Pallets are an essential element in transport, since they are used to group, store and transport already packed goods, which is why they have been on the market for many years.
These platforms have a great international standardization since their size can be adapted to that of freight containers and other means of transport. The pallet is a load unit that allows safer and easier handling of the goods to be transported, as well as greater control and logistical efficiency.
Variety of Pallet
There is a wide variety of pallets on the market, made of different materials:
- Cardboard
- Metal
- Wood (they are the most used)
Different measures:
- European pallet (800 x 1200 mm)
- American pallet (1000 x 1200 mm)
These are chosen based on the merchandise to be transported, the destination and the means of transport used.
Easy Handling
The transport of palletized merchandise is a global logistics standard. This is mainly due to its ability to manipulate. A properly loaded, uniformly and well-secured pallet implies ease of movement, thus reducing loading, unloading and storage times. This is the main reason for its internationalization.
With these platforms, the goods travel safely and are less susceptible to damage, therefore greater security is achieved both in storage and in transport, which is why they are reusable. In addition, since the merchandise is raised above the ground, it prevents it from getting dirty or being altered by any type of substance.
Excellent control of the merchandise
The shipment of pallets allows greater control of the merchandise, since standard measurements are established to know at all times the quantity of products that are on each pallet. In addition, storing merchandise in this manner helps achieve faster warehouse control and counting.
Efficient transport
Por otro lado, trabajar con este tipo de embalaje es más sencillo para los operarios.
Los palets pueden introducirse en diferentes medios de transporte de manera rápida y sencilla, lo que permite su desplazamiento por tierra, mar o aire.
