Steel pallets, also known as steel pallets, iron pallets, and metal pallets, are one of the important storage and transportation auxiliary equipment in modern industry. The main material is galvanized steel plate and steel, which are formed by special equipment, supported by various profiles, connected and strengthened by rivets, and then welded under C02 gas protection. Used for ground storage, shelf storage, cargo intermodal transportation, turnover and other ultra-light metal tray series. The integration of specialized professional anti-rust coatings ensures exceptional weather resistance, making them highly suitable for harsh environments such as cold chain logistics, automotive manufacturing, and chemical processing facilities. The solid chassis delivers a reassuringly rigid tactile feel, confirming its capability to handle turnover tasks seamlessly within automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS).
Engineered specifically for rigorous forklift operations, these steel pallets provide a highly efficient horizontal platform for cargo containment, stacking, and transportation. Serving as a foundational unit load device, they are indispensable for modern industrial warehousing, facilitating rapid cargo storage and retrieval. Manufactured from premium galvanized steel sheets, each unit undergoes precision forming through specialized industrial equipment. The architecture relies on various structural profiles that offer mutual support, mechanically reinforced by heavy-duty rivet connections and permanently fused via CO2 gas-shielded welding. This meticulous construction yields a cold, solid metallic finish that actively resists deformation under extreme stress, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding environments.
Functioning as a unitized container tool, the structure empowers the mechanized loading, unloading, and handling of heavy goods. The fundamental design features a single-layer deck supported underneath by strategically placed longitudinal beams, blocks, or legs. The minimum clearance height is strictly calibrated by the requirement to facilitate easy access for standard forklifts, hydraulic pallet trucks, and automated guided vehicles. To accommodate diverse enterprise requirements, comprehensive OEM and ODM customization services are available, allowing facility managers to precisely adjust dimensions, load-bearing tiers, and panel configurations to match specific operational workflows.

The "in-and-out forked" design refers to the specific approach and exit pathway engineered into the pallet's leg structure, distinguishing it from simple two-way designs:
Entry Clearance: Fork channels are dimensioned to allow forklift tines, hydraulic pallet trucks, or AGV forks to fully engage from either end without partial insertion risk.
Exit Stability: The channel geometry maintains consistent tine support throughout the withdrawal motion, reducing the chance of load tilt during retraction.
AGV Compatibility: Precise, repeatable channel dimensions are particularly important for Automated Guided Vehicles, which rely on consistent physical tolerances to execute pick-up and drop-off without manual correction.
This engineered entry/exit pathway makes the pallet particularly reliable in facilities transitioning from manual forklift operations to automated guided vehicle fleets.
