Arrowhead Pallet Supplier - Block Pallets

Block Pallets (4-Way Entry) in Arrowhead, FL

Block pallets represent the premium tier of wood pallet construction. Unlike stringer pallets which have 3 long boards running the length of the pallet, block pallets use 9 solid wood blocks (3 rows of 3) to connect the top and bottom deck boards. This design provides true 4-way forklift entry from any side and significantly higher load capacity than standard stringer pallets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between block pallets and stringer pallets?

Stringer pallets use 3 long boards (stringers) running the length of the pallet, allowing only 2-way forklift entry. Block pallets use 9 solid wood blocks in a 3x3 pattern, allowing true 4-way entry from any side - including pallet jack access from all four sides. Block pallets also have higher load capacity and bottom deck boards that protect goods during transport.

Are block pallets required for pharmaceutical use in Arrowhead?

While not universally required, block pallets are strongly preferred in pharmaceutical warehousing for several reasons: true 4-way entry reduces handling time and damage risk, bottom deck boards prevent moisture contact, and solid block construction is easier to clean and inspect. Many pharmaceutical companies in Florida require block pallets as part of their GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards.

Can I get block pallets with ISPM-15 heat treatment for export from Arrowhead?

Yes, all our block pallets can be supplied with full ISPM-15 heat treatment certification for export from Arrowhead, Florida.
