Pallet frames are used in many different ways: they are very popular in the manufacture of wooden boxes and an ideal solution for storing, packing and shipping products that need to be protected and secured.
Pallet frames have become so popular that more than 20,000,000 are produced worldwide each year.
In today's blog, we'll share with you some of the advantages of using pallet frames.
Advantages of pallet frames
Pallet frames on shelves in warehouse
Pallet frames are a convenient and economical option for those who need modern and efficient packaging solutions. They are ideal for heavy products of irregular shapes and are an excellent replacement for classic wooden crates. Due to their simple construction, they enable the production of a crate of any height.
Compatibility of pallet frames with EPAL pallets
Pallet frames usually consist of four or six planks and an appropriate number of hinges to ensure stable placement of the extension on the pallet and to fold the extension when not in use. They are produced in three dimensions: 600x800 mm, 1200x800 mm and 1200x1000 mm, which correspond to the dimensions of wooden pallets. The standard height of the extension is 200 mm. Pallet frames are simple and easy to install. However, when not in use, the pallet frames can be folded and stacked to save storage space.
Product protection
Pallet frames help hold goods that are loaded on pallets (mostly EPAL pallets). As some products placed on pallets can be unstable, adequate protection must be used to avoid damage during loading or storage. Pallet frames perform this function: after installation, they secure the load against falling or sliding sideways. Another advantage of pallet frames is that they can help your business reduce costs and save resources. With pallet frames, you can reduce the risk of damage to products during transport, which means that you'll reduce possible losses due to damaged products during delivery.
Space saving
Due to their unique design, wooden pallet frames can be an excellent space-saving tool for both warehouses and cargo transportation. By using pallet frames, you will be able to stack the load more efficiently on the pallet without worrying about it getting damaged. Unlike wooden crates, pallet frames can be folded away when not in use. Workers in the logistics and transport industry prefer frames because they are light, durable and portable. The usual dimensions of the extensions are: 600x800, 800x1200 and 1000x1200, and after folding, the pallet frames take up very little space, which reduces the costs of return transport.
Free access to products and easy storage
Various accessories are used to secure pallet frames during transport and storage. Among them are, for example, plastic corners that facilitate the stacking of pallets directly on the frames installed on the bottom pallet. They prevent the pallet standing directly on the collar, from slipping off it.
Saving resources
Another advantage of pallet frames is that they can help your business reduce costs and save resources. With frames, you can reduce the risk of damage to products during transport, which means that you will reduce possible losses due to damaged products during delivery.
