PALLET FEATURES
What are the different types of shipping pallets?
Although they may look alike, every pallet is different. Pallets can be classified by their support structure, deck configuration and material.
TYPE OF SUPPORT
Block pallets
Block pallets are supported by blocks positioned between the top and bottom decks. Most have four-way entry, allowing a forklift to lift the pallet from any side.
Their sturdy construction makes them easy to handle and suitable for a wide range of loads.
TYPE OF SUPPORT
Stringer pallets
Stringer pallets use parallel boards, known as stringers, to support the load. They normally provide two-way forklift entry, although four-way notched versions are also available.
Stringer pallets are particularly common in the United States.
DECK CONFIGURATION
Open deck pallets
Open deck pallets have gaps or a mesh-like surface on the top deck. This makes them lighter and can help water drain away if the pallet gets wet.
They are generally a more economical option than solid deck pallets.
DECK CONFIGURATION
Solid deck pallets
Solid deck pallets have a continuous top surface made from wood, plastic or another material. With no gaps for small items to fall through, they are suitable for smaller goods.
Their smooth surface also makes them easier to clean.
OTHER PALLET TYPES
Other pallet designs
Double-face pallets
- Have decks on both the top and bottom for additional strength and load distribution.
Double-wing pallets
- Have deck boards extending beyond the supports, providing a larger surface for bulky loads.
Nestable pallets
- Fit inside one another when empty, reducing the amount of storage space required.
PALLET MATERIALS
Choosing between different pallet materials
Pallets are available in wood, plastic, paper and metal. The best material depends on the weight of your goods, handling requirements, destination and how often the pallet will be reused.
PALLET MATERIALS
Wooden pallets
Wooden pallets are the most commonly used type of shipping pallet. They are durable, widely available and generally more affordable than plastic or metal alternatives.
They are suitable for a wide range of goods, including heavy items, furniture and general freight.
PALLET MATERIALS
Plastic pallets
Plastic pallets are durable, reusable and easy to clean. They are often used in industries where hygiene and resistance to moisture are particularly important.
They usually cost more than wooden pallets but can be reused many times.
PALLET MATERIALS
Paper pallets
Paper pallets are lightweight, recyclable and easy to handle. They are best suited to lighter shipments where reducing packaging weight is important.
They are generally not recommended for very heavy loads or demanding transport conditions.
PALLET MATERIALS
Steel pallets
Steel pallets are extremely strong and durable, making them suitable for heavy loads and demanding transport conditions.
They are resistant to moisture and repeated handling, but are heavier and usually more expensive than wooden or plastic pallets.
