Flat plastic pallets are a type of logistics and warehousing equipment with a flat surface, characterized by standardized design, lightweight and durability, and are widely used in modern logistics and warehousing fields. Flat plastic pallets have become efficient and environmentally friendly standardized handling units in modern logistics systems due to their structural diversity, high load-bearing capacity, and hygiene safety.
1. Surface smoothness and cargo compatibility
The flat plastic tray adopts seamless or micro textured design, with a completely flat surface, especially suitable for transporting precision instruments, soft packaged goods (such as cardboard boxes, woven bags) or small items that are easy to slide. In contrast, the hollow structure of grid plastic pallets may cause small goods to get stuck in the gaps of the grid, increasing the difficulty of loading and unloading.
2. Cleanliness, hygiene, and pollution prevention capabilities
The non porous structure of the flat tray can effectively isolate liquid infiltration, which has significant advantages in industries with strict hygiene requirements such as food and medicine. Due to the presence of holes, grid trays are prone to residual dirt and difficult to thoroughly clean, which may breed bacteria.
3. Structural strength and load distribution
The overall force distribution of flat pallets is more uniform, suitable for stacking and transporting heavy goods (such as metal parts), and can reduce the risk of local deformation. Although the grid tray has a light weight, the stress is easily concentrated at the intersection of the grid during load-bearing, and long-term use may result in fracture.
4. Applicability to special scenarios
In automated warehousing systems, flat pallets have better compatibility with conveyor belts and robotic arms; The uneven edge structure of the grid tray may interfere with sensor recognition. But grid trays perform better in scenarios with high ventilation requirements, such as cold chain transportation of fresh products.
5. Economy and service life
Although the initial cost of flat pallets is slightly higher, their impact resistance and deformation resistance can extend their service life, resulting in lower overall costs in the long run. Grid pallets are more suitable for short-term, lightweight logistics turnover.
