The development trend of industrial plastic pallets
Source: kuda 2025-05-21
Industrial plastic pallets, as a key carrier of modern logistics systems, have three main advantages: firstly, excellent durability. Polymer materials endow them with characteristics such as corrosion resistance and moisture resistance, and they perform significantly better than traditional materials in humid or chemical environments; Secondly, the high degree of standardization and precise mold forming process ensure seamless integration with automated equipment, greatly improving the efficiency of warehousing operations; Finally, the environmental sustainability feature not only meets international logistics quarantine standards, but also its recyclability is more in line with the requirements of circular economy development. These characteristics together constitute the irreplaceability of plastic pallets in intelligent manufacturing and green supply chains.
Plastic pallets are injection molded from HDPE or PP materials, which have core advantages such as light weight (30% -50% lighter than wooden pallets), corrosion resistance (adaptable to environments ranging from -30 ℃ to 60 ℃), and long service life (average 5-8 years). Its standardized design (commonly 1200 × 1000mm European standard/1100 × 1100mm sub standard) can perfectly match logistics equipment such as shelves and forklifts, and meets FDA food grade certification requirements.
Diversified application scenarios
In the field of food and medicine, the moisture-proof and mildew proof characteristics ensure hygiene and safety, and can withstand repeated cleaning and disinfection in cold chain logistics
Chemical industry: Acid and alkali resistant materials are suitable for the transportation of corrosive goods such as dyes and coatings
Cross border logistics: The fumigation free feature meets international logistics quarantine requirements and reduces customs clearance costs by 30%
Intelligent Manufacturing: RFID Embedded Tray for Full Process Cargo Tracking
Trends in Technology and Environmental Protection Development
The 2024 industry report shows that the size of China's plastic tray market has reached 8.7 billion yuan, with an annual growth rate of 12%. The new modified plastic technology has increased the load-bearing capacity of pallets to 2000kg, and the folding design saves 60% of storage space. With the advancement of the EU's SUP ban on plastic, environmentally friendly pallets with over 30% recycled plastic will become mainstream, and some companies have achieved 100% recycling process.
Standardized logistics efficiency improvement
Automation compatibility: tolerance control within ± 2mm, AGV forklift docking success rate increased to 99.7%
Stereoscopic library adaptation: Field bottom structure shelf storage density increases by 22% (compared to nine legged)
Turnover efficiency: RFID inlay enables batch scanning, increasing the speed of inbound and outbound by three times.
The current plastic tray industry is developing towards intelligence and lightweight direction. It is recommended that enterprises make reasonable selection based on their own logistics system.
