1. Why do plastic pallet prices fluctuate?
Plastic pallet pricing is directly tied to petroleum market dynamics. As virgin polymer resins (PP/HDPE) are petroleum derivatives, crude oil price volatility impacts raw material costs. Additionally, supply chain factors like freight rates and regional demand variations contribute to periodic adjustments. We implement price hedging strategies to minimize fluctuations for long-term partners.
2. What is Dynamic Load Capacity?
Dynamic Load refers to the maximum weight a pallet can safely carry during handling and transportation, including impacts from forklift movement, conveyor systems, or sudden stops.
Example: A 2,000kg dynamic-rated pallet can safely transport loads up to 2 metric tons across warehouse floors.
3. What is Static Load Capacity?
Static load indicates the maximum weight a pallet can support in stationary storage under uniform load distribution, typically in floor-stacked configurations.
Key considerations:
Typically 3-4x higher than dynamic ratings (e.g., 6,000kg static vs 2,000kg dynamic)
Critical for multi-tier storage: Safe Stacking Height = Static Load ÷ Single Pallet Weight
Scenario: Stacking 4 pallets each holding 1,500kg requires minimum 6,000kg static rating.
4. What is Rack Load Capacity?
Rack Load refers to the maximum weight a pallet can bear in racking systems when supported only at its perimeter (by rack beams), excluding intermediate supports.
5. What defines a Rackable Pallet?
Rackable pallets feature structural reinforcements for open-span racking systems:
Beam Support Design: 3+ longitudinal runners (ISO 6780 compliant)
Edge Reinforcement: 10% thicker sidewalls vs standard pallets
Load Types: Compatible with selective, drive-in, and push-back racks (FEM 10.2.02 certified)
