Tips for Using and Maintaining Plastic Pallets
2025-11-06
The stacking of plastic palletized goods has the following requirements:
I. Within the load-bearing capacity
There are strict standards for the load capacity of pallets. When stacking and arranging pallets, you must take into account the load capacity of the bottommost plastic pallet and absolutely avoid overloading.
II. Neat and Standardized
When stacking different goods on pallets, it is essential to arrange them neatly and in compliance with their nature, specifications, and dimensions. If necessary, use strapping bands to secure the load. It is strictly prohibited to stack goods at an angle or in an irregular manner, as this could lead to safety hazards.

3. Proper Stacking
When stacking pallets, it’s important to leave adequate clearance between the pallets and surrounding elements such as walls, lighting fixtures, other stacks, ceilings, and columns—for example, maintain a 10-centimeter gap between stacks and ensure a minimum clearance of 50 centimeters from the ceiling. This facilitates easy inventory counting, efficient turnover, and proper storage. When stacking goods on pallets, it’s not recommended to exceed the edges of the pallet; whenever possible, choose pallets that are better suited in size and type to the specific products being stored.
In industrial applications, commonly used plastic turnover boxes require relatively large amounts of materials during the manufacturing process. Moreover, the performance characteristics of these plastic turnover boxes vary depending on the materials used. Next, our staff will introduce to you the advantages and disadvantages of plastic turnover boxes made from different materials.
Plastic turnover boxes made from polyethylene tend to be softer and highly resilient, with a relatively long service life. In contrast, those made from polypropylene are somewhat harder and less resilient, but they don't deform easily. Furthermore, if the plastic turnover box is manufactured using HDPE, it boasts a glossy appearance, high hardness and toughness, as well as excellent impact resistance—making it ideal for containing heavy products. However, its downside is that it’s prone to deformation and doesn’t perform well in cold temperatures. Additionally, the head of the Xiapu Tourism Company would like to point out that plastic turnover boxes produced from PP have superior shape retention and are resistant to deformation. They also exhibit good flexibility, impact resistance, and both cold- and heat-resistance. Yet, they lack glossiness and have neutral hardness.
If you want to achieve a good cleaning effect, you can use detergent to clean plastic turnover boxes—this will significantly improve cleaning efficiency. For specially designed plastic turnover boxes that feature dead corners and sharp angles, pay special attention during cleaning: make sure these areas don't become points where the detergent tends to accumulate.
Detergents can generally remove carbonized resin or colorants, but if the gaps are too narrow, the sprue gates can easily become clogged. Therefore, different plastic turnover boxes require different cleaning methods.
Some detergents can be used for both open-mold washing and closed-mold washing. The choice between the two depends on factors such as the resin type, mold design, and washing difficulty. Open-mold washing is suitable for molds with relatively small cavities, whereas closed-mold washing is more appropriate for molds with numerous cavities and generally delivers better results than open-mold washing.
Before cleaning plastic turnover boxes, we can raise their temperature—especially the gate temperature—this helps loosen dirt and debris inside the boxes and also enhances the fluidity of the detergent. In addition, it’s important to check whether the gate clearance of the plastic turnover box has specific requirements for the detergent; generally, detergents containing glass fiber fillers are not recommended.
Another point to note is that the quality of the detergent is also crucial. A high-quality detergent can enhance the cleaning effect, whereas a low-quality detergent not only reduces the cleaning effectiveness but can also damage the plastic turnover boxes. Therefore, the quality of the detergent is of utmost importance.
