托盘购买指南:如何为您的企业选择合适的托盘

有效的物料搬运是运输和仓储业务的重要组成部分。这个庞大的行业满足了美国和国际从 A 点到 B 点的货物运输需求。以安全和合规的方式最大化产品流,同时保持成本效益至关重要。这个过程的核心是低托盘。

如果您从事物料搬运业务,您就会知道托盘的重要性。它不仅仅是有现成的托盘库存。您需要不断访问适合您业务的托盘。那可能是已经存在了一个世纪的好旧木托盘。或者,您可能需要更现代的由塑料、铝、钢、金属丝网或压木制成的托盘。

物料搬运市场上有如此多不同的托盘材料、形状和尺寸可供选择,因此选择合适的托盘似乎势不可挡。但是,它不一定是。托盘就像任何其他购买一样。您需要清楚地了解您的目的,并决定您的最佳投资回报究竟是什么。

这份购买托盘的指南将帮助您学习基础知识——可以说是 Pallet Buying 101。它不仅引导您在哪里购买新托盘。本托盘买家指南清楚地描述了当今新托盘市场上的可用产品。如果不提及隔板——另一种运输产品的方式,任何托盘购买指南都是不完整的。

不同类型的托盘

他们说需求是发明之母。也就是说,当运输方式发生变化时,一些需要为 20 世纪材料处理提供完美解决方案的聪明的发明家开发了第一个现代托盘。船舱和铁路车辆中使用的旧板条箱和桶让位于平面运输,如半拖车和货物集装箱。托盘发明也与叉车设计密切相关。这一切都促成了您现在随处可见的现代通用托盘运输方式。

美国林务局估计,如今美国有超过 20 亿个可使用的托盘。这几乎是每个美国公民的六个托盘。绝大多数托盘是木结构的。只有大约四分之一的美国制造商使用塑料和金属等替代材料。那是因为太多托盘处于开环循环中。这意味着一旦托盘离开您的设施,您可能再也看不到它了。您将失去投资。

木托盘仍然是最便宜的一次性或短期托盘解决方案。但是,它们的使用寿命有限,并且在清洁、安全运输方面的应用也很有限。在闭环服务中投资木材以外的托盘材料更有意义。这就是您的托盘存放在您的设施内的地方,或者它的退货是有保证的。

由塑料和金属制成的托盘在各方面都远远优于木托盘。如果您要购买托盘,那么远离木材并寻求其他托盘材料选择是很有意义的。以下是一些可能非常适合您的站点的不同托盘类型:

购买正确托盘的本指南的一部分包括关于滑纸对您的材料处理过程的作用的讨论。除了告诉您在哪里购买新托盘外,您还可以更好地了解标准托盘化的替代方案。但首先,让我们深入了解如何为您的企业选择合适的托盘。

为您的企业选择合适的托盘


选择托盘时最重要的考虑因素是它们的主要用途。这可能看起来很简单,但重要的是要知道没有通用托盘之类的东西。有太多的应用程序无法实现一刀切的解决方案。但是,会有适合您情况的正确选择。

托盘在结构上设计用于提升和移动。这可以装载到容器中或堆放在仓库中。选择合适的托盘首先要确定其限制,包括您将要运输的材料以及您的托盘需要多耐用。

您选择的托盘结构非常重要。它必须与您的负载、产品和设施兼容。现在,让我们看看托盘选择的注意事项,以确保您订购正确的产品。

塑料托盘


塑料正在对托盘业务产生巨大影响。根据 Logistics Management 的调查,37% 的美国物料搬运企业使用某种形式的塑料托盘。事实上,对塑料托盘的需求如此之高,以至于 Cherry's Industrial Equipment 提供了十几个库存塑料托盘。我们还根据您的个性化规格提供定制设计的塑料托盘。

越来越多的塑料托盘正在取代木托盘库存。这是因为塑料与木材相比具有巨大的优势。考虑一下您在为托盘库存购买塑料时获得的这些出色好处。

如果您正在寻找满足安全性、耐用性和可靠性测试的托盘,塑料托盘可为您提供真正的价值。购买塑料托盘时,您的投资回报率非常高,尤其是在闭环环境中。今天就让 Cherry 的工业设备帮助您改用塑料。

