Plastic pad is a common material tray provided. Although it can have a higher load-bearing capacity than wooden trays, it is inconvenient to maintain and has high maintenance costs. Therefore, during use, attention should be paid to avoiding damage as much as possible, which can save costs for the enterprise. What are the precautions for using plastic pads?


Plastic pads should be handled with care to avoid damage caused by uneven stress on the pallet; If palletizing is required, consider the load-bearing capacity of the bottom layer to avoid cargo tipping and damage caused by overloading and deformation of the pallet; If used, consideration should be given to whether the forklift size is appropriate, and the depth of the fork should be greater than 2/3 of the entire depth of the plastic pallet; When not in use, it can be stored in a cool place and not exposed to direct sunlight to prevent the plastic from aging and becoming brittle; The position and width of the fork should be selected correctly, and the width should be reasonable, otherwise the forklift cannot enter the fork and cause damage to the pallet; It is recommended that when placing goods on plastic pads, they should be placed horizontally on pallets and securely packaged in bags if necessary. Plastic pads that carry heavy objects should be placed on flat ground or surfaces of objects; The fork should be placed in the middle of the plastic pallet during work, and the angle can only be changed after it is stable during lifting.


When using plastic pad hooks, tilting backwards, or reversing, hydraulic and mechanical forklifts should try to maintain a constant speed up and down to avoid damaging the plastic base and collapsing goods due to sudden braking or turning. So, what everyone should know at this point is that when used with shelves, the plastic pad should be placed flat on the shelf crossbeam, and the length of the plastic container should be more than 50mm higher than the outer diameter of the shelf crossbeam Ensure the stability and safety of goods on the shelves. When a forklift forks plastic pallets and places them on the shelves, try to keep the forks level to avoid collisions between the forklift and the shelves or plastic pallets. Another important point is that it can be used in conjunction with hydraulic or mechanical forklifts during the flow of goods. The spacing between the fork teeth should match the outer edge of the plastic pallet fork as much as possible, and the depth of the fork teeth of the forklift should be greater than 2/3 of the entire depth to avoid breakage or damage in the middle of the plastic pad due to insufficient length. Based on the type of goods, the quality of the loaded goods, and their size, it is reasonable to determine the stacking method and transportation area utilization rate of the goods. More than 80%.
