Abstract
The objectives of this research were to analyze the deflection and stress of steel pallets in the cold storage industry, and to reduce the number of unnecessary parts of the steel pallet. The steel pallet model with dimensions of 120x110x150 centimeters was created by using finite element software. The accuracy of the deflection of the steel pallet model was verified using the dial gauge test results. Subsequently, the deflection and von Misses stress of the steel pallet were determined to reduce the number of unnecessary components in the steel pallet when the steel pallet was subjected to a uniformly distributed load of 1200 kilograms acting perpendicular to the steel pallet area. The results demonstrated that the steel pallet model had a maximum error of 6.52 percent from the test results using dial gauges. By reducing the number of components in the steel pallet area, the deflection and von Misses stress of the steel pallet could be reduced. This reduction led to a decrease in the cost and weight of the steel pallet by 18.61 and 18.57 percent, respectively. The results of this research could be used to benefit industries that use steel pallets to store products.
