A plastic pallet may have nine legs, which can be lifted from all four sides-

A Pallet can also be a small, hard, or temporary bed (a term heavily used in the southern United States to describe a makeshift bed consisting of a blanket and a pillow on the floor).

It usually refers to a number of cartons of roving placed on a wooden skid and strapped together as a shipping unit. Normally a pallet load consists of either 36 or 48 cartons of roving.

What a Pallet Is:

A pallet is a flat transport structure designed to support a variety of goods in a stable fashion while being lifted by any mobile forklift or other jacking device.

The goods are placed on top of the pallet, and can be secured to it by straps or stretch-wrapped plastic film. While the majority of pallets are made of wood, pallets manufactured from plastic, metal, paper can also be found. A pallet is sometimes colloquially called a skid, by back-formation from skid loader.

Wooden Pallet

A wooden pallet costs anything from a few pounds per unit to ten times that number, depending on quantities and type ordered. In North America a standard black plastic pallet costs (wholesale) from $20 - $70 US Dollars.

They are available in bulk to businesses but usually not to individuals. While a wooden pallet is close to a plastic one in value, it is in general cheaper to buy. But the life expectancy of a wooden pallet is relatively short as plastic pallets can last much longer in normal use.

Plastic pallets are stronger, more hygienic and safer in some applications. Using plastic pallets can be environment-friendly if they are disposed of properly after their longer life.

Overview of Pallets and Pallet Boxes

The gradual advent of containers for the transport of nearly all goods has spurred the use of pallets because the containers always offer the clean, level surfaces needed to make pallet movement economical.

Most pallets can easily carry a load of 1,000 kg (about 2,000 lb). Today, over half a billion pallets are manufactured each year and about two billion pallets are in use across the United States alone.

One of the greatest advantages of pallets is the number of ways they can be moved around. They can be hauled by forklift trucks of different sizes and they can also be transported by hand-pumped and hand-drawn jacks which require no more than muscle power, wherever a solid and even floor with enough room is available.

A forklift truck often costs the same as a luxury automobile but a good reconditioned hand-drawn "pumper" jack can be obtained for a few hundred euros.

The greatest investment is thus in the time it takes to plan for clearances and level surfaces in the construction of commercial or industrial buildings where the use of pallets could be economical.

 History of Pallets

 Development of Commercial Transport Packaging with Wood Pallets and Plastic Pallets

Skids and pallets were slowly introduced throughout the early 20th century; wooden boxes, crates, barrels and kegs were much more commonly used to unitize, protect, store and transport goods. These are not the same as pallet boxes.

The predecessor of the wooden pallet was the wooden skid, which consisted of stringers fastened to a top deck. It first appeared in American factories in conjunction with the low lift truck. A crude low lift hand truck was invented in 1887 and a more durable, all-steel low lift truck design was introduced in 1909.

The high lift fork truck first appeared in 1915. With further modification in 1919, the truck could lift loads several feet high while other improvements included cantilever design and forks. The emergence of forks as well during the same period enabled lift trucks to handle a much greater range of materials.

Another development was the new capability of the mast of the fork lift to tilt both forward and back, independent of the lifting mechanism. These developments, along with the emergence of the double-faced pallet during the same time period, allowed for tiering of unit loads.

 As early as 1926, the essence of the modern lift truck had been developed. Now, pallets no longer were simply a means of moving materials within the plant. High lift trucks made possible vertical stacking of unit loads and a resulting dramatic improvement of warehouse and plant storage efficiencies.

 Evolution of Wood Pallets and Plastic Pallets

The pallet evolved in stages. Spacers were used between loads to allow fork entry, progressing to the placement of boards atop stringers to make skids.

Eventually boards were fastened to the bottom to create the pallet. The addition of bottom boards on the skid, which appeared by 1925, resulted in the pallet. With the bottom deck, several problems common to the single faced skid were addressed.

For example, the bottom boards provided better weight distribution and reduced product damage; they also provided better stacking strength and rigidity. Lift truck manufacturers promoted the idea of using more vertical area of a plant for stock storage.

 Impact of Wood Pallets and Plastic Pallets on Rail Transport

Pallets and forklifts also provided much quicker turnaround of rail cars and ships. In 1931, three days were required to unload a boxcar containing 13,000 cases of unpalletized canned goods.

When the same amount of goods were loaded into the railway trucks on pallets or skids, the identical task took only four hours. With the entry of the U.S. into World War II, the urgency for material handling reform changed almost overnight.

Palletization was regarded as an enormous opportunity to help the U.S. armed forces do more with less. Palletized loads could handle more goods with fewer people, freeing up men for military duty; it also could increase warehouse storage capacity and throughput, reducing the need for additional warehouse capacity.

