The main material and use cautions for wooden pallets

The main material of the wooden tray:

The performance and characteristics of wooden pallets come from the wood itself. Material is the decisive factor in determining the application and price of wooden pallets.

1 Poplar: It is a broad-leaved tree species with loose and soft materials and poor durability. It is used to produce pallets with low load-bearing requirements.

2 Pine: It is a kind of coniferous tree with many types and wide applicability. Larch / pine / white pine / red pine texture thick, hard wood, white color, beautiful appearance, and more for the production of fine packaging, but the price is higher.

The service life of the tray depends mainly on the correct use and storage conditions of the tray. In actual use, improper handling of forklift trucks is the most important factor causing pallet damage, accounting for more than 80%. In addition, it is also important that the pallets are not overloaded and properly placed (ensuring that the forces are at the main load-bearing location).

At present, the materials of domestic wooden pallets mainly include loosewood, pinewood, and hardwood. Different materials represent different performances of pallets. The European tray standard clearly states that it is not possible to use poplar wood. The wooden pallets are dried and shaped to reduce moisture and eliminate internal stresses. Then they are cut, planed, broken, edging, sanding and other finishing processes to form profile plates. In the case of a nut structure) the profile plates are bound into semi-finished trays and finally finished and non-slip treated.