浏览 Cherry’s Industrial 网站并查看我们广泛的塑料托盘选择。从可堆叠、可嵌套和可机架的塑料托盘中进行选择。请务必致电我们知识渊博的服务人员之一,指导您找到最适合您业务的产品。拨打 800-350-0011 联系我们,也可以在线联系我们。

铝托盘


如果您正在寻找具有良好结构完整性的轻型托盘解决方案,我们建议您进行调查铝托盘。许多像您这样的公司发现铝是制作托盘的理想材料。铝托盘的生命周期是无限的——只要您妥善保养它们。这会带来无法估量的投资回报,这对您的底线有很大影响。

Cherry 的工业设备提供使用 6005/T5 回火铝型材制成的托盘。这些轻巧但坚固的结构是用户友好的。它们非常适合重度使用的严苛环境。想想为您的托盘选择铝材的这些有吸引力的好处。

如果您在库存中看到铝托盘的位置,请查看 Cherry's Industrial 的供应。我们还可以定制您的铝托盘。不要犹豫与我们联系并谈论您的需求。我们可以通过 800-350-0011 与我们联系,或通过我们的在线联系表向我们发送消息。

出口托盘

如果您的国际业务需要在美国境外发货,您将了解您的托盘必须符合的规定。您需要具有成本效益且耐用的托盘,以提供符合国际规则的安全、高效运输。这来自于选择 Cherry's Industrial 的出口托盘。

出口托盘是单向运输基地。他们不打算通过闭环系统返回。它们必须坚固、轻便、便宜且符合外国法规。

Most countries enforce ISPM15 regulations, which primarily specify restrictions on wood pallets that must get debarked and treated before leaving America. These measures are essential to prevent cross-contamination between countries.

Cherry’s Industrial export pallets include plastic, wire mesh and some wood-fiber options. Yes, we deal with wood. It’s not just regular wood, though. We supply Litco INCA presswood pallets, which are wood-fiber composites. Litco export pallets are light, inexpensive and meet all ISPM requirements. Sizes range from U.S. standard 48” x 42” down to compact 24” x 40” export models. They include:

To start your export pallet selection process, take time to check out our export pallet line on the Cherry’s Industrial website. Review the individual product descriptions. Then, call us at 800-350-0011 and we’ll be glad to help you choose the right export pallet for your company's needs. Remember, you can also reach us via our online contact form.

Presswood Pallets

Depending on your situation presswood pallets just might be your best choice. Presswood is a recyclable wood byproduct designed for limited use. If your pallet needs include shipping product out of the country or shipping domestically with no expectation of receiving your pallet in return (open loop) then presswood might be the way to go. Here’s how you’ll benefit from Cherry’s Industrial's selection of presswood pallets.

Cherry’s Industrial Equipment carries an extensive line of top-quality presswood pallets. We offer you superior support and service. For more on using presswood pallets, call our knowledgeable product specialists at 800-350-0011, or drop us a note on our online contact form.

Wire Mesh Pallets

Have you thought about using wire mesh pallets? They’re the answer when you need open-space platforms that vent and drain weeds and debris. Wire mesh pallets are also ideal for clean warehouse environments, such as those in the food and beverage industry.

Think about the benefits you’ll get by adding wire mesh pallets to your workplace. Standard pallets weigh 50 pounds. They’re not lightweight, but they’re exceptionally strong. Wire mesh 48” x 48” pallets have a 3,000-pound dynamic capacity and a 4,000-pound stacking capacity. That’ll handle many applications.

Cherry’s Industrial's wire mesh pallets use high-quality two-gauge wire and have galvanized, welded frames. They are very robust in design and construction. Besides an indefinite lifecycle, you’ll get these features with wire mesh pallets:

If you see a need for wire mesh pallets, call Cherry’s Industrial at 800-350-0011 or contact us online if that is more convenient. Our service personnel will help you find the exact wire mesh pallet fit to handle all of your material-handling needs.

AS/RS Pallets

What are AS/RS pallets, you ask? That’s the acronym for popular automatic storage and retrieval system pallets you’ll see in automated warehouse distribution systems. Due to the nature of these systems, they require specialty pallets designed for compatibility.

