What is the difference between a wood crate and a wood pallet?
A pallet is a flat platform that supports cargo from below. A crate fully encloses cargo on all sides, including top, bottom, and all four walls. Crates are used when cargo needs protection from weather, impact, compression, or theft - common for machinery, electronics, precision instruments, and high-value goods. We supply both pallets and crates to Stuart businesses from the same operation.
