The
great thing about wood pallets is how
easy they're to customize to whatever size and elegance which will be needed
for things. Counting on the budget, racking, and sturdiness requirements, there
are several other options at your disposal also. One thing is needless to say,
the kinds of pallets that are put to use within the world of fabric handling
are as diverse as they're unique.
In
this blog post, I've listed a number of the foremost common sorts of wood
pallet styles alongside a quick description, picture, and therefore the
benefits/drawbacks of every .
A
pallet that features a piece of plywood for the highest deck (and bottom deck
if needed) for the advantage of having a solid deck.
Benefits:
solid decking which takes any gaps between duckboards
Drawback:
costlier
Skid:
A
pallet that doesn't have any bottom duckboards
Benefits:
more economical thanks to using less lumber
Drawback:
unable to be used for racking product, might not last as long together with a
bottom deck
Block Pallet:
a
type of pallet that has square or rectangular spacers between the highest and
bottom decks
Benefit:
has true 4-way entry, so it's easier for a forklift to handle from all four
sides than a traditional stringer pallet
Drawback:
costlier than typical stringer pallet
Stringer Pallet:
a
pallet with stringers (usually a 2x4's) that run the length of the pallet in
between the highest and bottom decks.
Benefit:
cost efficient
Drawback:
more easily damaged from all sides...(If you're having trouble with pallet
damage,
a
used pallet that has been repaired in order that it are often ready to be used
again.
Benefit:
the most cost effective option available
Drawback:
quality can vary drastically from pallet to pallet thanks to variations in
material...also, availability
Combo/Hybrid
Pallet:
a
pallet that has been manufactured out of latest and reclaimed material.
Benefit:
lower cost than an all new pallet thanks to using reclaimed material
Drawback:
availability (recycled material might not always be available within the size
that's needed), also quality can vary on recycled material
Wing Pallet:
a a pallet that has the highest or bottom deck (or both) that's greater in breadth
than that of the surface stringers for the aim of accelerating the strength of
the deck(s) of the pallet.
Benefit:
stronger pallets weight-bearing capabilities without adding another stringer
board
Drawback:
end boards of a wing can damage easier and may get snagged on objects or other
wing pallets around it
a pallet that has been manufactured out of all reclaimed material
Benefit:
low cost
Drawback:
availability (recycled material might not always be available within the size
that's needed), also quality can vary on recycled material
