Pallet

Pallet A Pallet is a flat structure, usually made of wood, used to handle transportation, store goods, or transport cargo. What is a Pallet in logistics? It is a horizontal and consistent platform used to stack, transport, or handle different goods thanks to the use of hydraulic cranes or forklifts that allow its lifting and movement. It is one of the most common structures for loading goods in the logistics and transportation sector. How is the Pallet used in transportation? The pallet is usually secured to prevent damage to the products being mobilized. Without the corresponding structure, goods run the risk of being damaged during transportation. There is a method to store, secure, and transport stackable goods on pallets, and then send them as a unit load. This method is called palletization. What types of Pallets exist? Depending on the use it will be given, the material in which the Pallet is manufactured can be wood, plastic, or metal. The best type of pallet to use for transportation purposes will depend on the nature of the goods or products being transported, the conditions of the pickup and deposit sites, as well as the type of vehicle sent for mobilization. Why choose palletization? Palletization allows equipment such as forklifts to standardize the way of handling loads; that is, pallets serve to secure shipments. Since most items shipped require this method, pallets are an essential part of protecting your goods against damage. Without them, shipping items would cease to be safe.
