Load Capacity Choose a pallet with a load capacity that exceeds the weight of the goods it will carry.

Pallet Material: Select the appropriate pallet material based on the product type, environmental conditions, and transportation mode. Common materials include wood, plastic, and metal.

Pallet Size: Choose a pallet size that matches the dimensions of the goods and maximizes space utilization in warehouses and trucks.

Load Distribution: Distribute the weight of the cargo evenly across the pallet to prevent tipping or instability.

Stacking: Stack goods securely to prevent shifting during transportation. Use shrink wrap, banding straps, or other securing methods.

Center of Gravity: Ensure the center of gravity of the loaded pallet is within the base area of the pallet to maintain stability.

Forklift Operation: Use a forklift with appropriate lifting capacity and attachment type to handle pallets safely.

Storage Clearance: Store pallets on a level surface with adequate clearance from walls, sprinklers, and other equipment.

Damage Inspection: Regularly inspect pallets for damage, such as broken boards or cracked stringers, and replace damaged pallets promptly.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Use appropriate PPE, such as safety shoes, gloves, and high-visibility clothing, when handling pallets.

Lifting Technique: Maintain proper lifting posture and avoid overloading forklifts or exceeding their lifting capacity.

Signage and Clearances: Clearly mark pallet storage areas and ensure adequate clearance for forklift movement and personnel safety.
