Shelf pallets are specialized pallets for warehouse or automated storage systems. These plastic pallets typically require steel pipes inside to enhance their load-bearing capacity, with the number of steel pipes adjusted based on actual load requirements. Shelf pallets generally have a high load capacity, with dynamic loads reaching 1.5T, static loads reaching 6T, and shelf loads up to 0.8-1T, making them suitable for heavy goods. The choice of shelf pallets should depend on the type of shelves used (beam shelves, drive-in racks, gravity racks, robotic shelves, automated warehouses, etc.). Goods on the pallets should be placed stably on the shelf beams, and the pallet length should exceed the external diameter of the shelves by at least 50mm.
Shelf pallets are widely used in industries such as food, tobacco, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. They come in various forms such as grid stringer type, grid block type, flat stringer type, grid double-sided, and flat double-sided, catering to different user needs.
Standard pallets are designed for use on flat surfaces and are generally not recommended for use on shelves. This is because standard pallets have lower load-bearing capacities, with dynamic loads reaching 1000kg, static loads reaching 4000kg, and shelf loads only 200-300kg. Exceeding the load capacity on shelves can pose safety risks, so they are more suitable for lighter products. Standard pallets come in various forms such as grid stringer type, grid block type, flat stringer type, grid double-sided, and flat double-sided, catering to different user needs.
