For automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), plastic pallets reinforced with steel pipes are mandatory; they are essentially unusable without

I. Why are metal pipes essential for automated storage and retrieval systems?

Automated storage and recovery (AS/RS) systems place extremely high rigidity requirements on pallets, which pure plastic pallets cannot meet:

 **Load capacity is key:** AS/RS pallets are mostly stored across beams (supported at both ends, suspended in the middle).

**Pallets without metal pipes:** Under heavy loads, they will bend and collapse, potentially jamming stacker cranes and causing goods to fall.

**Pallets with metal pipes:** Extremely strong bending resistance, no deformation or collapse, ensuring safe operation.

**Extremely high dimensional accuracy requirements:** Stacker cranes, conveyors, and elevators have extremely strict requirements for length, width, flatness, and diagonal errors.

**Metal pipes:** They lock in dimensions, preventing deformation and misalignment over long-term use.

**Stable operation, no jamming:** If an AS/RS jams, the entire line stops, resulting in extremely high maintenance costs.

**Metal-plastic composite pallets:** Sufficient rigidity and stable center of gravity, suitable for high-speed stacker cranes. **Long service life:** Automated AS/RS typically operate 24 hours a day with extremely frequent turnover. **Pallets with metal pipes have a lifespan 2-3 times longer than those without.

II. Key parameters for pallets used in automated AS/RS (select directly from these):**

Structure: Built-in galvanized steel pipes (multiple reinforcements at the bottom)

Material: Brand new HDPE, anti-aging, low-temperature resistant

Size: Commonly used 1200×1000mm (depending on your pallet location)

Load Capacity:

Dynamic Load ≥ 1.0–1.5t

Rack Load ≥ 1.0t

Recommended Structure: Axle-shaped bottom / Grid-shaped bottom (facilitates four-way forklift access and conveyor passage)

Must be fully welded with steel pipes, no loosening or detachment

III. Simple Conclusion

Automated Warehouse Retrieval System (AS/RS) → Must use metal pipe plastic pallets

Pallets without metal pipes → Cannot be used on AS/RS racks, only for ground use
