STOWAGES
The stowage is a platform of
storage, maintenance
and transport. Supports the
merchandise and ensure all the
operations of the chain of
distribution. It plays a
important role since it is
present throughout the cycle
of distribution.
ADVANTAGES OF USING PALLETS
Pallets allow for the standardization of storage in their products.
Eliminate the handling of boxes, bundles, or any other kind of objects that generate more.
occupation of spaces.
It reduces transportation costs and storage time.
Reduce the damage.
With plastic material, they allow for the storage of almost all products, such as
food, laboratory products among others.
DISADVANTAGES
Wooden pallet:
Weight increase in air transport.
Very difficult to clean and if it gets wet, it increases the risk of mold development and
bacteria.
Splinters, protruding nails, and wood deformation pose a risk.
for safety
Plastic pallet:
The cracks or breaks in a wooden pallet are repairable, in this case.
it requires grinding the pallet for the manufacture of a new one. The cost is very
superior to simple repair.
Much more expensive than the equivalent wooden pallet.
High production cost of non-standard models, made to order.
MATERIALS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF PALLETS
Wood
It is the main raw material in the production of pallets. 95% of the pallets used are made of
wood.
Metal
Its use is recommended when the pallets are going to be subjected to high loads.
temperatures.
Plastic
The use of plastic pallets is recommended when resistance to acids is required and
corrosive substances, when they are going to be exposed to moisture or in cases where

They have the advantage of being washable and reusable.
Fiber and cardboard
They are lighter and more economical than wooden ones. They have the advantage of not
require special treatments for exports; otherwise in
some countries for wooden pallets.
Composite or mixed
The construction of composite pallets has been developed by the
combination of different materials like wood and metal, metal and
plastic, cardboard and plastic and wood and plastic.
TYPES OF LASHINGS
Classification by its destination
Disposable or export packing: the exporter has no interest in it.
recovery and the importer can dispose of it.
Returnable stowage: it is one that must be returned to its place of origin.
note that there is an organization, the Commonwealth Handling and Equipment
Pool, CHEPP, which rents the pallets to its clients and takes care of collecting them.
CLASSIFICATION BY ITS USE AND ASPECTS
CONSTRUCTIVE
For the number of tickets
Two-entry pallets: their construction only allows the entry of the forks.
of the manipulation mechanisms from the opposite sides. This type of pallets
they have the drawback of not being accessible from anywhere, which can
make it difficult to load them into closed vehicles.
Four-entry pallets: the entries or windows allow for penetration of
the forks on all four sides of the stowage, making its loading possible on
any type of vehicle, as they can be placed both frontally and
laterally
CLASSIFICATION BY THE NUMBER OF FACES
Normals: with a single back face.
Reversible: with the upper or lower platforms
equal that allow to have a support surface for the
stacking.
CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO THE
MANAGEMENT
With fins: it is one where the floor or floors protrude to one side and
another one of the beams to also facilitate the suspension of slings.
The box is provided with at least three vertical walls,
whole or covered that can be fixed, removable or foldable,
with or without cover, but allow stacking.
DIMENSIONS THAT MUST BE CARRIED BY A
STOWAGE OR PALLET
There are some measures for pallets that have been standardized by ISO and that
correspond appropriately to the dimensions of standardized packaging.
Dimensions of pallets for air transport: 1,200 mm x 800 mm.
Dimensions of pallets for maritime and terrestrial transport: 1,200 mm x
1.000 mm.
Additionally, there are standardized dimensions for pallets according to
the regions. These dimensions are related to the area of each stack and facilitate the
optimization of the area in transportation.
European pallet: 1,200 mm x 800 mm.
Modular stacking: 1,200 mm x 1,200 mm.
American pallet (USA): 1,219 mm x 1,016 mm.
Japanese pallet 1,100 mm x 1,100 mm.
