How do I stack products on pallets? What does palletise mean?<\/strong><\/em> All these questions are answered in this article which covers a range of the common types of palletising &#8211; both automated and manual.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Does Palletising Mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Palletising is simply the act of stacking products onto pallets. This is typically to make the product easy to transport.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Do I Palletise Products?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are really 3 main ways of palletising:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Manual palletising<\/li>\n<li>Semi Automated palletising<\/li>\n<li>Automated palletising<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Manual Palletising<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is where people simply stack products onto pallets by hand. This process is very common especially where there are random or irregular shaped products that need stacking.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Semi Automated Palletising<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is where there is a certain level of automation to assist someone manually stacking pallets. For example;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a hand operated vacuum lifter that take most of the weight of the products to reduce the strain on the hands.<\/li>\n<li>Lifters that lift the product up to the relevant height for stacking the next layer on the pallet, or onto a persons shoulder, to make stacking by hand easier and reduce the manual strain and lifting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Automated Palletising<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is where the process of palletising is carried out with entirely automated machinery. This is often a robotic palletising system or an overhead gantry palletising system. Even within automated systems there are certain levels of automation but the most advanced systems can be quickly re-programmed by a non-skilled operator.<\/p>\n<p>If you want any further information on palletising, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.granta-automation.co.uk\/types-of-automation\/robotic-palletising\">view our robotic palletising page here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"topbutton\"><a href=\"\/contact\">contact us<\/a><\/div>\n<p><!-- Whiteblock Bottom--><\/p>\n<div class=\"whiteblock2\" id=\"w2\">\n<div class=\"wpwhiteblockwv\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><b>Watch automation videos&#8230;<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/watch-videos\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Watch Automation Videos\" width=\"300px\" src=\"\/images\/video-image.jpg\" alt=\"Watch\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpwhiteblockwv\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><b>Find out more&#8230;<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.granta-automation.co.uk\/news\/how-to-specify-an-automated-pallet-stacking-system\/\">How To Specify an Automated Pallet Stacking System<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.granta-automation.co.uk\/news\/invest-in-automation-to-stay-ahead-of-your-competition\/\">Invest in Automation to Stay Ahead of Your Competition<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.granta-automation.co.uk\/news\/fast-flexible-palletising\/\">Fast, Flexible Palletising<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.granta-automation.co.uk\/news\/what-impact-does-automation-have-on-the-working-environment\/\">What Impact Does Automation Have On The Working Environment?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.granta-automation.co.uk\/news\/free-payback-calculator-with-finance-lease-options\/\">FREE Payback Calculator with Finance Lease Options<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wppaltypes\">\n<div class=\"circle\"><a href=\"\/types-of-automation\/robotic-palletising\/palletiser-application-examples\/bag-palletiser\"> <img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Bag Palletiser\" width=\"160px\" src=\"\/images\/paltypes\/Bag-Palletiser-2-Lane-c.png\" alt=\"Bag Palletiser\"><\/p>\n<p>Bag Palletiser<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"circle\"><a href=\"\/types-of-automation\/robotic-palletising\/palletiser-application-examples\/barrel-palletiser\"> <img title=\"Barrel Palletiser\" width=\"160px\"src=\"\/images\/paltypes\/barrel-palletiser-c.png\" alt=\"Barrel Palletiser\"><\/p>\n<p>Barrel Palletiser<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"circle\"><a href=\"\/types-of-automation\/robotic-palletising\/palletiser-application-examples\/box-palletiser\"> <img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Box Palletiser\" width=\"160px\" src=\"\/images\/paltypes\/Box-Palletiser-2-Lane.png\" alt=\"Box Palletiser\"><\/p>\n<p>Box Palletiser<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"circle\"><a href=\"\/types-of-automation\/robotic-palletising\/palletiser-application-examples\/crate-palletiser\"> <img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Crate Palletiser\" width=\"160px\" src=\"\/images\/paltypes\/Crate-Palletiser-2-Lane.png\" alt=\"Crate Palletiser\"><\/p>\n<p>Crate Palletiser<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"circle\"><a href=\"\/types-of-automation\/robotic-palletising\/palletiser-application-examples\/tray-palletiser\"> <img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Tray Palletiser\" width=\"160px\" src=\"\/images\/paltypes\/Tray-Palletiser-c.png\" alt=\"Tray Palletiser\"><\/p>\n<p>Tray Palletiser<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do I palletise?