Pallets were used somewhat in the European theater, but they were put to work extensively in the Pacific.

 Standardization and Regulation of Wood Pallets and Plastic Pallets

 Dimensions

No universally accepted standards for pallet dimensions exist. Companies and organizations utilize hundreds of different pallet sizes around the globe.

While no single dimensional standard governs pallet production, a number of different sizes have gained significant widespread usage.

 ISO Pallets- Wood Pallets and Plastic Pallets

International Organization for Standardization (ISO) sanctions six pallet dimensions, detailed in ISO Standard 6780: Flat pallets for intercontinental materials handling -- Principal dimensions and tolerances:

 North American Pallets- Wood Pallets and Plastic Pallets

There are ten pallet sizes that are commonly used in North America. Of the top ten, the most commonly used by far is the Grocery Manufacturers' Association (GMA) pallet, which accounts for 30% of all new wood pallets produced in the United States.

The ISO also recognizes the GMA pallet footprint as one of its six standard sizes.

 European Pallets

In Europe, the Euro Pallet (an EUR standard pallet) is commonly used and measures 80 by 120 by 12 cm. It is also called a CEN pallet and it is used mainly for retail business.

Manufacturers of Euro Pallets must be sanctioned by the Euro Pallet Pallet Association (EPAL), which also governs which types of nails and lumber may be used in construction. The four common sizes of Euro Pallets are:

Keep THINKING UNDER THE BOX about Wood Pallets and Plastic Pallets

Need a pallet to move a three-ton tank? No problem. Have a product that requires 3' X 6' pallet to fit into a cramped storage area? Can do. In fact, YOUR SUPPLIER "can do" about anything when it comes to building an aluminum pallet. In its four short years of operation,

YOUR SUPPLIER has perfected its ability to customize virtually any pallet a company may need built.

"We want businesses to start thinking under the box for their shipping and storage solutions," said the sales manager for YOUR SUPPLIER. "There is no idea too crazy. All a business has to do is ask and we can build a test model. It's that easy."

YOUR SUPPLIER was asked to create a two-tiered pallet to accomplish two purposes: it needed to safely store six electronic voting machines that would be used in the next election, and it needed to allow all six machines to be programmed at the same time.

The aluminum arms of the pallet hid and protected the wire needed to program the machines. Each machine was connected to the wire, allowing the voting machine programmer to connect to the main wire's jack and program all six consecutively, saving time and money.

"Our engineers love the challenge of a customized design," says Christians. "It's a fun project and they get the satisfaction of creating the exact solution a business needs."

Customization is Key for pallet boxes, pallet wrappers, and other pallet needs

As businesses seek cost-effective methods to package and ship products, many are seeing the pallet as an asset - one that will affect the bottom line.

Customized pallets provide an exact solution for any company need; but at the same time, it can't be cost prohibitive. Aluminum adapts to any size and need and budget.

It has lightweight strength, durability, and is resistant to pests and wear, ensuring the pallet will stand the test of time, bringing the highest return on investment to every company that uses it.

Customization is done electronically after the customer provides details of their need and dimensions for use. YOUR SUPPLIER pallets can be assembled before delivery, or the components can be shipped for on-site assembly by company staff.

This provides an option for cost savings up front, but also in long-term maintenance where repairs are done quickly and easily.

"We have yet to encounter a customization request we couldn't accommodate," said the man. "Aluminum is light, sturdy and clean. These pallets provide a pallet solution where, at times, there were none."

Why Aluminum for pallets, pallet boxes, pallet wrappers, and other pallet needs

?

Aluminum has lightweight strength, offering high performance and longevity. It can be used in a variety of applications and will maintain its structural integrity; allowing no splintering, cracking, corrosion or bending, which means less damage to the product it is carrying and a reduction in pallet-related work injuries.

Aluminum is impervious to extreme temperatures, contamination and pests. A custom pallet is hygienic, easily cleaned and sanitized, fire resistant and is immune to decomposition.

About YOUR SUPPLIER for pallets, pallet boxes, pallet wrappers, and other pallet needs

YOUR SUPPLIER aluminum pallets were originally developed by BTD Manufacturing in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, as a solution for their own shipping and storage needs.

BTD is a metal stamping and fabricating company that needed pallets that were clean, lightweight and able to withstand more than 4,000 pounds. The aluminum pallets were used to deliver BTD products to their own customers, but soon their clients saw its benefits and wanted to purchase the pallets for their own shipping and storage needs.

As a result of the overwhelming inquiries, YOUR SUPPLIER aluminum pallets were created and now it offers the safest, strongest and best aluminum pallets available.
