Custom Design Features of Specialty Automotive Pallets
As an Indiana automobile manufacturer, you work hard to design and produce your product, which is why storing and transporting your automotive parts safely is vital. In Kokomo and beyond, H&R Industrial creates top-of-the-line custom automotive pallets that meet the specific needs of the industry. Here are some important factors we consider when making our specialty automotive pallets.
Custom Metal Fabrication
We don’t create mere generic-sized storage options. Our fabrication shop creates custom metal storage and cargo handling racks and containers. We also fabricate steel pallets and custom-built metal containers designed to stack and organize vehicle frames and auto parts for automotive manufacturing companies. We’re skilled at precision manufacturing to support you and your product.
A Remanufacturing Option
In addition to creating new pallets, we also excel in the rework and remanufacturing of existing metal containers and racks. This process not only extends the lifespan of your current equipment but also provides a cost-effective solution. When we’re done, you’ll have a refurbished metal container that works as if it were brand new.
Standard and Custom Pallet Dimensions
The industry standard size for an automotive pallet is 48 inches by 45 inches, which works well for shipping parts like engines, tires, and batteries. However, H&R Industrial offers custom pallets designed to precisely fit the dimensions and weight of specific parts. This customization reduces the risk of damage during transit so that your parts arrive in pristine condition.
Design Features to Consider for Functionality
When speaking with our representative about pallet design, there are a few features to consider.
- Four-Way Forklift Access: Forklifts can approach pallets from all sides, enhancing maneuverability.
- Side Lips: Consider using pallets that have lips to prevent parts from sliding off.
- Stackable Design: This allows for efficient use of vertical space, maximizing storage.
Along with providing ease of use, each option also increases safety while handling or transporting your product or parts.
