Products Description
Steel Pallet for Warehouse Racking provides a reusable load platform for forklift handling, rack storage and industrial material movement. Compared with disposable packaging, its dimensions and supporting runners can be manufactured to maintain a more consistent interface with pallet racks, conveyors or automated handling equipment.
Unistar can configure the pallet deck, lower runners, fork-entry direction and finish according to the stored load and handling process. The current page does not publish a standard load capacity, so the working load must be confirmed for each design.
Main Structural Elements
Steel load-supporting deck
Longitudinal or transverse deck members
Reinforced perimeter frame
Lower runners or support feet
Forklift-entry openings
Rack-bearing surfaces
Optional anti-slip details
Galvanized or powder-coated finish subject to specification
Steel Pallet for Warehouse Racking Suitable Applications
| Application | Required Design Check |
|---|---|
| Selective pallet racking | Pallet runners must obtain proper beam support |
| Conveyor handling | Runner spacing and transfer points must match |
| AS/RS warehouse | Dimensions, deflection and tolerances require tighter control |
| Cold storage | Finish and temperature conditions must be confirmed |
| Manufacturing | Pallet must suit repeated forklift handling |
| Heavy components | Concentrated load positions must be identified |
| Export logistics | Weight, return cycle and destination requirements must be evaluated |
Steel, Wood and Plastic Pallet Considerations
| Factor | Steel Pallet | Wood Pallet | Plastic Pallet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dimensional consistency | Can be tightly controlled | May vary with condition and moisture | Generally consistent |
| Repeated industrial use | Suitable when correctly specified | Depends on damage and repair | Depends on pallet design |
| Rack interface | Custom runners can be designed | Must check runner position | Must check rackability |
| Corrosion or moisture | Requires suitable finish | May absorb moisture | Does not rust |
| Tare weight | Generally higher | Usually lower | Usually lower |
| Custom structural design | High flexibility | Moderate | Tooling may be required |
Parameters That Affect Performance

Runner quantity and direction
Fork-entry direction
Uniformly distributed load
Concentrated load
Dynamic load during forklift movement
Rack load when supported only on beams
Stacking load where applicable
Pallet deflection
Surface treatment
Dimensional tolerance for automation
