Anti-slip treatment is a critical feature that is often overlooked. High-quality pallets feature a textured load-bearing surface-typically incorporating a diamond-patterned tread or raised protrusions-to achieve a friction coefficient of 0.6 or higher, thereby effectively preventing cargo from sliding. Furthermore, the rounded-edge design not only protects operators from scratches but also minimizes collision-related damage during handling.
If the pallets are intended for outdoor use, it is essential to verify whether they have been treated with a UV-resistant additive; this additive ensures that the pallets remain fade-resistant and non-brittle for up to five years, even when exposed to direct sunlight. Additionally, pallets equipped with a locking-buckle mechanism automatically interlock when stacked, offering three times the stability of standard models.
