The evolution of pallet materials has seen a transition from wood to metal. Wooden pallets, the "veterans" of the industry, have long been favored for their ease of manufacture and low cost. However, issues such as susceptibility to breakage, protruding nails, short lifespans, pest infestation, and mold growth have gradually become apparent.

 

Thanks to advancements in manufacturing technology and their superior load-bearing capacity, metal pallets are increasingly being adopted by factories. Resistant to corrosion, moisture, rust, pests, and mold-while also being eco-friendly and durable-metal pallets are steadily replacing wooden ones to become the market standard.

 

Though small in size, pallets play an indispensable role in modern logistics. By gaining a deeper understanding of the various types and characteristics of pallets, we can better select the right ones to meet the specific needs of different scenarios.
