Rackable plastic pallets are engineered to meet rigorous warehouse demands, combining durability with precise load management. Below, we break down their technical specifications, compatible racking systems, and critical safety practices backed by industry standards.
1. Load Capacity
Static Load: Up to 6,000 kg (for floor storage).
Dynamic Load: 1,000–2,500 kg (for forklift handling).
Shelf Load: Max 1,500 kg (critical safety limit for racking systems).
2. Reinforcement Requirements
Steel Pipe Integration: Add 2–4 steel pipes (diameter ≥30 mm) to the base for loads exceeding 500 kg.
Suggestion:For shelving use, add at least 2 iron pipes to the pallet bottom for stability and longevity.
Purpose: Prevents sagging, ensures weight distribution, and complies with OSHA/FEM 10.2.02 standards.
1. 3-Runner Pallets
Design: 3 parallel support beams for balanced weight distribution.
Best For: Selective racking systems with moderate loads (500–1,200 kg).

2. 6-Runner Pallets
Design: 6 reinforced runners for heavy-duty applications.
Best For: Drive-in/push-back racks with loads up to 1,500 kg.

3. Double-Side Pallets
Design: Reversible grid or flat surfaces for multi-directional access.
Best For: Automated storage (AS/RS) and irregularly shaped goods.

Safety & Compliance Guidelines
Load Testing:
All pallets undergo 1-1.5 times dynamic load testing
Rack Alignment:
Ensure pallet edges align with rack beams to prevent overhang.
Inspection Checklist:
Monthly checks for cracks, warping, or pipe corrosion.
Industry-Specific Applications
Automotive: 6-runner pallets for engine blocks (1,200–1,500 kg).
Pharma: Double-side pallets with smooth surfaces for hygienic storage.
E-Commerce: 3-runner pallets for fast-moving inventory in selective racks.
Certifications: ISO 8611, FDA, and RoHS compliance6.
Customization: Add steel pipes, anti-slip coatings, or RFID tags.
Global Logistics:lead times are as short as 7 days with real-time tracking.
