Used Pallet Recycling

  A stringer pallet was one of the first wooden pallet designs, and it is still one of the most popular models today. Stringers make up most of the pallets used across the country and are typically 48 x 40 in size.

In order to make a frame, three or more parallel pieces of timber are used (this is called a stringer frame). It is then necessary to attach the top deckboards to the stringers in order to construct the pallet structure.

It is possible to cut a notch into the stringer pallets so that a “four-way” partial entry is possible. The stringer pallet can be lifted by a forklift in all four directions, but it is more secure to lift it by the stringers.

Block pallets

Block pallets are also know as “Full 4-way entry”. They are meant for heavier and bulk loads. Often longer lasting and more expensive than the standard stringer pallets. That being said they are harder to repair and therefore less valuable to pallet recyclers
