The difference between the two wooden pallet structures

The European pallet is made up of panels and wooden blocks. It is a common European standard pallet. The European standard pallet can be inserted on all sides and is convenient to use, but the structure is complex and the overall firmness is inferior to that of the American standard pallet. American standard pallets are supported by several longitudinal beams, also known as stringer pallets, which are standard pallets commonly used in North America. The structure of American wooden pallets is very simple, and the production is very fast. The overall firmness is supported by the longitudinal beams, and the firmness is very good. The European standard pallet is formed by connecting foot piers and wooden boards, which can realize the fork in four directions, which is more convenient to use. But it also has its shortcomings, such as complex structure, poor overall firmness, and so on.

The difference between the use of European pallet and American pallet

European standard pallets are commonly used in modern logistics. Its use can ensure the storage and transportation of goods, greatly increase the power of industrial transportation, and ensure the speed of logistics transportation. When moving the European standard pallet, the distance between the two forks should be as wide as possible to the outer edge of the fork inlet of the pallet. The depth of the fork should be more than 2/3 of the depth of the entire European standard pallet. A European standard pallet is a tool designed for road and rail transportation with a size of 0.8×12 meters.

When hydraulic trucks and forklifts use European standard pallets for transportation, they should maintain a constant speed to advance and retreat and move up and down steadily. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid sudden brakes and sudden rotations that cause damage to the pallet, cause the goods to collapse and cause unnecessary losses. Try to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun for European standard pallets. Prevent the pallet from aging and shorten the service life.
