A pallet is a flat transport vehicle that supports loads while being lifted by a forklift. Containers are often used during the loading of products and pallets are the best way to load containers. Most pallet types can carry more than one thousand kg. Therefore it is very convenient to transport large quantities of goods or cargo to be shipped.
Containers with rectangular and smooth, flat surfaces can be loaded quickly using pallets, forklifts of different sizes or other loading means. Therefore, the use of pallets is both economical and widespread. On flat ground the pallets can be moved with little force and are highly functional in both transport and storage.
Depending on the pallet type and size, the number of pallets that can be loaded into 20 fit or 40 fit containers is different. International container transport focuses on the use of two pallet types. These are the EU palette and the EUR2 palette. In the ISO 6780 standard published by the International Standards Organization (ISO), six pallet standards based on the basis of pallets have been determined.
Here are a few standards that are based on pallet and container testing by competent authorities:
TS ISO 6780 Flat pallets for intercontinental material handling - Basic dimensions and tolerances
TS EN 13698-1 Pallet production features - Part1: Construction characteristics of simple wooden pallets of 800mmx1200mm
TS EN 13698-2 ... Section 2: 1000 mm x 1200 mm construction features for flat wooden pallets
TS EN 13626 Packaging - Box pallets - General rules and test methods
TS ISO 668 Series 1 freight containers - Classification, dimensions and gross masses
TS ISO 1496-1 Series 1 Cargo containers - Identification and testing - 1. Section: General cargo containers for general purposes
TS ISO 1496-2 ... Section 2: Thermal containers
The application is received, the contract and then the product, vehicle and vehicles for which, what kind of service is determined exactly.
The necessary laboratory environment is prepared and the products, tools and instruments requested by the organization are tested by experts with the reference of the existing standards and measurements are made.
The data obtained as a result of meticulously completed tests, measurements and analyzes are evaluated and accredited approved reports are submitted by expert engineers.
