How to Choose the Right Pallet Weight Load Capacity
When our customers come to us, they are already very knowledgeable about their business. However, most don’t have time for the intricacies of choosing the right pallet. That’s when they call us, and here is why!
There are many elements playing into picking the best pallet, including choosing the correct weight load capacity. This can be a particularly trying aspect to work out, as you have to calculate the approximate amounts of what you are shipping, the distance the load will travel, and much more.
We help you consider whether the load will be static, dynamic, and/or racked. This will inform you of what materials and pallet types you need to be pursuing. For instance, if you are looking at a one-way export, you may look at nestable pallets with a lighter load capacity on a rack.
We can discuss with you, if needed, that not all pallets can be racked. However, if your company has rack decking, you likely would not need a heavy duty pallet, as long as your rack can take the weight of your load. This also can be a gateway to lowering some costs on the pallets you purchase.
We help our customers to be forward-thinking and factor in how the pallets will be used once they leave your warehouse. If you are shipping them out to a customer for their use, it is important to know how it will be used from that point on. Communication with your own clients (if you are a manufacturer) will play a role in what pallets you use in your own business with them.
At the end of the day, we will make sure the pallets you choose are able to safely and efficiently distribute your total weight load evenly. You do not want pallets bowing in the center and/or breaking at any point during distribution, transport, or storage.
