Users want pallets that pass through buildings easily, stack and fit in racks, are accessible to forklifts and pallet jacks, and function in automated warehouses. To accomplish this, there are many different types of pallets available, including two-way and four-way style pallets, stringer and block style pallets, and various material style pallets. For instance, roto-molded pallets are economical, available in standard sizes, and can be enhanced using steel frames to increase its load-bearing capacity. They are typically used in industries where hygiene is a priority. Injection-molded pallets are flat pallets used to lift goods during transportation and can be easily moved using forklifts, loaders, or jacks. Injection-molded pallets made with HDPE are washable, corrosion-free, recyclable, and durable. Block pallets can be lifted from all four directions. There may or may not be a bottom deck. Block pallets provide high handling efficiency and could be made of wood, plastic, or metal. Typical stringer pallets offer extra support over block pallets but only offer two way lifting. Two boards running between the top and bottom deck on two opposite ends of the pallet provides additional reinforcement. Four-way stringer pallets are also available where the stringer has a notch cut allowing forklifts to pick up the pallet. No matter what type of pallet your application requires, Turnkey can help you determine your best options.
