Educational Guide

Anatomy of a Wood Pallet

Understanding pallet components helps you make informed purchasing decisions

1

Top Deck Boards

The upper surface where products are placed. Number of boards affects load distribution - more boards mean better support for irregular loads.

Critical for product protection
2

Bottom Deck Boards

Located on the underside. Provides stability and distributes weight to the floor. Essential for racking applications.

Important for racking strength
3

Stringers

The long boards running the length of the pallet that connect top and bottom decks. Can be notched for 4-way fork entry or solid for 2-way entry.

Determines fork entry and strength
4

Blocks

Used in block pallets instead of stringers. Solid wood blocks at corners and center allow 4-way fork entry from any direction.

Enables full 4-way access
5

Lead Boards

The outer top and bottom deck boards. These take the most abuse from fork tines and should be inspected carefully.

Most prone to damage
6

Fasteners

Nails or screws holding the pallet together. Spiral or ring-shank nails provide better holding power than smooth nails.

Determines structural integrity

How to Choose the Right Pallet

Answer these questions to find the perfect pallet for your application

What will you ship?

  • Product weight
  • Product fragility
  • Package size
  • Stacking requirements

Heavy/fragile items need Grade A or B with good deck coverage

How will pallets be handled?

  • Manual handling
  • Conveyor systems
  • Automated equipment

Automated systems require consistent dimensions (Grade A or New)

Where will pallets go?

  • Warehouse storage

  • International export
  • Customer delivery

Export needs ISPM 15; retail needs clean Grade A

How many trips?

  • One-way shipping

One-way = Grade C; multiple trips = Grade A/B

What's your budget?
