What Is a Post Pallet?
A post pallet is synonymous with a folding pallet and is a simple rack that can be stacked.
There are two types: one with posts fixed at the four corners that can be folded for compactness, and one with detachable posts that can be removed and stacked for compactness. They can handle everything from storage to transportation with cargo loaded. They can be nested when not needed, so they require little space when not in use.
Since products can be loaded directly on the pallet, the pallet can be used in any shape, making it ideal for long materials such as architectural hardware (doors, sashes) and rolled items (textiles, films).
Uses of Post Pallets
Post Pallets are pallets that combine the functions of both a pallet and a rack. Since they can be moved while loaded, they can be used for everything from storage to transportation. By stacking them in multiple layers, products can be loaded and stored efficiently using space, and when not in use, the pallets can be reduced to a quarter of their original size by folding (or removing) the support columns. In addition, post pallets can be stacked on top of each other for compact storage.
The pallets can be used for any shape of cargo, and are especially suitable for long materials.
Features of Post Pallets
Post pallets have posts attached to their four corners. They are made of metal and often have a basic load capacity of 1000 kg (2,200 lb). Many products are durable, robust, and weather-resistant.
There are removable and fixed types of posts, and when not in use, they are stored by nesting (refers to a storage method in which another structure is inserted into some structure). The removable type is more neatly stacked on top of each other, while the fixed type eliminates the process of removing and installing the posts. This saves storage space and reduces delivery return costs.
Nesting racks are similar in function to post pallets. Nesting racks are useful when products are stored on regular pallets. However, nesting racks are less efficient when loading trucks and the advantage of post pallets is that they can handle everything from storage to transportation without moving goods.
