Pallet Stands – Ergonomic and Safe Pallet Support for Manual Operations

Pallet Stands (also known as Pallet Levellers or Pallet Cradles) are robust, non-motorised steel frames designed to safely raise a pallet off the ground to an ergonomic, working height (typically 275mm to 300mm). Widely used in manual packing, inspection, and assembly lines across Australian distribution and manufacturing, these stands reduce bending and reaching by the operator, significantly decreasing the risk of back injuries and fatigue associated with floor-level pallet handling.

Improving manual material handling ergonomics is key to WHS compliance and employee retention. Verdex supplies a variety of fixed and collapsible Pallet Stands, all engineered for high load capacity and stability, ensuring maximum safety at the workstation. These simple yet crucial ergonomic aids are a core part of our Industrial Workplace Equipment range.

 

Ergonomic Advantages of Pallet Stands in Manual Flow

Pallet Stands provide essential ergonomic and safety benefits that complement other lifting solutions:

  • Reduced Manual Strain: By elevating the pallet, they eliminate the need for excessive bending and stretching, which is necessary when packing or unpacking floor-level pallets, improving the worker's posture throughout the shift.

  • Improved Stability: They secure the pallet base and prevent movement during manual loading or unloading, enhancing safety when compared to working on uneven or damaged surfaces. Pallet integrity can also be maintained using tools like Pallet Straighteners.

  • Cost-Effective Elevation: Provides a simple, non-powered alternative to dynamic positioning equipment, though for continuous adjustment, powered options like High Lift Pallet Jacks or Pallet Lift Tables may be required.

 

Streamlining Pallet Handling in Diverse Industries

Pallet Stands are an indispensable tool for optimising any workflow that involves manual interaction with palletised goods. They are critical across a broad range of Australian industries, including:

  • Manufacturing and Assembly: Used for kitting and line-side feeding where small components are manually picked from a pallet.

  • Food and Pharmaceutical: Essential in cleanrooms or segregated packing areas for manual inspection and quality control of pallet layers.

  • E-commerce and Distribution: Utilised at packing stations for manually consolidating small orders onto an outbound pallet.

  • Specialised Material Handling: Providing safe, elevated support when rotating or preparing loads before they are moved by Pallet Inverters or positioned via Pallet Turntables.

While Pallet Stands provide fixed height, our extensive range of Lifting Equipment and Pallet Positioners offer dynamic control. For moving full pallets with overhead lifting systems, specialised Pallet Hooks are required. Pallet Stands are often placed at the end of a process served by Conveyor Equipment.
