Shaving / Topping off Pallets
The primary structural interface which is used for keeping and handling unit loads is called a pallet. Pallets are a highly essential component of warehousing services. They act as the backbone of the warehousing system. They prevent damage to the product, act as cushions to forces that may cause breakage, and protect the goods in all storage facilities. Their presence ensures that all items reach their destination safely.
Adjusting the height of a pallet by removing the upper layer(s) of cartons could be performed at our facilities.
Pallet Storage Methods
Block Stacking: Pallets with unit loads are stacked one over the other and arranged in lanes on the warehouse floor.
Stacking Frames: Decks and posts are used to make the stacking frames. These can be moved from one place to another.
Double-Deep Pallet Rack: It is a variant of the single deep rack system with two pallets stacked together. It helps reduce the requirement for a large number of aisles.
Shaving / Topping of Pallets FAQs

Companies can draw an estimate for the number of cartons by dividing the surface area of a pallet by 1.5. This is determined considering palletisation begins at the origin. However, they can only decide a final number after actual palletisation takes place.
Since plastic pallets are made of one piece, they have higher durability than wooden pallets.
More than one person should carry a pallet considering its bulky nature. However, if one person is lifting it it must be lifted with the correct posture and stance from the corner. Further, forklifts are used to carry and transport pallets from one place to another inside a warehouse.
