Design for Palletization

Basics

• This page aims to go over how to design things for ease of Palletization

Principles

• Design things to be easily secured
  • Have holes for Metal Pallet Strapping
  • Have Holes for Elastic Cords or Rope
• Design things to fit nicely on a pallet
  • Mostly symmetrical
  • Only as large as one Pallet (Unless Double Wide Pallets exist)

Internal Links

• Design for Forklifting
  • Related Concept (Although can be done WITHOUT pallets
  • Mainly
    • Make holes for Forklift Forks
    • Have it be largely symmetrical and balanced
    • Have it rugged enough it being picked up and the forks scraping the channels doesn’t cause damage
• ERGOCOM / ERGINOMICON (the latter sounds more like some mythical text for better or for worse lol)
  • Like HAZCOM but for ergonomics/operating procedures
