Plastic Pallets

Plastic pallets are plates which are used for loading and unloading. It facilitates cargo managing,transport, storage and distribution. A plastic pallet consists of load surface that may carry a certainnumber of cargo and sockets created for forklift. Plastic pallet may be the most obscure logisticsapparatus but it exists everywhere and it is the principal means to modification cargo from static topowerful. Although maybe how big is plastic pallets is one square meter, nonetheless it “can movethe Earth”. So the plastic pallet is named the active ground, mobile dock.

In recent years, logistics industry is rolling out rapidly with an annual growth rate of more than 15%.Professionals predict that, in the approaching years, the logistic industry will maintain the averageannual rate of 20%, the amount of plastic pallets will exceed 20 million. “big efficiency, energysaving, environmental protection, low cost ” is the main characteristics of logistic industry later on.This is a production opportunity but an excellent challenge for plastic pallets manufactures also.

The development of plastic pallets benefits from several factors. First of all, the plastic pallets havesuperior overall performance. Then, for some time, the pallet in logistic market is constructed ofwood. However, with raising environmental pressure, railway transport problems a regulation ofdisabling wooden pallets. European countries, America, Japan and other countries proposed near-stringent fumigation and quarantine requirements on the import of hardwood packaging(incorporating wooden pallets). Furthermore, the processing tools of plastic pallets have highamount of automation and large productivity. With the improvement of plastic mechanical propertiesand the decrease of raw materials expense, the expense of plastic pallets is no longer the bottleneckwhich limited the use. One side is the creation of the logistic sector drives the increase of the plasticpallets demand, the different side is the “primary force” wooden pallets tend to failure, each one ofthese indicates that plastic pallets are facing tremendous opportunities.

Durability: the life span of plastic pallets is about 10 times much longer than wooden pallets.

Reliability: the dependability of the structure of plastic pallets significantly reduces the damageconsumption of plastic pallets, along with the cargo damage due to the broken pallets. Plastic palletsare lighter compared to the wooden pallets in the same size, it reduce the cost and weight oftransport.

Health: plastic pallets can be washed and reused.

Global trends: plastic pallets are free from fumigation and quarantine, could be export to Europeand different countries directly. European Community requires all food, beverage and medicinetransport must employ plastic pallets.

Specific: plastic pallets are more and more popular in some wonderful commodity market, such as:food, beverage, pharmaceutical industry. And according to the requirements of different plants,plastic pallets could be made of a number of colors, coupled with the correct company logo andmark. It creates 5S management possible for enterprises.

Insurance: because of detrimental resistance of plastic pallets, a corresponding reduction in workerscompensation claims, and the reduce usage of wood found in factory is equal to the reduced amountof fire insurance premiums.

Residual value: the applied plastic pallets can be distributed at 30% of compounding extruder theinitial price, because plastic pallets could be sold back to manufacturers or other entities as a way toreuse.

Environmental protection: plastic pallets are environmental friendly products, because they can allbe recycled and reuse, greatly reducing the waste and disposal cost.

Security of forests: the use of plastic pallets can prevent thousands of acres of forest loss each year.

Plastic pallets have two types: single sided type and double sided type. Double sided type can bedivided into assembled and monolithic. At present, plastic pallets are made by injection moulding,accompanied by the extrusion-hollow blow moulding. Extrusion products aren't too much, vacuumforming is used. SINO MOULD is among the top rated Pallet mould companies in China, whofeatures been widely recognized as the professional Pallet mould company.
