Standard Pallets for Your Daily Shipping Needs
In many companies, it is essential to have high-quality standard pallets that ensure proper logistics operations. Among the various materials used, wood is often preferred for being a traditional, cost-effective, and durable option. Are you familiar with the types of pallets and their uses in different industries?
Custom Design and Manufacturing of Pallets to Your Specifications
With the increasing importance of logistics-related work, having durable high-quality standard pallets is crucial. Some of the advantages businesses gain when they choose to use high-performance materials are as follows:
The standard pallet size for product protection is one of the most widely used worldwide: this means that goods from any business sector can fit perfectly into this size, reducing wasted space.
This type of pallet is suitable for any kind of product, including liquids.
Sizes and Types of Standard Pallets
There are many standard sizes outside the United States, and even within the country, there is a classification. When it comes to standard pallets, the most frequently used sizes are as follows:
First, the 48×40 size, which is the most common size in the United States, accounting for 30%.
A slightly smaller size than 48×40 is the 42×42, with a capacity of 4,445 lbs.
The 36×36 pallet allows for smaller loads and is preferred for smaller products.
Of course, there is also a classification for standard pallets based on construction style. In this regard, the following types stand out:
Stringer pallets, constructed in a way that forklifts can enter from any side.
Solid deck pallets, characterized by having a sheet of wood instead of planks, making it easier to clean and transport.
Block pallets, which utilize cylindrical posts to provide more stability to their structure.
Finally, double-wing pallets, characterized by segments of boards that protrude from the structure.
Each type and size of standard pallet has been designed to provide companies with greater flexibility based on the products they transport. Of course, materials are also an important factor to consider when choosing a pallet.
Choosing the Right Standard Pallets for Your Company
Standard size
What type of pallets should you use? This will depend greatly on the type of company you have. Here are some examples of how they vary based on the products you will store or transport:
Standard pallets in the automotive industry are often made of wood, including transporting spare parts on wooden platforms.
Wood is also valued for standard pallets in the medical industry, but with smaller dimensions.
For standard pallets in the food industry, wood is always the best option in larger proportions.
In any case, the best choice can only be obtained by consulting experts in transport platforms like those at DMD. It is certain that you will find pallets that perfectly suit your needs.
Sustainability and Recycling for Standard Pallets
One of our main concerns is being a company that advocates for recycling when designing reliable standard pallets for transportation. That is one of our sustainability strategies, along with reforestation for future availability of raw materials.
