This object is necessary to be able to transport different materials from one specific place to another, but all of this with the help of a forklift or forklift. Due to its great demand and the fact that there are many companies that increasingly need wooden pallets, today we are going to provide you with the most interesting curiosities about the pallet factories, from the characteristics of the pallet itself, to the curiosities of the pallet factory.
PALLET, PALLET OR PALLES?
We will start with one of the main doubts when we talk about them; your pronunciation. As most already know, the origin of the word is English, and it began as a pallet, referring to a wooden support that was used to transport goods from one place to another. Little by little it was distributed around the world until when we adopted it in Spain we began to call it a pallet. Nowadays, the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) only admits the word pallet, but even so, within commerce, the word pallet is often used more.
WHAT TYPE OF MATERIAL ARE THEY MANUFACTURED WITH?
Nowadays we can find all types of pallets, from pallets with the strangest wood to plastic or cardboard pallets, although most pallet factories and the most used are still wooden pallets, but what type of wood? Pallets are usually made of coniferous wood, such as larch, fir or pine. But pallets made of hardwood, such as birch, elm or oak, are also popular.
HOW MANY ENTRIES DOES A PALLET HAVE?
Generally in the pallet factories The pallets usually have two entrances to be grabbed by the cranes, although lately they are also being manufactured with 4 entrances, since this makes them more accessible for transporting them.
WHAT IS THE LIFE CYCLE OF A PALLET?
most of pallet factories, consider that the life cycles of pallets can be classified as follows:
- Non-refundable: This life cycle refers to the single use of the pallet, that is, when a pallet is simply used once and is not used again, without moving to another type of life cycle.
- Recovered: As you can guess from its name, this type of life cycle refers to a pallet that has previously been used but that after some time has returned to have new functions.
- Recycling, recovery or repair: Here we are talking about pallets that are already in poor condition that have been taken to be recycled and reshaped.
