It offers. STATE OF THE ART In the known state of the art, pallets used in transportation and storage processes are part of logistics. 10 Pallets are one of the most basic pieces of equipment in the pallet industry. Pallets are used to transport loads with forklifts or pallet trucks. With its help, it enables transportation, stacking and organized storage. However, technology... Most pallets used in their current state are made from wood or plastic materials. and various technical limitations arising from the physical and structural properties of these materials It is located. 15 Wooden pallets have been the most commonly used type of pallet in the industry for many years. However, These pallets are inadequate in terms of resistance to moisture, impact, and pressure. Over time... Problems such as cracking, breaking, or deformation can occur. Furthermore, wood material, during production... And it is not sustainable in terms of recycling; it usually becomes waste after use. In sectors requiring high hygiene standards (e.g., the food, chemical, or pharmaceutical industries), wooden pallets are 20% durable. It is not suitable for use because its surface pores allow for the retention of liquids and bacteria. Plastic pallets were developed as an alternative to wooden pallets, and they are lighter and more resistant to moisture. It offers a durable structure. However, plastic pallets lose their shape at high temperatures. inability to protect, tendency to bend or crack under heavy load, and production High costs limit the widespread use of this type of pallet. Also, plastic 25 Because the recycling of these materials is limited, it is also not environmentally sustainable. Although some metal-based pallet structures have been proposed in the current state of the art, these structures They are generally heavy, expensive, and inefficient in terms of stacking. In such systems, legs and Since the body connections are generally fixed, pallets can be stacked on top of each other during this process. Large gaps are created between them. This situation reduces the efficient use of storage space. 30 2 This hinders the process. Furthermore, the inability to stack pallets nested together makes transportation and... It causes significant volume loss during storage. Another problem with existing systems is incompatibility with forklifts or limited access issues. On some wooden, plastic, and metal pallets, the entry opening for forklift forks is narrow or its position is incorrect. It is unstable; this leads to time loss and safety risks during loading and unloading. 5 It opens. In conclusion, current pallet systems in the known state of the art have inadequate load distribution. Deformation due to imbalance, unnecessary volume during stacking coatings, creating alignment difficulties at forklift entry points, and materials with a short service life. It has shortcomings such as manufacturing deficiencies. This situation is particularly problematic in areas with heavy transportation traffic. It reduces operational efficiency in storage areas and makes space utilization inefficient. This leads to increased maintenance costs. Furthermore, existing structures, during stacking... Due to their fixed leg geometries, they cannot nest together, which makes them difficult to transport and store. This leads to significant volume loss during the processes. For these reasons, a balanced distribution of the load is necessary. 15 that provides space saving during stacking, is forklift compatible and has increased durability.
