How to choose a plastic tray?

Temperature condition. Different operating temperatures directly affect the choice of material for the pallet manufacturing. This is because trays of different materials have a temperature range in which their performance is normal. For example, the temperature of the plastic tray is between +40 and -25 °C.
Moisture. Some materials have a strong hygroscopicity, such as a wooden pallet, which cannot be used in a damp environment, otherwise it will directly affect the service life.
Use the cleanliness of the environment. Consider the degree of contamination of the pallet by the environment. In a highly polluted environment, it is important to choose a tray that is resistant to contamination and easy to clean. Such as plastic trays, composite plastic wood trays, etc.
The special requirements of the palletized material for the cargo carried. Sometimes the goods carried by the pallet are corrosive or the goods carried require the pallet to have a high degree of cleanliness. It is necessary to choose a plastic pallet with strong corrosion resistance or a plastic-wood composite pallet.
Choose according to purpose
Whether the goods carried on the pallet are used for export. Since many countries require fumigation and insecticide treatment for packaging materials used for imported goods, it is equivalent to an increase in export costs. For export trays, disposable plastic trays or simple fumigant-free trays should be selected.
Whether the tray is on the shelf. Pallets used for shelf stacking should be selected from rigid, non-deformable, and highly loaded pallets; such as steel pallets and wooden pallets with harder hardwoods.
Choice of tray size
At present, there are four kinds of pallet specifications in the national standard, which are 1200mm×1000mm, ×200mm×800mm, 1140mm×1140mm and 1219mm×1016mm.
In order to make the pallets versatile in future use, these types of pallets should be selected as much as possible, so that the pallets can be exchanged and used in the future. Of course, various industries have formed their own original packaging dimensions for a long time, and it is understandable that there are some specific requirements for the size of the pallet. However, in the long run, the national standard size should be selected.
Consider the size of the transport and transport equipment. The appropriate tray size should be just the size of the transport, which can improve the rational use of the transport space, save transportation costs, especially considering the size of the container and transport truck.
In addition to considering the size of the warehouse, the size of the warehouse, the size of each cargo; considering the packaging specifications of the palletized goods, and selecting the appropriate size of the pallet according to the packaging specifications of the palletized goods, the surface area of the pallet can be utilized to the utmost extent.
Consider the use interval of the tray. The flow direction of the pallet in which the goods are loaded directly affects the selection of the pallet size. Usually, the goods to Europe should be 1200mm × 1000mm pallets, and the goods to Japan should be 1100mm × 1100mm pallets. Pallet structure selection
The structure of the tray directly affects the efficiency of the use of the pallet, and the suitable structure can fully utilize the characteristics of the forklift for efficient operation.
The pallet is used as a floorboard, that is, the pallet does not move after loading the cargo, but it is only waterproof and waterproof. The tray with simple structure and low cost can be selected, such as a simple plastic tray, but the static load of the tray should be paid attention to. For pallets for transportation, handling, loading and unloading, it is necessary to select trays with high strength and large dynamic loads. Because of the repeated use of this type of pallet and the use of the forklift, the strength of the pallet is required to be high. Therefore, the structure of the pallet is required to be "Tian" or "Chuan".
Depending on whether the pallets are to be stacked after loading the goods, decide whether to choose single-sided or double-sided pallets. Single-sided pallets are not suitable for stacking because they only have one bearing surface. Otherwise, it is easy to cause damage to the lower-level goods. Therefore, if you need to stack the goods after reloading the goods, you must choose double-sided pallets.
If the blister tray is used on a solid library shelf, it is also necessary to consider whether the structure of the tray is suitable. Since the articles can only be inserted from the shelves in two directions, the trays for the shelves are selected from the four-sided forks as much as possible, so that the forklifts can be forked and the work efficiency is improved. At this time, the tray is generally selected from a field type structure.
