Abstract

In this paper, the pallet size which is used in a Container Freight Station (CFS) has been studied, in order to realize the effective cargo handling in a CFS. We have carried out general consideration based on the results of numerical analysis and experimentation. Suitabilities of pallet size for container size, cargo size on a pallet for container size, pallet size for the area of CFS and pallet size for fieldwork have been considered. Type T11 (1100×1100) and type T8 (1100×800) are suitable for the intermodal transportation, from the view point of utilization efficiency of container floor. 4 kinds of pallet size, 1400×1100, 1200×1000, T11 and 1800×1200 (used in a CFS) are suitable for fieldwork in a CFS. Synthesizing the results of each suitability, it is advisable to use T11 pallet in a CFS.
