rakodólapok

Rakodólapok, commonly known as pallets in English, are a structural framework designed to support goods during storage, handling, and transportation. They are typically made of wood, but can also be constructed from plastic, metal, or composite materials. The primary function of a rakodólap is to provide a stable, uniform base for lifting and moving items with forklifts, pallet jacks, or other material handling equipment. This standardization greatly improves efficiency in warehouses and shipping operations.

The most prevalent type of rakodólap is the four-way entry pallet, which allows access from any side. Two-way entry pallets, accessible from only two sides, are also used. Dimensions vary depending on regional standards and the intended use, with common sizes including the European standard (1200 mm x 800 mm) and the North American standard (48 inches x 40 inches).

Rakodólapok play a crucial role in supply chain management, enabling bulk handling and reducing the risk of damage to goods. Their reusability also contributes to cost-effectiveness and environmental sustainability. After their service life, many rakodólapok are repaired, repurposed, or recycled, minimizing waste. The global pallet market is substantial, reflecting their indispensable nature in modern commerce.
