Reusing a pallet avoids building a new one, and used block pallets can be requested through partner suppliers. Condition varies by supplier and by pallet, so ask about repairs and wear. Worn pallets can often be repaired or recycled into wood products.
Block pallets use wooden blocks instead of stringers to support the deck. This creates openings on all four sides for forklift entry. Blocks can be solid wood, engineered wood or recycled content, so ask the supplier what a given pallet is made from.
Automated systems depend on consistent pallet dimensions and condition. True 4-way entry allows handling from any side. If you use conveyors or automated storage, check pallet requirements with your equipment supplier and tell the partner supplier what you need.
Load ratings depend on pallet design, wood and condition, and used pallets may differ from new ones. Ask the supplier about construction and repairs, and check the pallet against your load and your racking requirements before you order.
Pricing is by quote from partner suppliers and depends on size, condition, quantity and treatment. Used pallets are often a lower-cost option than new. Describe the construction and condition you need in the quote request so quotes are comparable.
Individual blocks and deck boards can often be replaced, and used pallets are commonly repaired before they are resold. Inspect pallets for loose boards, damaged blocks and protruding nails before use, and set aside any that are damaged.
Before switching from stringer to block pallets, review equipment compatibility. Most forklifts handle both types, but racking and automated systems may have specific requirements. Consider trying a small quantity first to see how it works in your operation.
Block designs are common internationally, while the 48x40 GMA size in North America is commonly built with stringers. ISPM 15 heat treatment, a core temperature of 56 °C for 30 minutes with an HT stamp, applies to block and stringer pallets alike. Check current regulations and destination rules.
