Steel Pallets for Automated High-Bay Warehouses: Proper Usage and Operational Guidelines

I. Cargo Loading Operations

1.  Cargo must be placed centrally and evenly, ensuring the center of gravity remains centered; off-center loading (placing the entire load to one side) and concentrated heavy pressure points are strictly prohibited.

2.  Cargo must be stacked neatly and uniformly, ensuring it does not extend beyond the edges of the pallet; this prevents scraping against racks or equipment and avoids jamming automated machinery.

3.  Heavy-duty cargo must be distributed across the entire surface of the pallet; single-point or localized stacking is prohibited to prevent the pallet from bending or deforming.

II. Automated Equipment Operations

1.  Pallets must strictly match the specifications of the automated equipment (stacker cranes, shuttle carts, AGVs, conveyor lines); pallets with incompatible dimensions are strictly prohibited from entering the automated system.

2.  Pallets must remain flat, free of deformation, broken welds, or warping; damaged pallets are strictly prohibited from entering the automated high-bay warehouse.

3.  During automated storage and retrieval operations, manual intervention—such as forceful pushing or pulling—is strictly prohibited to prevent equipment jams or malfunctions.

III. Forklift and Pallet Jack Operations

1.  The forks must be fully inserted into the pallet's entry slots and aligned centrally; inserting at an angle, forceful ramming, or violent impact with the pallet is strictly prohibited.

2.  Lifting and lowering operations must be performed smoothly and slowly; sudden rapid movements, dragging, or dropping of the pallet are strictly prohibited.

3.  When transporting loads, vehicles must proceed at a reduced speed to avoid collisions with racks, support columns, or walls.

IV. Rack Storage and Placement

1.  These pallets are designed exclusively for use with specialized high-bay warehouse racking systems; placing loads exceeding the rack's weight capacity is strictly prohibited.

2.  The pallet must be placed fully and securely onto the rack's support beams, ensuring it is properly seated without any overhang or suspended sections.

3.  Pallets exhibiting deformation, cracks, or damage to weld points are strictly prohibited from being placed on high-level storage racks. 

V. Stacking and Idle Storage

1. Empty pallets should be stacked neatly and aligned precisely, with a reasonable number of layers to avoid excessive height or haphazard stacking.

2. Idle pallets should be stored flat in a dry area to prevent exposure to rain or standing water, which can lead to rust.

VI. Daily Maintenance and Prohibitions

1. Regular Inspection: Periodically check welds, deck panels, bottom beams, and look for deformation, paint chipping, or rust. Any damaged units should be repaired or retired immediately.

2. Prohibitions: Do not use beyond rated load capacity; avoid rough handling; do not perform unauthorized cutting or structural modifications; avoid prolonged immersion in strong acids or alkalis.

3. Promptly clear debris and oil stains from the pallet surface to ensure smooth operation within automated conveying systems.