Technically, AS/RS pallets are captive skids or slave boards. They replace regular pallets used in high-bay storage. All AS/RS pallets are uniform in size and materials. Most are ORBIS 40” x 48” plastic composition pallets that are ideal for automated conveyors. If you’re using automated shipping, this is what you’ll get from Cherry’s AS/RS pallets:

For more on AS/RS specialty pallets, call us for a no-obligation quote. Cherry’s Industrial's toll-free number is 800-350-0011, or don’t hesitate to contact us online.

Chemical Pallets

Often, traditional pallets aren’t suitable for handling special materials like transporting and storing certain chemical types. Chemicals can be caustic and corrosive. They can eat away at conventional pallets, dissolving and destroying their structures. If any part of your material handling tasks includes chemicals, you’ll want to protect your staff and facility with specialized chemical pallets.

Cherry’s Industrial Equipment supplies top-quality chemical pallets molded from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which is chemically resistant and withstands harsh exposure without affecting structural integrity. HDPE chemical pallets globally transport barrels, bags and octabins containing powdered and granular chemical materials.

Our chemical pallets (CPs) use USDA-approved recycled plastics. We offer standard and custom sized CPs in two- and four-way designs. These have easy forklift and pallet truck access. Different chemical pallet styles include:

Every chemical pallet is designed for 2,000- to 3,000-pound load capacity to give you exceptional strength with proportionately light weight. Considering your pallets are impervious to chemical damage, you know investing in Cherry’s Industrial products gives you the best possible return on your investment.

For excellent customer service and more information on chemical pallets, contact a Cherry’s Industrial Equipment representative today. You can use our online form or call us at 800-350-0011.

Distribution Pallets

If you operate a full-scale distribution center, you’ll appreciate a reliable and reusable pallet supply where sanitation and storage are top priorities. Heavy-duty warehouses like retail, wholesale and grocery supply centers need pallets that accommodate heavy loads. They also need their pallets to be cost-effective and durable. Return on investment should be at the top of your mind.

Distribution pallets maximize your floor space. To do that, you need to minimize the amount of space pallets take up. This isn’t a play on words. It’s a fact facing every large distribution facility, especially in closed-loop distribution, where pallets play a huge role in making productivity efficient.

Top-performing distribution pallets are foam-molded structural plastics, making them light and extremely durable. Most material handling managers prefer nestable distribution pallets because they save so much space when not in use. Here are some returns you’ll get when choosing Cherry’s HDPE plastic distribution pallets.

Cherry’s Industrial Equipment strongly supports any cause that helps our environment. Offering recycled distribution pallets is one small part of the big picture. Call a Cherry’s representative today and begin a dialogue on distribution pallets and other material-handling supplies. We can be reached at 800-350-0011. Or, feel free to contact Cherry’s online.

Custom Pallets

Although Cherry’s Industrial Equipment carries a large stock of the nation’s leading pallets, you might find yourself in a situation where our stock plastic, aluminum, presswood or wire mesh pallets won’t quite fit.不用担心。 Cherry’s Industrial is fully equipped to work with you on custom pallet designs. We will review the material and specifications your application requires and find the best custom option available.

Custom pallet solutions are very popular in the material-handling market. We’ve worked with many distribution centers and supply warehouses to develop exactly what people like you require. All our custom pallet designs consider the basics you’d expect in our stock pallet selection. That includes:

Cherry’s Industrial offers endless possibilities in providing you with custom pallets. We do the same with other material-handling equipment like pallet trucks , pallet stackers, slip sheets and lift tables. Please take time to explore our other pallet and freezer spacer related products. We’re always available for a call at 800-350-0011 or through our online form.

Choosing the Right Slip Sheets for Your Business

Slip sheets are an interesting and effective alternative to using regular pallet designs. These innovative material-handling devices replace conventional pallets where forklift tines get inserted into bulky pallet channels. Instead, slip sheets are thin yet robust plastic sheets set underneath loads, allowing them to slip onto specially designed push-pull forklift attachments.

