Extinction of wood crib and pallet fires

Combustion and Flame, 1975
Abstract A series of experiments have been conducted on the extinguishment of wood crib fires by water applied directly on top of the crib. The effects of crib height, water application rate and the percentage of crib mass consumed before water application have been investigated systematically. A single empirical correlation, for three types of cribs

Characterizing the Carbon Footprint of Wood Pallet Logistics

Forest Products Journal, 2014
Abstract Pallets are one of the basic building blocks of supply chains. Pallets are the most common unit-load platform used across the world and allow for efficient and seamless handling, storage, and transportation of goods. Every year, 500 million new pallets are manufactured and become part of the large pool (roughly 2 billion) of pallets ...

Lateral Collapse Potential of Wood Stringer-Type Pallets

Journal of Testing and Evaluation, 1988
Abstract Lateral collapse of wood stringer-type pallets is defined as an overturning of stringers due to in-plane lateral impact loads or vibration. This failure results in increased handling costs, potential product and equipment damage, and possible human injury.

LIFE CYCLE ANALYSIS OF NESTABLE PLASTIC AND WOOD PALLETS

Journal of Plastic Film & Sheeting, 1995
This study performed a life cycle analysis on eight different types of nestable pallets. The pallets were made from wood and plastic. The performance of the pallets was compared based on number of trips without damage, cost, weight, and environmental considerations.

Properties of Shredded Wood Pallets

2019
About 321 million wooden pallets are repaired every year in the United States. During the pallet repair process, unusable pallets are ground into mulch that is often used for animal bedding or other sensitive applications. The objective of the research conducted for this paper was to characterize the physical and chemical properties of wood particles ...

Comparisons of environmental impacts between wood and plastic transport pallets

Science of The Total Environment, 2019
The use of transport pallets is now ubiquitous in the distribution of an extensive range of products worldwide. This study focuses on comparisons of the potential environmental impacts of two main types of transport pallets, based on a life cycle assessment (LCA); those made from wood and those made from primary or recycled plastic. Both the weight and

PCS: a pallet costing system for wood pallet manufacturers (version 1.0 for Windows®)

2002
The Pallet Costing System (PCS) is a computer-based, Microsoft Windows® application that computes the total and per-unit cost of manufacturing an order of wood pallets. Information about the manufacturing facility, along with the pallet-order requirements provided by the customer, is used in determining production cost. The major cost factors addressed

Lateral collapse potential of wood pallets

2019
Lateral collapse is a failure mode of wood pallets which most frequently occurs during transportation and handling. The study objective was to develop a simplified procedure for making relative comparisons in the lateral collapse potential of competing pallet designs.
