In the logistics, industrial packaging and goods handling sectors, pallet resistance is a fundamental requirement to ensure safety, reliability and operational continuity. For this reason, carrying out a compression test for compression and bending tests on pallets makes it possible to verify the structural behavior of the pallet when it is subjected to loads, stresses and conditions of use similar to real operating situations.
Acquati offers the Compression Tester AG 10000 by Acquati, an instrument designed to perform compression and bending tests on pallets, with management through a Touch Panel and a configuration developed to meet the needs of testing laboratories, pallet manufacturers, packaging companies and industrial businesses that need to control the quality of their handling supports.
Compression test for compression and bending tests on pallets according to UNI EN ISO 8611-1
Testing pallets is an important step in assessing the product’s ability to support static and dynamic loads while maintaining adequate levels of resistance and stability. The UNI EN ISO 8611-1 standard defines the test methods for evaluating flat pallets intended for materials handling.
In this context, the Compression Tester AG 10000 by Acquati makes it possible to perform targeted tests to analyze the behavior of the pallet during compression and bending, providing concrete support for quality control activities, internal verification and the evaluation of mechanical performance.
Touch Panel for simple and intuitive test management
One of the distinctive features of the Compression Tester AG 10000 by Acquati is the presence of the Touch Panel, which allows the operator to manage the test cycle in a simple, organized and immediate way.
The touch interface makes it possible to set working parameters, monitor test progress and control the operating phases with greater practicality. This feature makes the instrument particularly suitable both for production environments and for laboratories where tests need to be repeated accurately, reducing setup times and improving the management of daily activities.
Why perform compression and bending tests on pallets
Pallets are subjected to significant loads every day during transport, storage, handling with forklifts and warehouse use. Insufficient verification can lead to deformation, structural failure, load instability and risks for operator safety.
Carrying out a compression test for compression and bending tests on pallets makes it possible to:
- assess the pallet’s resistance under load;
- check for any deformation during the test;
- verify the construction quality of the product;
- compare different materials or design solutions;
- support compliance with the test methods required by the standard;
- improve safety and reliability in goods handling.
These tests are particularly useful for manufacturers of wooden, plastic or composite material pallets, but also for companies that use pallets in complex logistics processes and want to ensure that the supports used are suitable for their operational needs.
