Types of Wood Pallets for Industrial and Commercial Use

Choosing the right wood pallet helps businesses transport, store, and handle products safely and efficiently. Viking Pallet offers a variety of pallet options to support different shipping, warehousing, and material-handling requirements.

Contact Viking Pallet to discuss your pallet requirements and find an option suited to your operation.

Explore Our Wood Pallet Types

Stringer Pallets

Stringer pallets use supporting wooden boards, known as stringers, between the top and bottom deck boards. Depending on their design, they can accommodate different handling requirements and are commonly used in warehousing, distribution, and shipping operations.

Viking Pallet offers stringer pallet options for businesses seeking practical wood pallet solutions for their material-handling needs.

Block Pallets

Block pallets use blocks to support the deck and provide different entry and handling configurations depending on the design. They can be suitable for operations that require specific forklift or pallet jack access.

When selecting a block pallet, consider your handling equipment, load requirements, and storage configuration.

Heavy-Duty Wood Pallets

Heavy-duty wood pallets are designed for demanding applications where pallet construction must suit the weight and distribution of the load. Deck board thickness, stringer or block design, and overall dimensions can affect performance.

Discuss your product weight and handling conditions with Viking Pallet to determine the appropriate pallet specification.

Heat-Treated Wood Pallets

Heat-treated wood pallets undergo a regulated heat-treatment process intended to meet applicable wood packaging requirements. Heat treatment may be required for international shipments under ISPM 15, depending on the shipment and destination.

Viking Pallet provides heat-treated pallet options. Confirm the applicable treatment, marking, and documentation requirements for your shipment before ordering.

Custom Wood Pallets

How to Choose the Right Wood Pallet

The best pallet depends on how your business stores, handles, and ships its products. Consider these factors before selecting a pallet:

Load capacity: Determine the expected load weight and how the weight is distributed.

Pallet dimensions: Match the pallet to your product and available storage space.

Operating conditions: Consider repeated use, storage conditions, and the demands of your supply chain.

  • Handling equipment: Consider forklift entry, pallet jack access, and warehouse procedures.

  • Shipping requirements: Check any applicable treatment or export requirements.

Viking Pallet can help you evaluate your requirements and discuss suitable pallet options.
