Mg Alloy Pallets

Magnesium alloy pallets are a good option for warehousing applications. Magnesium alloy is lightweight and strong, making it an ideal material for creating durable pallets that can handle heavy loads. Magnesium alloy pallets also offer several advantages over traditional wooden or plastic pallets.

 

Firstly, magnesium alloy pallets are much lighter than wooden or plastic pallets, which makes them easier to handle and transport. This can lead to reduced handling costs and faster loading and unloading times.

 

Secondly, magnesium alloy pallets are more durable and long-lasting than wooden or plastic pallets. They are resistant to corrosion, fire, and pests, and can withstand extreme temperatures and harsh environments without warping, cracking, or breaking.

Finally, magnesium alloy pallets are also more environmentally friendly than traditional pallets. They are recyclable and can be reused multiple times, reducing waste and promoting sustainability.

 

Overall, magnesium alloy pallets can offer significant benefits for warehousing operations, including improved efficiency, durability, and sustainability.

Magnesium alloy pallets have significant advantages in terms of lightweight design compared to commonly used wooden pallets, which are prone to mold, plastic pallets that become brittle at low temperatures, and heavy stainless steel pallets. The weight of magnesium alloy pallets is only 1/4 of steel pallets and 2/3 of aluminum alloy pallets, making them highly advantageous in terms of weight reduction.

 

When reaching the end of their service life, wooden and plastic pallets have almost no recycling value. Aluminum pallets retain a residual value of 30% to 50% of their purchase price, while steel pallets can only be sold as scrap metal. Only magnesium alloy pallets can achieve a residual value of over 50% of their purchase price.


Magnesium alloy grades for the production of magnesium alloy pallets


AZ91: AZ91 magnesium alloy contains about 9% aluminum and 1% zinc. It has high strength and corrosion resistance and is suitable for pallet applications carrying heavier items.


AM60: AM60 magnesium alloy contains about 6% aluminum and about 0.2% zirconium. It offers high strength and impact resistance for frequent tossing and heavy-duty applications of pallets.

 

Magnesium alloy pallets have received widespread praise from customers due to their environmentally friendly and lightweight properties, ease of welding, oxidation resistance, recyclability, good shock absorption (protecting goods), high depreciation residual value, and stable strength in extreme temperature environments. They have not only significantly reduced transportation energy consumption but also solved the labor-intensive problem of loading and unloading goods with forklifts. In a market environment where labor is increasingly scarce, they are highly favored by customers.
