The standard North American pallet, or GMA pallet, has deckboards of 40 inches and stringers of 48 inches. Four-way pallets, or pallets for heavy loads (or general-purpose systems that might have heavy loads) are best lifted by their more rigid stringers.
Block pallets are genuine 4-way entry pallets, with blocks being utilized to support the unit load. The number of blocks, varies, but the typical number ranges between 4 and 12. Block pallet specifications are first noted by the length of the block stringer, and noted second by the length of the deckboards. A standard style block pallet is a traditional 9 Block pallet designed for 4-way entry. However, there are many other styles of block pallets that are highly customized for specific needs, specifications, and uses.
