The meaning of logistics pallet and plastic pallet refers to "the horizontal platform device used for container loading, stacking, handling and transportation to place goods and products as unit load." Pallets are often called cards in practice. Similarly, pallets are a kind of containerization equipment. Now it has been widely used in all walks of life, especially in the field of transportation, warehousing and circulation. Pallets are considered to be one of the two key innovations in the logistics industry in the 20th century (the other is containers, especially sea containers). Blow molding pallet is usually used with forklift and hand push flat truck, which can greatly improve the logistics efficiency and reduce the loss and difference of goods, playing an immeasurable role in logistics.

托盤主要有兩大作用。用托盤實現貨物包裝的規范化、標準化和單元化，有利于保護貨物，大大減少貨損貨差。方便搬運，方便裝卸，減少貨物的搬動次數，極大提高搬運和裝卸效率。

Pallets have two main functions. Using pallets to realize the standardization, standardization and unitization of goods packaging is conducive to the protection of goods and greatly reduce the loss and difference of goods. Convenient handling, convenient loading and unloading, reduce the number of cargo moving, greatly improve the efficiency of handling and loading and unloading.

托盤的分類和類型，根據托盤的材質、叉車的入叉方式、單雙面用途以及托盤的結構等，托盤可以分為各種各樣的類型。按材質：木質類（原木托盤、熏蒸木托盤、膠合板托盤等）；金屬類（不銹鋼托盤、鋼鐵托盤等）；塑料類（質地較輕，使用方便）；塑木類（使用塑木符合材料制成，使用廣泛，）；以及紙板托盤、竹托盤、模壓托盤。按入叉方式：可分為雙向進叉型和四向進叉型。托盤的四個方向有兩個方向可以進叉的是雙向進叉型；四個方向都能進叉的是四向進叉型。

Pallet classification and types, according to the pallet material, forklift into the fork way, single and double-sided use and pallet structure, pallets can be divided into a variety of types. According to material: Wood (log pallet, fumigation pallet, plywood pallet, etc.); Metal (stainless steel tray, steel tray, etc.); Plastic (light texture, easy to use); Plastic wood (made of plastic wood materials, widely used, energy saving and environmental protection); And cardboard tray, bamboo tray, molded tray. According to the way into the fork: can be divided into two-way into the fork type and four-way into the fork type. There are two directions in the four directions of the tray, and the one that can enter the fork is bidirectional; The one that can enter the fork in four directions is the four-way entering fork type.

四向進叉的叫做，按單雙面用途：可分為單面使用托盤和雙面使用托盤。單面使用托盤是僅有一面可以用于堆碼貨物的托盤，雙面使用托盤是正反兩面（通常兩面完全一樣）——即任何一面均可以用來堆放貨物，并具有相同的承載能力的托盤，雙面使用托盤。可分為：可逆的、可翻轉的。按塑料托盤的結構：可分為平托盤、箱式托盤、柱式托盤、塑料托盤、滑板托盤等。只要一提到托盤一般都是指平托盤，因為平托盤使用范圍更廣，利用數量，通用性更好。

Four into the fork is called, according to single and double-sided use: can be divided into single-sided use of tray and double-sided use of tray. Single side pallet is a kind of pallet that only one side can be used for stacking goods, while double-sided pallet is a kind of pallet that both sides are exactly the same, that is to say, any side can be used for stacking goods and has the same bearing capacity. Can be divided into: reversible, reversible. According to the structure of the plastic tray: can be divided into flat tray, box tray, column tray, plastic tray, skateboard tray, etc. As long as the tray is mentioned, it generally refers to the flat tray, because the flat tray has the widest range of use, the largest number of use and the best versatility.

箱式pallet是在平托盤上安裝上平板狀、網狀構造物等制成的箱形設備，有可卸式、固定式、折疊式等。柱式pallet是在平托盤的四個角裝上立柱構成的。滑板托盤比較特殊，主要有塑料滑和紙滑托盤。除了以上所說的平托盤、箱式托盤、柱式托盤等，其他的還有裝運桶、罐等專用托盤。這些托盤構造比較特殊，使用與特定場合特定物品，一般人通常接觸不到。

Box pallet is a kind of box equipment which is made of flat plate and net structure installed on the flat tray. It has detachable type, fixed type, folding type and so on. The column pallet is composed of columns installed at the four corners of the flat tray. Skateboard tray is special, mainly plastic and paper slide tray. In addition to the above-mentioned flat pallet, box pallet, column pallet, etc., there are other special pallets such as shipping barrels and cans. These pallets are special in structure and can be used for special occasions and special items, which are usually inaccessible to ordinary people.

在以上三種都比較常見，為什么托盤的規格更長不超過1.2米？因為pallet往往是和集裝箱配合使用的。托盤的規格尺寸和集裝箱的規格尺寸要匹配，否則托盤貨就不好裝箱了，會浪費集裝箱空間。海運集裝箱的內徑寬度是2.35米，托盤是1.1米左右，這樣剛好可以并排裝兩個托盤，達到充分利用集裝箱空間的

In China, the above three kinds of pallets are common. Why is the longest specification of pallets less than 1.2m? Because pallets are often used with containers. The size of the pallet and the size of the container should match, otherwise the pallet goods will not be easy to be packed, and the container space will be wasted. The inner diameter width of the shipping container is 2.35 meters and the pallet is about 1.1 meters. In this way, two pallets can be installed side by side to make full use of the container space
