Plastic pallets play a vital role in the transportation, storage, loading and unloading of goods. Suitable plastic pallets save a lot of cost for logistics. Today we will introduce the most common types of plastic pallets and their advantages.
1. 1200x800mm pallet
The more popular sized emerged as a result of common use and trade routes. The European market would transport goods by train, and so made small pallets that would fit into trains and easily fit through doorways, hence 800mm wide (with most doorways in Europe measuring 850mm wide).
2. 1200x1000mm pallet （ 48″ x 40″）
Trade between the UK and North America was mostly by boat, so their pallets were sized to fit into shipping containers with as little wasted space as possible.
So 1200x1000mm will be a better choice.
While the 48″ x 40″ pallet is the most common in North America, making up more than 30% of all pallets in the United States
3.1200x1200mm pallet ( 48″ x 48″ ）
The second most popular pallet size in the US, as a 48×48 drum pallet it can hold four 55 gallon drums without risk of hanging over. This square pallet is popular with feed, chemical and beverage industries because the square design helps resist load tipping. Special size for big bags. Allows for safe double stacking
4.1200x1100mm (48x43inch) is a rare size.
Between 1200×1000 and 1200×1200, it is mainly suitable for some irregular products or customized shelves.
In addition, because 1200 and 1100 are relatively close, often this design allows the long and wide sides of the tray to be used interchangeably to maximize space utilization.
Especially during the 40GP container loading process, 1200×1000 pallets have greater substitutability.
5.The 1500 x 1200 mm pallet is designed for the unitised load storage and handling of bagged products, primarily in the milling industry
Designed for unitized load storage and handling of bagged products
Compared to other models of pallets, 1500 is considered a large-sized pallet.
Mainly suitable for some large-sized goods. For example, large medical devices or industrial equipment.
