WOOD PALLETS
We manufacture our pallets in house therefore we can custom disign pallets just for you.
Definition:
Block pallets are true 4-way entry pallets. They use blocks of solid wood, plywood, or plastic to support the unit load. Typically, block pallets use 4 to 12 blocks to support the top deckboards. Curiously enough, between the blocks and the deckboards are thin stringers, which form a mat with the deckboard. Like in a stringer pallet, the length of a block pallet, is specified by the length of the stringer board and the width by the length of the deckboards. Block pallets can be designed with or without bottom deckboards, or a full-perimeter base.
