They use solid blocks of timber to support the full load. Typically, four way block pallets uses four to twelve blocks to support the top deckboards. between the blocks and the deckboards are thin stringers, which form a mat with the deckboard. Like in a stringer pallet, the length of a block pallet, is specified by the length of the stringer board and the width by the length of the deckboard. An advantage of using a 4 way block pallet, to name one, is that they can be lifted from all sides without limitation or strain on a particular area. The pallet is designed to be symmetrical given it’s 1:1 ratio in length to width.

They break down into three basic elements: the deck boards, the bearers at each side and the bottom base boards. Usually, two way pallets are more economical to manufacture and often provide greater strength and durability than the common four way block pallet. Their key limitation is related to the lack of flexibility with regards to pallet entry, making full space utilization more of a challenge when loading freight vehicles or in warehouses or other distribution facilities. The key advantage of using two way bearer pallets is their direct strength & durability, which may be beneficial enough to compromise the utilization; allowing for only two way entry as opposed to four way.

Pallets conforming to the standardization are eligible for the European Pallet Pool (EPP) - the system allows for an exchange as “pallet for pallet”. The EUR/EPAL - pallet is 1200 by 800 by 144 millimetres. it is a four way block pallet made of wood that is nailed with 78 special nails in a prescribed pattern. Whilst this pallet is similar to the four way block pallet. the euro pallet conforms with the above dimensions with a margin of error of 3 millimetres. Please note: we can make mock Euro Pallets (that are identical to the Euro/EPAL pallets), however at present we are not licensed to make the stamped Euro EPAL pallets.

Typically you will find the 4 Way Block Pallets & 2 Way Bearer Pallets are modified to enact heavy duty weights. Our Heavy Duty Pallets usually come with 22mm thick timber, and depending on the required load can come with double deck of various cross sections, cross bonded, i.e.16mm x 2 or 22mm x 2. We can also double base them too for extra strength.

Depending on the weight of the load, the pallet is either designed with less deck boards to minimise weight & control balance, or the cross section is reduced, reducing weight and cost.

This case is used when the requirement is to distribute the weight evenly. Cases can be made with loose sides and tops for easier loading. This case can only be picked up by the front and back. These type of cases are usually used for long applications. The timber case can be built with or without a lid. These cases can be heavy duty or lightweight.

The case can come with (typically) 9 blocks on the base of the case, with base boards similarly built to the 4 Way Block Pallet. One of the main reasons behind using a 4 Way Timber Case is to provide good manoeuvrability, allowing the case to be lifted from all sides depending on the dimensions of the case.

The 2 Way Bearer Crate however does lower the manoeuvrability of the crate, solely due to only being able to be lifted from two sides.

The strength of the crate is good, and can be moderated by changing the size of the blocks used. The 4 Way crate can also be built with different thickness timber to allow for stronger sides, to match the strength of the base.

The Light Weight Crate is built with thinner timber, typically the timber used has a thickness of 16mm. A large portion of our clients that use Light Weight Crates use them to reduce the weight of their load for sea & air transport. Another benefit of using the crate as opposed to a pallet for transport, is the security of visibility; the crate effectively distorts the contained items as opposed to stacking with pallets.
