Wooden Pallet: Types and Key Uses

Understanding Wooden Pallet

Wooden pallet is one of the most commonly used types of pallets, popular due to their long history of use. They are widely preferred over other types of pallets because they are easy to source, very strong, and their production process is simple and quick. The process of making wooden pallet involves cutting wood into rectangular boards of the desired size and then assembling these boards together, leaving spaces for forklifts to insert their forks for moving goods placed on the pallets. Typically, wooden pallet is made from hardwoods such as Acacia, Lagerstroemia, and Rubberwood.

Advantages of Wooden Pallet

Wooden pallet is affordable, making them suitable for startups and businesses with limited budgets. They are highly durable, capable of bearing loads of 1 – 2 tons per pallet when moving and up to 4 – 6 tons per pallet when stationary. They can be easily repaired by replacing individual parts if damaged or by adding new boards to the existing pallet.

Due to these advantages, many industries worldwide choose wooden pallet, including trade, export-import businesses, manufacturing, and storage warehouses.
