What does "palletizing" mean in international logistics, and what are the precautions?

The purpose and benefits of palletizing are: to reduce the number of loose goods, reduce the probability of loss of goods (after all, the probability of losing a pallet is much lower than the probability of losing a small box of goods), and after palletizing, the goods as a whole are stronger, and there is no need to worry about the deformation of goods.

 

Of course, after the goods are palletized, it will also reduce the space utilization rate when stacking goods. However, it can reduce the time it takes to yard goods. Because the goods can be put into the container directly with a forklift.

Palletizing operation steps

 

Step 1: First of all, the preparation of materials: pallets, stretch film, packing belts.

 

Step 2: The second is the worker yard goods: divide the yard goods into 4 flowers, 5 flowers, 6 flowers, etc., and make appropriate distribution according to the proportion of goods and pallets.

 

Step 3: The last is the packing belt (if the customer needs) wrapping: it can play a role in fixing the goods from falling apart, and can also play a role in moisture-proof, and the most important thing is to facilitate loading and unloading.

Precautions for palletizing

 

1. The label of the goods on the pallet should be facing outward, so that the barcode on each carton can be scanned without moving.

 

2. When the cargo pallet is used, the fork of the pallet should be in a place that is convenient for the turnover and handling of the equipment to cooperate with the equipment.

 

3. When stacking goods, it is not recommended to exceed the edge of the pallet, and try to choose a pallet with a size and type that is more suitable for this commodity;

 

4. Do not use pallets that are damaged or from unknown sources.

 

5. When there are multiple different categories of goods shipped on a pallet, pack the goods separately so that it is not easy to cause errors when receiving. It is advisable to put up a label indicating the different types of goods.

 

6. It is recommended to stack the heaviest goods at the bottom of the cargo pallet.

 

7. Don't let the carton extend beyond the edge of the pallet.

 

8. The pallet must be close to the standard height to allow for pallet voids and stacking opportunities.

 

9. Use the stretch film to palletize the carton to ensure that the stretch film completely covers the goods on the pallet, which can prevent the moving goods from falling during transportation, and ensure that the stacked pallets are stable in transportation.
