1200 x 1000 Beverage Full Perimeter Plastic Pallet

Basic Product Specifications

Main Features of 1200 x 1000 Beverage Full Perimeter Plastic Pallet

1. Designed Around Beverage Packaging and Distribution

The 1200 × 1000 mm loading area provides a practical platform for bottled water, beverage cartons, plastic crates, canned drinks, and other grouped beverage products. Its rectangular footprint suits beverage plants and distribution centers already operating with 1200 × 1000 mm unit loads. Customers can provide their crate, carton, or bottle-layer dimensions to confirm the required pallet pattern before ordering.

2. Ventilated Grid Deck Supports Drainage and Cold-air Circulation

The open grid deck allows spilled liquids, wash water, and condensation to drain instead of remaining on the loading surface. Openings in the deck also allow cold air to circulate around beverage crates and cartons in temperature-controlled warehouses. This makes the pallet suitable for bottling plants, refrigerated distribution, cold rooms, and other operations where moisture and airflow must be managed.

3. Full-perimeter Base Stabilizes Heavy Beverage Loads

Bottled and canned products create dense unit loads with a relatively high total weight. The six-runner full-perimeter base distributes stacking pressure around a connected bottom frame rather than concentrating it on separate pallet feet. This improves contact with the load below and helps stabilize multi-layer beverage loads during floor storage, warehouse circulation, and loaded stacking.

4. Four-bar Reinforcement Adds Rack Storage Capability

The standard pallet supports a 1,000 kg dynamic load and a 4,000 kg static load. Adding approximately 7 kg of internal steel reinforcement increases dynamic capacity to 1,500 kg and static capacity to 6,000 kg. More importantly, the reinforced version provides a rated racking capacity of up to 1,000 kg, allowing beverage operators to use the pallet across transport, floor stacking, and compatible rack storage.

5. Quantified Container-loading Efficiency

The stackable structure allows approximately 150 empty pallets to be loaded into a 20FT container and approximately 367 pallets into a 40HC container. These reference quantities help international buyers estimate freight allocation, unit shipping costs, and warehouse receiving requirements before ordering. Final quantities depend on packaging, pallet stacking method, and container specifications.

Applications of 1200 x 1000 Beverage Full Perimeter Plastic Pallet

Bottled Water Production

The pallet is suitable for packaged bottled water moving between filling lines, wrapping stations, finished-goods warehouses, and distribution centers. The grid deck provides drainage in wet production areas, while the full-perimeter base supports stable loaded stacking.

Soft Drinks, Juice and Canned Beverages

Cartons, trays, crates, and shrink-wrapped beverage packs can be arranged across the 1200 × 1000 mm loading area. Optional anti-slip components can be evaluated when the unit load is exposed to frequent acceleration, braking, or conveyor transfer.

Brewery and Beverage Crate Circulation

The pallet can support returnable beer crates, packaged cans, and other reusable beverage packaging. Its moisture-resistant plastic construction is suitable for closed-loop circulation between beverage plants, warehouses, wholesalers, and retail distribution centers.

Cold Storage and Refrigerated Distribution

The grid deck allows air to move through the palletized load and provides drainage for condensation. The specified operating range is -40°C to 70°C, but actual capacity at low or high temperatures should be verified because plastic stiffness and impact behavior change with temperature.

Warehouse Rack Storage

The four-bar reinforced configuration can support up to 1,000 kg in compatible rack systems. Rack beam spacing, pallet orientation, load distribution, temperature, storage duration, and expected deflection must be checked before use.

Export and Regional Distribution

The pallet is suitable for international beverage shipments and regional distribution. As a plastic pallet, it does not require the ISPM 15 treatment applied to solid-wood packaging, although cargo-specific and destination-specific import requirements still apply.

Customization Options

Preface Plast provides beverage pallet configurations according to the product, load, warehouse, and handling system.

Available options include:

• HDPE or PP material selection

• Alternative deck and base structures

For beverage projects, customers should provide:

• Bottle, can, carton, or crate dimensions
• Total unit-load weight
• Layer arrangement
• Required stacking height
• Rack beam spacing
• Conveyor or handling equipment
• Warehouse temperature
• Cleaning requirements

FAQs

1. Why is a full-perimeter base suitable for beverage loads?

The connected six-runner base distributes the weight of bottled and canned products across a larger support area. This improves stability during floor storage, loaded stacking, and warehouse circulation.

2. What is the advantage of the grid deck?

The grid deck allows beverage spills, wash water, and condensation to drain through the pallet. It also supports airflow around beverage crates and cartons in refrigerated warehouses.

3. Can the pallet be used without steel bars?

Yes. Without steel bars, the 17.5 kg pallet supports a 1,000 kg dynamic load and a 4,000 kg static load, making it suitable for transport, floor storage, and general warehouse circulation.

4. Can this pallet be used on warehouse racks?

Yes, when fitted with four internal steel bars. The reinforced version supports up to 1,000 kg in compatible rack systems. Rack span, load distribution, pallet orientation, and storage temperature should be confirmed before use.

5. How many pallets fit in a shipping container?

The reference loading quantity is approximately 150 pallets in a 20FT container and 367 pallets in a 40HC container. Actual quantities may vary according to packaging and loading method.
