Technical Specifications & Load Capacities

Understanding load capacities is critical for safe and efficient pallet usage. Load capacity depends on multiple factors including material type, construction method, deck board thickness, stringer/block configuration, and how the load is distributed. We provide detailed specifications for every pallet we sell to ensure you select the right product for your application.

Load Capacity Types Explained

⬇️

Static Load

Up to 10,000 lbs

Maximum weight when pallet is stationary on level ground with evenly distributed load. This is the highest capacity rating.

🚜

Dynamic Load

Up to 4,600 lbs

Maximum weight during movement by forklift, pallet jack, or conveyor. Typically 50-60% of static capacity due to stress from handling.

📊

Racking Load

Up to 2,500 lbs

Maximum weight when supported only at edges in racking systems. Most conservative rating due to concentrated stress points.

How to Choose the Right Pallet: Step-by-Step Guide

Selecting the optimal pallet involves evaluating multiple factors. Follow this comprehensive guide to make an informed decision that balances performance, safety, and cost.

1

Assess Your Load Requirements

Key Questions:

  • ?What is the maximum weight of your loaded pallet?
  • ?How is the weight distributed?
  • ?What are the dimensions of your product?
  • ?Is the load stable or does it shift?

Important: Overloading pallets is the leading cause of failures. Always calculate total weight including packaging and account for uneven distribution.

2

Evaluate Your Handling Methods

Key Questions:

  • ?Will you use forklifts, pallet jacks, or conveyors?
  • ?Do you need 2-way or 4-way entry?
  • ?Will pallets be lifted from the bottom or top?
  • ?Do you use automated handling systems?

Important: Your material handling equipment determines required pallet entry configuration and minimum bottom deck board clearance.

3

Consider Storage Systems

Key Questions:

  • ?Will pallets be stored in racks or on the floor?
  • ?What type of racking system do you use?
  • ?What is the maximum stack height?
  • ?How long will pallets be in storage?

Important: Racked storage requires higher quality pallets with good bottom deck boards to prevent sagging and failure.

4

Review Environmental Factors

Key Questions:

  • ?Will pallets be exposed to moisture or weather?
  • ?What is the operating temperature range?
  • ?Are there chemicals or contaminants present?
  • ?Do you need clean room compatibility?

Important: Environmental conditions significantly impact pallet performance and lifespan. Choose materials appropriate for your conditions.

5

Check Regulatory Requirements

Key Questions:

  • ?Do you ship internationally (ISPM-15)?
  • ?Are there industry-specific regulations (FDA, GMP)?
  • ?Do you need specific certifications?
  • ?Are there customer requirements?

Important: Non-compliance can result in rejected shipments, fines, or product contamination. Verify all applicable regulations.

6

Calculate Total Cost of Ownership

Key Questions:

  • ?What is your expected pallet lifespan?
  • ?How many trips will each pallet make?
  • ?What are repair and replacement costs?
  • ?Are pallets returnable or one-way?

Important: The cheapest pallet is not always the most economical. Factor in durability, repair costs, and operational efficiency.
