Manufacturing Industry FAQs
Common questions about manufacturing pallet requests.
What load rating can I get?
Load ratings vary by design, so confirm with the supplier. Include your load weight, how it sits on the pallet, and whether the pallet will be racked, and the supplier can suggest a design.
Can I get pallets in custom dimensions?
Custom sizes are available through partner suppliers; ask in your request. Give the length, width, load weight, and handling equipment, and the supplier will quote it.
Is on-site pallet repair available?
Repair is available through partner suppliers; ask in your request. Say whether you want the work done at your site or elsewhere, and the supplier will tell you what it can do.
What is the difference between block and stringer pallets?
Stringer pallets use long boards running the length of the pallet and offer 2-way entry, or partial 4-way entry when notched. Block pallets use posts between the decks and offer 4-way entry, which makes them easier to handle from any side.
How long do custom orders take?
Timing depends on the supplier, the quantity, and the design. A partner supplier follows up on your request, so include any deadline and confirm it with them.
