In today's logistics and warehousing industry, plastic pallets play an important role as a transportation and storage tool. With its advantages of light weight, durability, and easy cleaning, it has gradually replaced traditional wooden pallets and become an ideal choice for many industries. However, there are many types of plastic pallets, and many companies have no choice at the moment. Today we will mainly introduce the types of plastic pallets.

By Deck Design

Open Deck Plastic Pallet

The top layer of the open-deck pallet adopts a "ventilation hole" or grid perforation design, which can ensure ventilation at the bottom of the goods when storing and transporting goods, preventing the goods from getting wet. It is very suitable for transporting food processing industries, such as sugar factories, flour mills, etc.

Solid Deck Plastic Pallet

The top layer of the solid deck pallet is fully enclosed with a smooth surface that is easy to clean and disinfect. Generally, an anti-slip mat is added to the top layer to prevent the product from slipping.

By How The Pallet is Used

Double-sided Plastic Pallet

The top and bottom of a double-sided plastic pallet are usually designed with grid perforations. Double-sided plastic pallets can be flipped or not. Generally, if the top and bottom are designed the same, they can be flipped. If the top and bottom are designed differently, they cannot be used on both sides.

Single-side Plastic Pallet

The bottom of a single-sided plastic pallet is usually open, and only the top can carry goods. The bottom is usually a three-slide design or a nine-leg design.

By Structure

3 Runner Plastic Pallet

The three-runner plastic pallet is named for its three parallel structures at the bottom. The three-slide design facilitates the insertion of forklift tines, is suitable for different types of forklifts, and improves cargo handling efficiency.

Nine-legged Plastic Pallet

Nine-legged pallets have nine equally spaced legs instead of rails. Nine-legged pallets have either a flat top or a grid top. Pallets with a grid top generally have recessed surfaces to form the legs, so that nine can be nested and stacked to improve space utilization.

Spill Containment Pallet

Spill containment pallets are generally used to transport barreled products, such as oil, chemicals or other liquid products. The top of the pallet is perforated to ensure that when liquid spills, it will directly enter the interior of the pallet, ensuring the safety of the transport personnel.

By Materials

HDPE Plastic Pallet

HDPE plastic pallets are resistant to low temperatures and can be used in low-temperature cold chain logistics. They are also highly impact-resistant and are not easily damaged even if they are hit. They are also highly corrosion-resistant and can be used to transport chemical, pharmaceutical and other products.

PP Plastic Pallet

PP plastic pallets are suitable for use in high-temperature environments, such as high-temperature processing in industries such as food processing and pharmaceutical production. Moreover, the material has good hardness and rigidity, and can bear heavy goods without deformation.

By Forklift Usage

Two-way Plastic Pallet

Two-way plastic pallets are suitable for relatively light and small goods. Due to the small number of channels, the forklift needs to be precisely aligned with the channel when operating.

Four-way Plastic Pallet

Four-way plastic pallets can bear heavy goods, and during forklift handling, four-way plastic pallets are easier to align during forklift operation, and the forklift's forks have more insertion options.

By Purpose

Flooring Plastic Pallet

Flooring plastic pallets refer to pallets that can store goods on the ground. Generally, nine-legged pallets and three-runner pallets can be used on the ground to avoid direct touch between the goods and the ground and prevent the goods from getting wet when they come into contact with the ground.

TitleRackable Plastic Pallet

Rackable plastic pallets are plastic pallets that can be placed on shelves to stack goods. Not only can they make full use of warehouse space, but they can also make it easier for staff to organize and manage goods.

Stackable Plastic Pallet

The biggest feature of stackable plastic pallets is that they can use vertical space to stack goods. Most of their pallets are double-sided grid designs and can be used on both sides, but some stackable pallets also use a smooth closed single-sided design.

By Production Technology

Injection Molded Plastic Pallet

Injection molded pallets are formed by melting raw materials and injecting them into a mold. Because they are made in a closed mold, the quality of the produced pallets is high, and the size and performance can be highly consistent.

Blow Molded Plastic Pallet

Blow molded pallets are formed by extruding the raw materials into a parison, placing it into a mold and blowing compressed air into it.

Rotation Molded Plastic Pallet

Blow molded pallets have good impact resistance and are not easily damaged by frequent collisions and falls. Roto-molded pallets are formed by placing the raw materials into a mold, rotating and heating the mold, and finally forming a pallet. The pallets formed by roto-molding have a uniform texture and low cost.

Note: ENLIGHTENING PALLET's spill containment pallets are produced using rotational molding and can be made into various complex shapes. The nine-legged pallet is produced using blow molding, and all others are produced using injection molding.

By Industry

Food Grade Plastic Pallet

Plastic pallets used for food storage and transportation are generally made of high-quality HDPE/PP materials that meet FDA testing. The surface of the pallet is smooth and easy to clean, and it is not easy to accumulate bacteria.

Chemical Plastic Pallet

Spill containment pallets are generally used in the chemical industry to prevent oil, chemical products or other liquids from directly spilling onto the ground and polluting the environment.

Warehouse Logistics Plastic Pallet

Generally, plastic pallets can be used for warehouse storage. However, if you need to stack or put them on shelves, you need to choose stackable pallets or rackable pallets to ensure correct use.

Automatic Stereoscopic Warehouse Plastic Pallet

Pallets can be stacked on shelves and work closely with automated equipment to achieve efficient goods storage and retrieval.

For Wholesalers

For industries that need to purchase plastic pallets in large quantities, such as the food processing industry and large supermarkets, wholesalers need to focus on the product prices provided by suppliers and whether they have their own factories to ensure that the batch size, color, etc. of plastic pallets are consistent.

Brand Owners

Brand owners should focus on whether plastic pallet suppliers offer customization services and whether their supply chain is stable and reliable. It is best to choose ISO-certified OEM/ODM factories to understand their cooperation case studies, design capabilities, and flexible minimum order quantities.
