What Are Winged Pallets?
Winged pallets are wooden platforms designed with extended deck boards. These extra-long boards are called wings and hang from the edges of the wood pallet blocks or stringers, increasing the surface area. The wings allow you to distribute the weight of the load more evenly over the pallet and reduce the stress on its components.
Winged pallets are ideal for transporting, storing and handling tall, large loads. Their ample loading area increases their capacity to hold oversized loads or more goods. They also provide easy handling with a four-way entry that provides forklift access from all sides.
Single-Wing Pallets vs. Double-Wing Pallets
There are two types of winged pallets, which offer different levels of strength and are suitable for various applications.
Single-wing pallets only have wings on two sides and primarily support weight on the side with extended deckboards. These pallets can be lifted with forklifts from two sides and are ideal for handling large loads on narrow aisles.
Double-wing pallets have wings on all four sides and can hold weight on either the top or bottom side of the pallet. The extra wings offer maximum strength and stability for oversized loads. They also increase versatility for different loads and handling methods.
Benefits of Winged Pallets
Winged pallets are a versatile packaging solution for larger and high-volume loads. Their additional surface area supports large and irregularly shaped loads and increases stability during transit. They also offer extra space for stretch film and additional cushioning materials for easier and safer packaging.
The benefits of winged pallets include:
- Enhanced load capacity
- Increased stability for stacked loads
- Easier handling with forklifts and pallet jacks
- Improved weight distribution
- High customization capabilities
Common Applications of Winged Pallets
Winged pallets are used across industries to support goods that require large surface areas and increased stability.
The most common applications of double and single wing pallets include:
- Securing irregularly shaped items such as barrels or drums
- Transporting oversized loads like machinery or construction materials
- Storing a greater volume of goods on one pallet
