The role of wooden pallets in today's logistics system is to undertake the carrier or container of commodity transportation, storage and handling, which is an important and inseparable part. Therefore, the standard of wooden pallets needs to be matched with the storage equipment and transportation vehicles, so as to be able to fit and make greater use of the volume of carrying equipment. So, what are the storage methods of wooden pallets?

The role of wooden pallets in today's logistics system is to undertake the carrier or container of commodity transportation, storage and handling, which is an important and inseparable part. Therefore, the standard of wooden pallets needs to be matched with the storage equipment and transportation vehicles, so as to be able to fit and make greater use of the volume of carrying equipment. So, what are the storage methods of wooden pallets?

1. Stacking wooden pallets

That is, the goods are stacked directly on the pallet, and then the pallet is placed directly on the ground, which is a common way of storing wooden pallets. Under normal circumstances, for the same SKU (inventory holding unit), one or more areas will be designated for intensive storage of pallets next to pallets, and for some goods whose pallets can be stacked, multi-layer stacking storage can be carried out (such as paper industry finished product storage).

However, the Sichuan bottom tray cannot be used in the beverage, grain, oil and even rice industries, because its bottom contact surface is relatively small, and it is easy to squeeze into the lower packaging when stacking the plates, resulting in product damage. Therefore, this wooden pallet storage method is suitable for application scenarios with low equipment cost, low site space utilization, inability to access a specified specific pallet at will, short turnaround time requirements (fast forward and fast out), and a small number of SKUs.

2. Shelf storage wooden pallet

Shelf storage is also a very common storage mode. Domestic beam shelves have two different specifications in beam design. One is 1 meter direction and short side fork. The other is 1.2 meters direction and long side fork. These two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. At present, many fast consumer goods enterprises are used to long side fork. Because the turning radius of the forklift that stores wooden pallets with long sides is small, it can improve the utilization rate and storage capacity of the warehouse. On the other hand, if the long side faces outward, it is very helpful for retailers to pick goods faster and easier.

3. The storage mode of the stacker-type automated three-dimensional warehouse adopts the combination of the stacker-rack pallet conveyor, that is, the goods are stacked on the pallet, and then the pallet is placed on the pallet conveyor in front of the warehouse by forklift, and transported to the pick-up port of the stacker via the conveyor, thus realizing the greater utilization of the warehouse space and the automatic loading and unloading of the shelf.

Well, the above is about the wooden pallet storage method, I hope you can understand, and then choose the appropriate storage method according to the actual situation, in order to achieve greater use of space, in order to play the role of wooden pallets.
