Safety Measures when using Pallets

Pallets are the basic need for providing a sturdy foundation to a unit load used for handling and storing general, FDA, storage, chemical and export goods. The prevalence and use of pallets today has reached 1.8 billion across the United States.

However, when used with such frequency and enjoying such popularity, it is vital that safety measures be followed when handling and loading pallets to avoid a myriad of injuries ranging from puncture wounds to sprained ankles.

A&M Pallets—a leading and reliable name in the manufacturing, repairing and retrieval of wooden and chemical pallets in the Houston Texas area believes in sharing a few precautionary guidelines when handling pallets.

Primarily, when working in a warehouse where pallets are stacked or at a dock where goods are being handled, it is wise to use personal protective equipment such as gloves and safety shoes to avoid risk of puncture wounds, cuts or a pallet dropping on a foot.

Pallets should never be used as a man lift. Only engineered lift platforms operated by trained personnel should be used for transporting people to heights.

When pallets are positioned side by side in storage racks, workers usually step between or on pallets to access products at the back of the pallet. However, pallets are engineered to hold evenly distributed loads rather than weight focused under foot thus one should not stand on a pallet as it can cause breaking of a deck board or can result in a worker’s foot getting caught between deck boards. Depending upon design, some pallets of 9-leg design may be prone to tipping when empty. One way to avoid stepping on a pallet is to use a pick hook to reach product on the back of a pallet and pull it forward.

It is prudent to restrict the height of stacked pallets to 4 feet when stacking or unstacking them manually to facilitate easier pallet handling. A&M Pallets also recommends the use of mechanization which is specially designed to lift loads like a forklift or automated pallet dispenser to make handling pallets safer and efficient.

When manually moving a wood pallet off of a stack, it is a good idea to ensure that it will slide freely by tipping the pallet slightly to ensure that the pallet does not get caught on the pallet below by a protruding nail. It is better to carry out this task with assistance from a fellow worker. When lifting a pallet, keep vertical and close to the torso to maintain a close center of balance.

At A&M Pallets, we make sure that the work area is free of pallet debris and any broken pallet lumber is regularly swept up to avoid risk of sprained ankle or nail puncture wound. We exhort that you also set aside damaged or substandard pallets for repair or recycling.

A&M Pallets has been in the pallet management business in the Houston, Texas area for years and experience has taught us how cumbersome it is to make space for damaged and unused pallets. This is why A&M Pallets offers the facility to drop a trailer off at your facility, which you can use to store damaged or unneeded pallets. This simplifies pallet pick up, as the trailer facilitates wooden pallet disposal, wooden pallet recycling and wooden pallet repair. When full, the trailer will be picked up within 24 hours and we will pay you for all qualifying pallets that are removed from your facility.

The import and export industry cannot work without pallets and they are needed in every aspect of the supply chain; pallets are also indispensable for storage. Thus A&M Pallets sets an example of safe pallet management by following the basic precautionary measures when handling pallets and encouraging its clients to do the same so that risks to workers can be controlled.

Wooden Crates at A&M Pallets

Wooden crates are ideal to transport or store large, heavy or awkward items. Originally from the Latin word used for baskets, the wooden crate may be generally referred to as a wooden box, yet for a wooden container to be a crate, all six of its sides must be put in place to result in the rated strength of the container. The strength of a wooden box is rated based on the weight it can carry before the top, ends, and sides are installed, whereas the strength of a crate is rated with the top in place.

May it be of wood, plastic, metal or other materials—a crate implies a large and strong container. Yet, the term 'crate' used alone often implies one constructed of wood.

There are many reasons why people opt for wooden crates to store their goods. One is that the purchase price of wooden crates is lower than for most other material which may offset some of the higher costs for the increase in volume when transporting. Wooden crates are also easy to produce and acquire and demands much lower investments in the manufacturing process due to simpler design. They are generally easy and efficient to produce with customer specified measurements.

The manufacturing process of nailing the boards together in a wooden crate makes opening the crate a tough job thus, decreasing the risk of unauthorized access to the goods. The relatively thick walls of wooden crates increase stacking possibilities as wood often exhibits a high tolerance for vertical pressure if evenly distributed. From open crates using lumber for sheathing, closed wooden crates enclosed with material such as plywood or lumber boards to wooden crates with skids—A&M Pallets deals in quality wooden crates.

A&M Pallets custom designs crates keeping in view the transportation methods and storage conditions of your goods and cargo making sure that it is protected from the different stresses like shock and vibration the goods are likely to experience in the transport chain.

A&M’s dedication to manufacture, repair and retrieve wooden pallets and wooden crates in the Houston area will allow us to help you determine the best item for your specific shipping, storage and handling requirements.

With emphasis to detail, quality and care, each wooden crate at A&M Pallets is durable and reliable. These are the very qualities which make them reusable and thus, a financially sound, labour-saving and environmentally friendly option.
