Case studies of warehouse wooden pallet packaging

Case of warehouse wooden pallet packaging: Standardized Loading Optimization for Home Appliance enterprises

A medium-sized home appliance manufacturer once faced problems such as low product delivery efficiency and a high rate of damage during transportation. The traditional practice is to load directly onto vehicles using bulk cartons, which leads to time-consuming loading and unloading, unstable stacking, and a long-term damage rate of products during transportation remaining at around 1.2%.

Solution: Unitized transportation of standardized wooden pallets

The enterprise has introduced customized warehouse wooden pallets (with dimensions of 1200×1000mm, four-way forking, and a dynamic load capacity of 1.5 tons), integrating similar small household appliances in a fixed stacking mode (such as 24 boxes per pallet) in a unitized manner. The surface of the pallet is treated for anti-slip and corner guards are added, and it is fixed as a whole with stretch film.

Implementation effect and data improvement

Improved loading and unloading efficiency: Forklift operations replace manual handling, reducing the loading and unloading time per vehicle by 65%.

The damage rate has significantly decreased: The in-transit damage rate of products has dropped from 1.2% to less than 0.3%.

Warehouse space optimization: Standardized pallet stacking has increased warehouse capacity utilization by approximately 20%.

Enhanced management visualization: Each pallet is treated as an independent unit, facilitating inventory checks and traceability.

This case demonstrates that standardizing packaging and logistics through wooden pallets not only reduces direct cargo damage but also brings systematic benefits in terms of efficiency improvement and cost control, making it particularly suitable for supply chain scenarios with large batch sizes and uniform specifications.
