Issues and Risks in Loading Specially Shaped Cargo

When cylindrical drums are loaded onto standard square pallets, dead space is created at the four corners. This not only reduces transport efficiency but also increases the risk of cargo collapse inside containers and collisions between drums.

In addition, conventional wooden pallets carry the risk of mold and pest occurrence due to humidity, which is characteristic of Southeast Asia, making them difficult to operate in industries with strict hygiene management requirements. Rising wood prices and unstable procurement caused by the recent wood shock have also become major issues in corporate cost management.

Design Flexibility with Particle Pallets (3RD Pallet)

Particle pallets (3RD Pallet) use processed wood materials formed with heat and pressure. Unlike natural wood, the material is uniform, enabling flexible shape processing based on 3D design.

In addition to square shapes, pallets can be designed in a “just-size” form that matches the bottom shape of the product, such as circular or polygonal shapes. This helps reduce the use of unnecessary cushioning materials and contributes to lower packaging costs. Since processed wood does not require fumigation for export, it can also simplify administrative procedures and shorten lead time.

Optimizing Loading Efficiency with Mitsuba Pallet

The Mitsuba Pallet, designed specifically for drums, is a product in which the outer edge of the pallet is cut in a curved shape to match the shape of the drums. This shape allows drums to be arranged without gaps, like a jigsaw puzzle, maximizing loading efficiency inside containers.

Compared with self-owned wooden pallets or plastic pallets, it is lightweight while maintaining a dynamic load capacity of 2 tons, helping to reduce on-site workload while supporting safe transportation.

Support System by JPR (Asia) Co., Ltd.

JPR (Asia) Co., Ltd. designs and sells particle pallets for manufacturing sites in Thailand according to product shapes and loading conditions. Based on loading simulations, the company proposes optimal pallet shapes to increase container filling rates.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ) when ordering special shapes such as the Mitsuba Pallet?

A: The minimum lot quantity varies depending on specifications, size, and processing method. JPR (Asia) also accepts consultations for supply from small lots, and consideration from the prototype stage is also possible. Detailed conditions will be proposed after confirming the application and specifications.

Q: Are particle pallets compatible with forklift handling?

A: Yes. They can be handled with general forklifts. The placement and thickness of the stringers are optimally designed according to the product weight.

Q: Can they be stored outdoors in rainy weather?

A: Since processed wood is used, water resistance is moderate. To maintain quality, indoor storage or storage under a roof is generally recommended.

Glossary (Keywords)

Particle Pallet (3RD Pallet): A pallet manufactured from processed wood material made by solidifying wood chips. It offers high precision and is suitable for complex shape processing.

Mitsuba Pallet: A specially shaped pallet with its outer edge cut to match the arrangement of drums.

No fumigation required: Because it is processed wood, it is exempt from plant quarantine fumigation requirements during export.
