Tier sheets is a thin pallet sized sheet that is made of heavy laminated Kraft paperboard, plastic or sometimes corrugated fiberboard. It is used as a unit load support device delivery of vehicles and transportation of products. The structural strength of the sheet supports the weight of the product load when they are supported by a a pallet board, conveyor surface and a flat load carrying surface.
There are some benefits that result from using the slip sheet. For one, using them instead of the wooden pallets makes it possible for more products to be put into the material handling containers. This is because they do not use as much space as the traditional ones did. They also do not require any maintenance as they are easily replaced. Another thing is that they are way lighter than wooden pallets and thus reduce the shipping costs.
Several types of slip sheets exist today. They are categorized according to the number of lip extension they have and the material they are made of. Conventionally the sheet is dimensioned and shaped according to the size of the unit load or the product being transported. To choose the best and most appropriate sheet to use, you should consider the functionality of sheet and how you want to use it.
For one there is the single lip sheet. This sheet has a lip facing the narrow part of the unit load that has a rectangular shape and the delivery truck door. It seeks to maximize space utilization of the delivery truck and the process of loading and unloading. This also minimizes the travel path clearance.
The other type is known as the multiple lip slip sheet. This has multiple lips facing more than one side and is mostly used on containers placed on either rail cars or ocean delivery vehicles. They make it possible for a loading device to pack the unit load a different side than the one for unloading the same unit load from.
There are several options of handling the lips when you are loading goods for transporting. The first portion is leaving the lip extended so that there would be clearance for the travel path which will consequently allow more clearance for the travel path. The second method of handling the lip is by taping it against the unit load in the event that more push pull activities are needed. The last thing is to cut the lip when it is no longer required.
When looking for a particular design in a slip sheet there are certain factors that should be considered. One of them is the size, weight and dimension of the of the unit load that is awaiting transit. The method of storage is also another factor of consideration. The third consideration that is equally important is the conditions present during transit, for example the humidity, temperature and moisture.
It is important that you have the necessary knowledge of the sheets if you deal with them. Do not be lazy when it comes to finding the best and necessary design for the sheet. Tier sheets are good for all your transportation needs.