Plastic slip sheets extend slightly beyond the load’s footprint, leaving a flexible plastic “lip” or tab protruding several inches outward. A push-pull forklift attachment mechanically grasps the lip, effectively pulling or dragging the slip sheet with its load onto the tines or forks. To unload a slip sheet package, the forklift uses its extension to push the load off to its placement.

Slip sheets can completely alleviate the need for conventional pallets in the right circumstances. Not only do slip sheets reduce pallet height, they significantly reduce storage space when inactive. Slip sheets are also considerably cheaper than all other pallets. That makes them attractive for budget-conscious managers like yourself.

Cherry’s Industrial Equipment stocks the best die-cut, coextruded plastic slip sheets available on the American market. They’re particularly popular in the air freight industry, where every pound and inch of space matters. Here are the main situations where you’d use slip sheets:

Cherry’s Industrial Equipment supplies stock-sized plastic slip sheets that save space, offer flexibility, resist wear and store tightly. We also produce custom-sized slip sheets just right for your individual jobs. Call Cherry’s Industrial today at 800-350-0011 and talk to a representative about what slip sheets are and what they can do to make your material handling less expensive and more efficient. You can also drop us a note online.

Plastic Slip Sheets


If you need to reduce weight, bulk and costs, but still require product protection in shipping, plastic slip sheets may be the perfect solution. Plastic sheets are tough, but reduce friction between load surfaces. Packages set on slip sheets get slid along the forks, rather than being immediately lifted. To ensure long-lasting value, Cherry’s slip sheets use the best HDPE plastic that is extremely durable, tear-resistant and lightweight.

We stock 22 different slip sheet sizes to cover almost every material-handling situation you’ll likely encounter. With Cherry's Industrial plastic slip sheets, you get the benefits of:

Cherry’s Industrial slip sheets give you optional features like four-tab lips, opposite-edge, adjacent-edge and single-edge construction. They’re resistant to moisture and bacteria. Our slip sheets are also fully recyclable. However, if that doesn’t fulfill what you’re looking for, we can always customize your plastic slip sheets.

Custom Slip Sheets

One of the many benefits of building a partnership with Cherry’s Industrial Equipment is our ability to customize products for you. We realize every company has unique needs and can’t always find stock items to do exactly what they need. If that’s the case, call us and we’ll work with you to find the product that is custom suited for your application.

We always start with the best HDPE slip sheet material. Strong base materials are absolutely essential to deliver a long-lasting slip sheet that’s going to withstand years of active use. Once we know your design parameters, we narrow down other features like:

Thickness is highly important to ensuring slip sheet strength. We carry HDPE sheets in various gauges, but have the ability to produce any necessary size. Shapes are simple to replicate or expand from. Texture and score provide the right friction elements and make sure you have the safest slip sheet design. And, for a professional image, we can custom-design your logo and company information right into the slip sheet surface.

If there’s anything else you can think of for making a custom slip sheet, please call us. Cherry’s Industrial Equipment's team offers the best help and customer service possible. Reach us at 800-350-0011 or fill out our online contact form. And, make sure to ask us about freezer spacers!

Benefits of Plastic &Metal Pallets Over Wood Alternatives

Without question, plastic and metal pallets have a lot of benefits compared to wood alternatives. Wooden pallets still have their place, and they’re not going away anytime soon. However, for the best return on your long-term investment, you certainly have to weigh the benefits.

Wood pallets are attractive because of their price point. For many applications, wood pallets serve their purpose and get by nicely. But for market segments requiring higher standards than wood can deliver, it’s clear plastic and metal are first-choice products. Consider these benefits you get with plastic and metal that you can’t get with ordinary wood pallets.

Cherry’s Industrial Equipment is an American leader in supplying plastic and metal pallets. Our staff knows the enormous advantages you get when you choose alternatives to wooden pallets. Call Cherry’s Industrial today and have a frank pallet benefit discussion. We’re at 800-350-0011, or you can reach us through our online form.

Benefits of Custom Pallets

If you have been searching all that is currently available in the market and still cannot find a perfect pallet solution, remember custom pallets are available. That’s part of Cherry’s Industrial full customer service. Together, we work to assess your needs and build you the right custom pallet choice. You get these great benefits from ordering custom pallets:
