2.2 Pallets quality A pallet is not exchangeable if it shows one or more of the following faults.

Further characteristics of defective load carriers:

The carrying capacity is not assured anymore (brittle or rotten wood, strong split-offs).

Soiling in a way that loaded goods are / could be contaminated.

Several blocks show strong split-offs.

Unauthorized components are obvious (e.g. thin planks, thin blocks).

A bottom or top plank is split off in such a way that more than one nail- or screw shank is visible.

The EUR branding on the right

as well as the branding of a

railway company or the EPAL-

Logo on the left are missing

and there is no repair sign of a

certified pallet repair company.

A plank is missing.

A block is missing or split in

such a way that more than

one nail is visible.

A plank is broken

transversely or

diagonally.

More than two floor or side

planks are split in such a way

that more than one nail- or

screw shank is visible.

3. Palletizing The arrangement of packaging units is intended to guarantee the highest possible use of the pallet´s surface. The basic pallet dimension of 120x80 cm must not be exceeded (including corner protection profiles, if applicable). Overhangs cause failures in the warehouse automation. This applies to bagged goods in the same way.

4. Height and weight of loading units The load height must not exceed the permitted dimensions of the warehouse (max. 2,10 m). The whole loading unit including the euro pallet must not exceed the maximum weight of 1000 kg.

max. weight 1000 kg

5. Modular despatch packagings Modular packagings have standardized dimensions. The matching is coordinated in such a way that differently sized packages can be combined into a larger package piece.

The layer pattern for the assembly of a euro pallet is based on the modular measurement (ISO 3394). The basic measurement of modular packages is 400 x 600 mm. The sizes can be split in undersizes and multi modules.

Does the transport packaging meet the requirements of modularity? This means 600 x 400 mm or thereof divisible sizes.

The transport packaging has one of the following measurements: 1200 x 800 mm 800 x 600 mm 600 x 400 mm 600 x 200 mm 600 x 100 mm 400 x 300 mm 400 x 200 mm 400 x 150 mm 300 x 200 mm 300 x 100 mm 200 x 200 mm 200 x 150 mm etc.

6. Composite stacking Composite stacking is preferable to the use of intermediate layers or the use of adhesive technology.

Composite stacking provides a high degree of stability even in in-house transport without the use of additional cargo securing.

Shifted stacking of the packages results in a stability similar to building walls.

Composite stacking also applies to bagged goods. Here is an example for the correct composite stacking of bags.

7. Appropriate stretching

7.1 Characteristics of the stretch film The stretch film has a non-adhesive surface on the outside. The inside has an adhesive surface. The adhesive surface must be attached towards the goods, the non-sticking exterior serves to prevent pallets from mutual adherence, so the handling is easier.

Outside: non adhesive

surface

Inside: adhesive

surface

The stretch film fixes the goods to the

load carrier, but only to the two upper

wooden layers (deck boards + upper

cross boards).The area between the

blocks must remain free from stretch

film.

Every layer of the packages has to be

fixed with stretch film.

DO NOT knot the stretch film to the

pallet-blocks. The width of the pallet

can be distorted by the knot, which

can cause errors in the storing process.

Loose stretch film ends have to be

fixed. Protruding “stretch film tails”

must be avoided.

8. Winding tightening The winding tightening determines how stable the goods are held together on the pallet. In the case of manual winding take care not to wrap too tightly so as not to damage the goods. With automated winding, using a winding system, the correct settings have to be ensured. Monthly checks are recommended.

9. Load securing

9.1 Avoidance of personal injury Non-secured or poorly secured cargoes pose a safety risk regardless of weight. The ultimate goal of securing the cargo is the safety of all road users and the avoidance of unnecessary human suffering.

9.2 Avoidance of economic damages Damaged cargoes can harm the company's reputation. Damage to the vehicle requires repairs and causes costs. Load securing keeps your reputation and is economically worthwhile.

9.3 Legal regulations StVO (Straßenverkehrs-Ordnung) The load, including cargo securing and loading devices, must be stowed and secured in such a way that they do not slip, tilt, roll, fall or create avoidable noise even in the event of full braking or sudden evasion. The accepted rules of technology must be observed. Careful load securing can protect you from unpleasant consequences such as fines.

10. Common methods of load securing

There are three methods for transporting everyday goods, the knowledge of which saves a great deal

of effort. The methods can also be used in combination.

10.1 Form fitting load securing In the case of form-fitting load securing, the cargo parts are supported against each other, opposite the walls of the loading bridge or even opposite superstructures on the loading bridge without interstices. The form-fitting load securing is particularly easy and quick to apply and therefore preferable.

Since the possible forces are primarily absorbed via the walls, those must be appropriately sized.

10.2 Lashing down (force-fitting load securing) By lashing down, also known as „force-fitting load securing“, the contact pressure of the truckload on the floor of the bridge is increased. This method increases the friction power which counteracts slipping.

10.3 Direct lashing For direct lashing you need at least 4 load securing tools which absorb the forces directly. This type of lashing is often used on heavy construction equipment with chains or heaviest belts.
