Investigation of Pallet Stacking Pattern on Unit Load Bridging
… most packaged products are handled using unit loads and the interactions between the unit load components are not being considered in the pallet design process. This study aims to investigate the effect of the interlocking of layers and the pallet stacking patterns on pallet bending. This …

Investigation into load bridging effect for block class pallets as a function of package size and pallet stiffness
… of pressure towards the supports is known as load bridging and validates the observed reduction in pallet deflection as a function of box size. The results indicate that incorporating the effect of packages into current pallet design practices could result more effective and cheaper pallet …

Modeling of the fundamental mechanical interactions of unit load components during warehouse racking storage
… methodologies frequently underestimate the load carrying capacity of pallets by assuming they will only carry uniformly distributed, flexible payloads. But, by considering the effect of various payload characteristics and their interactions during the pallet design process, the structure of …

Investigation of Fundamental Relationships to Improve the Sustainability of Unit Loads
… components rather than an integrated unit load. In global supply chains, three levels of packaging components (primary, secondary, and tertiary) are commonly assembled in the unit load form to facilitate efficient and economical storage and transport of goods to customers. Unit loads is …

The Effect of the Stiffness of Unit Load Components on Pallet Deflection and Box Compression Strength
Currently, pallets are designed assuming that the load is distributed evenly on the top of the pallet. When pallets are loaded with packages such as corrugated boxes or returnable plastic containers, due to their physical shape, packages, are not capable of deforming freely with the pallet and a …

Investigation and Analysis of the Effect of Industrial Drums and Plastic Pails on Wooden Pallets throughout the Supply Chain
… of investigating how box stacking pattern, unit load type, unit load size, and containment can impact the pallet's performance. However, there have been no studies that have investigated the impact of drums and plastic pails on pallet performance. The goal of the current research study was to …

Load-support conditions and computerized test apparatus for wood pallets
The in-service loads on wood pallets are often uniformly distributed in nature. Laboratory test methods to evaluate pallets typically use point or line loads because of the difficulty of simulating the actions of a uniform load. In support of research directed at developing design procedures for …

Evaluation of Unit Load Stability Under Dynamic Forklift Handling Conditions
… are transported in bulk as palletized unit loads, where the pallet is the base of the unit load. Material handling systems represent the physical environment in which unit loads are transported through supply chains. Material handling systems include different transportation modes and …

Investigation of the Effect of Corrugated Boxes on the Distribution of Compression Stresses on the Top Surface of Wooden Pallets
Pallets are the foundation of unit loads and supply chains. They provide a way to store and transport products in an efficient manner. The load capacity of pallets greatly depends on the type of packages carried by the pallet; however, current pallet design methods do not consider the effect of …

Effect of Pallet Deckboard Stiffness and Unit Load Factors on Corrugated Box Compression Strength
… the deckboard is the beam. Rotational stiffness, load bridging, and foundation stiffness changes required the development of novel testing solution and model development. The model was capable of predicting the distribution of force along the length sidewall but was not capable of predicting the …
