In total, there are six models of wooden pallets, which we will provide a brief description of each of them below:
1. Stringer pallet
The wooden stringer pallet is one of the simplest types of wooden pallets. The upper and lower decks of this type of pallet are separated by strings or boards that are usually 5 to 10 cm wide. These strings act like cross beams to distribute the weight of the load evenly.
2. Block palette
In each wooden block pallet, 9 to 12 blocks are placed between the upper and lower decks of the pallet. Blocks are installed in all four corners of the pallet and in the center of each side of the wooden pallet. In addition, between the corner blocks, one to three more blocks are placed in the middle of the pallet. These blocks act as load supports.
Block pallets are known as four-sided pallets. Because they can be loaded by forklifts and pallet jacks from all four sides. This type of wooden pallets are suitable for carrying heavy loads.
3. Double sided palette
Reversible double-sided pallets can be loaded from either the top or bottom. Because both decks are made exactly the same. In irreversible pallets, the lower part is less strong than the upper part.
4. Two-wing palette
The double-winged palette is one of the types of double-faced palette design. This pallet model has a deck at the top and a deck at the bottom of the pallet. But decks extend beyond the edges of the palette. In this way, they give the palette a winged appearance. Double-wing pallets are usually double-sided. But if they have cut threads, they can be used in four ways. Depending on the structure, double wing pallets can be reversible or non-reversible.
5. Solid deck pallet
The solid deck pallet is designed so that the top deck is flat and uniform. Solid deck pallets are usually made from a solid sheet of plywood. Solid deck pallets are suitable for organizations that produce small goods. Because the one-handed design of this wooden pallet prevents objects from falling through the cracks.
6. Two-legged pallet
The design of this type of pallet is similar to the block pallet design. Its difference with the block pallet is that this type of pallet does not have a lower deck and the upper deck is mounted on only two legs. Since these pallets do not have enough strength and power, they are only used for light loads.
