Here are some suggestions on how to properly use and maintain plastic pallets:
Correct use:
Uniform placement of goods
Ensure that the goods are evenly distributed on the surface of the pallet to avoid deformation or damage caused by local overweight. For example, do not stack heavy objects in one corner of the pallet.
Comply with load limitations
Strictly load the goods according to the rated load capacity of the pallet. Overloading may cause the pallet to break or lose stability.
Correctly cross over
When using a forklift to lift a pallet, ensure that the fork teeth of the forklift are fully inserted into the holes of the pallet, and lift and lower smoothly to prevent collisions and scratches.
Avoid dragging and dropping
Do not drag the tray on the ground, as this can easily cause wear on the bottom of the tray and affect its service life.
Proper maintenance:
Regular cleaning
Clean the tray with a mild cleaner and soft cloth to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Avoid using highly corrosive cleaning agents to prevent damage to the tray.
For example, for trays contaminated with oil, specialized degreasing and cleaning agents can be used for cleaning.
Inspection and repair
Regularly inspect the tray for cracks, deformations, damaged sockets, and other issues. If minor damage is found, repair it promptly to prevent the problem from escalating.
Properly stored
When not in use, the tray should be stored in a dry, ventilated place away from direct sunlight to prevent aging and deformation.
When stacking and storing, be careful not to exceed the specified number of layers to avoid crushing the bottom tray.
Avoid high temperature environments
Plastic pallets may deform in high temperature environments, and prolonged exposure to high temperatures should be avoided as much as possible.
Prevent chemical erosion
Avoid contact with strong acids, alkalis, and other chemicals on the tray to prevent corrosion.
By proper use and maintenance, the service life of plastic pallets can be extended, their efficiency can be improved, and costs can be reduced.
