Steel Pallet
Steel pallets, also known as metal or iron pallets, are suitable for forklift operations and facilitate the storage and retrieval of goods. It is mainly used for multi-purpose ground storage, shelf storage, cargo intermodal transportation, turnover and other ultra light metal pallet series. The main material is steel or galvanized steel plate, which has good rigidity, large load-bearing capacity, durability, and long service life. Their compatibility with forklifts, pallet jacks, conveyors, and automated storage systems enhances operational efficiency, while stackable designs optimize warehouse space. Compared to wooden pallets, steel pallets offer superior durability and load capacity but are heavier (typically 20-100 kg empty) and more expensive upfront. Wooden pallets are cheaper and lighter but prone to splintering, rot, and pest infestation. Plastic pallets provide a middle ground—lightweight and resistant to moisture—but lack the extreme strength of steel. Against corrugated pallet boxes or Octabins, steel pallets are reusable and far stronger, though less suited for lightweight, disposable bulk packaging needs.
Capacity and Applications
Steel pallets are built to handle significant weight, with load capacities typically ranging from 1,000 kg (1 ton) to over 5,000 kg, depending on construction and reinforcement. They are used across a variety of industries:
- Heavy Industry: Supporting steel coils, machinery parts, or raw materials like ingots and castings.
- Automotive: Transporting engines, transmissions, or chassis components.
- Food and Beverage: Storing and moving bulk goods in hygienic environments (stainless steel variants).
- Warehousing: Facilitating high-density storage of palletized goods, often in racking systems.
- Chemicals: Handling drums, IBCs (intermediate bulk containers), or hazardous materials requiring robust support.
Key Benefits
- The load-bearing capacity is the strongest in the pallet.
- 100% environmentally friendly, recyclable and non wasteful.
- The surface is treated with anti slip treatment, and the surrounding area is treated with edge wrapping. The chassis is sturdy, with light overall weight and strong rigidity. Having stable packaging performance;
- Waterproof, moisture-proof, and rust proof; Compared to wooden pallets, they have environmental advantages (such as being prone to pests).
- Compared with plastic trays, it has advantages in strength, wear resistance, temperature resistance, and price.
- Especially when used for export, it does not require fumigation, high-temperature disinfection, or anti-corrosion treatment, and complies with international environmental regulations;
- Flexible (four directional insertion design invisibly improves the convenience of space utilization and operation, and its sturdy bottom plate design also conforms to the use of conveying and automatic packaging systems), etc.
