Stacking dollys
This page covers standards available for steel packaging, steel fastening methods, plastic packaging and aluminium pallets. Wherever standards are available that are part of the pallet and packaging industry (although only our own selection) they may be listed. The page is not solely concerned with National, European or International standards since some test methods or specifications only exist in the national or commercial form. An example of this is the MIBANT test for nail strength originating in the USA (discussed in the NAILS and NAILPLATES page) .
There are a wide range of plastic standards, such as boxes called ‘tote bins’ and others which comprise steel aluminium and plastic such as rollcontainers and dollys. An example is dollys which are specified for dimensions, test methods and safety performance such as stacking height and minimum toppling angles in EN 12674-4: 2006: Roll containers - Part 4 - Performance requirements.
Fastenings cross several industries with a common theme of application to a wood substrate. There are both dedicated fastener standards and also product specific standards reflecting the need of the particular sector. There are several hundred in these categories on this site and if not in the downloadable indexes members can e-mail us with a number, or a title, or a part title, since we currently have 1240 standards available for timber, steel packaging, steel fastening methods, plastic packaging and aluminium pallets on file.
