Which is suitable for use in cold storage, steel pallets or plastic pallets?

At present, the application of steel pallets is not only for basic forklift turnover or warehouse cushioning, but also for the classification and management of goods, saving warehouse turnover space and reducing costs. The application industry of plastic pallets has gradually expanded to the transportation and storage of drugs, food storage, and other instruments with technological innovation; Steel/plastic pallets have gradually become the mainstream trend in cold chain logistics.
Everyone knows that in cold chain logistics, due to the harsh temperature conditions, the material performance requirements for pallets are relatively high. Good load-bearing capacity and anti freezing and low-temperature resistance are also essential.
When using plastic pallets in cold storage, attention should be paid to the issue of load capacity. Generally, plastic pallets with a slightly higher load capacity than the actual load capacity can be selected because the load capacity of plastic pallets is also affected by low temperature environments. Therefore, in order to ensure stability in use, for example, if the actual weight of goods is 500kg, pallets with a load capacity of 500kg or more should be selected.
Steel pallets are better for use in cold storage than plastic pallets! One reason is that it has better thermal conductivity, which can quickly freeze goods in cold storage. Secondly, it has a longer lifespan and is easier to clean. Thirdly, steel pallets have good environmental properties, and all pallets are recyclable, reducing actual usage costs.
