The Role Of Plastic Pallets in Modern Logistics

Pallets play an important role in the modern logistics system. The rational use of pallets and the consistent implementation of pallet operations are important means to keep logistics and supply chains connected, smooth, and connected, and are also key factors to greatly improve logistics efficiency and reduce costs. Therefore, the development of the pallet industry is the national logistics. important elements of modernization. As a rising star in the pallet family - can plastic pallets play this important role? In recent years, with the development of the economy, China's logistics industry has continued to heat up, with an average annual growth rate of more than 15 percent . Some experts predict that in the next few years, the average annual growth rate of China's logistics market will remain at 20 percent .

The improvement of logistics efficiency and the reduction of costs are inseparable from pallets. From the moment a product leaves the production line, it has an indissoluble bond with the pallet. Transportation, warehousing, loading and unloading, packaging, circulation, and distribution are all these logistics links. If there is no pallet, it will cost several times more, Dozens of times the time and labor. More importantly, the cargo objects handled in the logistics system have different shapes and sizes. Only by placing the cargo into cargo units with uniform specifications and a certain volume and shape can it be possible to realize mechanization and automation, and truly achieve cost reduction and improvement. purpose of efficiency.

It can be said that pallets are the basic tools for seamless connection of all aspects of logistics. Without pallets, the integration, standardization and rapid response of modern logistics industry will be impossible.

The role of pallets in modern logistics is self-evident. What is the current situation of China's pallet industry?

The pallets are mainly divided into wooden pallets, plastic pallets, metal pallets, paper pallets and composite material pallets. Among the 220 million pallets in China, wooden pallets are still the main force in the pallet family. It takes decades for a pine tree to become a material, and an adult pine tree can only produce 6 standard pallets. Constrained by conditions such as limited forest resources and long regeneration cycle, the development space of wooden pallets is restricted. In addition, with the increasing pressure of environmental protection, the prohibition of wooden pallets for railway transportation has been introduced, and countries such as Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries have put forward stringent fumigation and inspection and quarantine requirements for imported wooden packaging (including wooden pallets), and the application of wooden pallets has been more and more. many restrictions. When wooden pallets face more and more serious development bottlenecks, plastic pallets stand out and become a rising star.

The development of plastic pallets benefits from several factors. First of all, the performance of plastic pallets is superior; secondly, the country has increased the control of deforestation, which has caused the cost of wood to rise sharply. It stimulates the use of plastic pallets; in addition, the plastic pallet processing equipment has a high degree of automation, large output and flexible design, which can better meet the individual needs of customers.
