The role of pallets in the process of airport cargo handling

Shijiazhuang Airport has a pallet at the bottom during handling, loading and unloading, and the goods are placed on the pallet stably. The worker uses a lithium pallet truck to insert the fork into the pallet, tow up the pallet and the goods, and move them to the target location.

The pallet is for the effective loading, unloading, transportation and storage of the items, and they are placed in a certain number of combinations on a certain shape of the table. The flat platen with this structure as the basic structure and the various forms of container equipment formed on the basis of this basic structure can be collectively referred to as trays.

The pallet can be used with various types of trucks and pallet stacker. The effective loading and unloading system formed by the joint use of pallet stacker and pallets greatly promotes the development of loading and unloading activities, greatly improves the level of loading and unloading mechanization, and makes loading and unloading bottlenecks in the transportation process for a long time. It can be solved or improved, so the appearance of pallets has also effectively promoted the improvement of the level of the whole logistics process.

The main features of the tray are as follows:

1. Mechanical operations can be used for both handling and entering and leaving the warehouse, reducing the number of stacking operations in the freight yard, thereby effectively improving transportation efficiency and shortening freight time.

2. Using pallets as the transport unit, the number of freight pieces becomes smaller, the volume and weight become larger, and the quantity of each pallet is equal, which is convenient for counting, tally and handover, and can reduce cargo damage and cargo accidents.

3. The self-weight is small, so the labor consumption for loading and unloading and transporting the pallet itself is less, and the ineffective transportation and loading and unloading are smaller than that of the container.

4. It is easy to return to empty, and it takes up little capacity when returning to empty. Since the cost of the pallet is not high and it is easy to substitute for each other, there is no need to have a fixed owner like a container, and it does not need to be empty like a container. Even return shipping is easier than a container.

5. The main disadvantages are: the organization of recycling and utilization is difficult, and it will waste part of the transportation capacity. The pallet itself also occupies a certain warehouse space, which is difficult to store in the open air, and requires supporting facilities such as warehouses; the applicable goods are limited, and it is not suitable for loading volume and weight. Large, variously shaped goods.
