The frame of a block pallet is made of three stringer boards supported by blocks of wood (see illustration). Most block pallets have nine blocks: one at each corner, one on each side, and one in the center of the pallet. Most block pallets are true four-way pallets, meaning they permit forklift and pallet truck entry on all four sides. Both stringer and block pallets usually have a series of bottom boards underneath the frame. Pallets with the same number of boards on the top and bottom are called reversible pallets, as they can be used with either side up. Pallets with no bottom boards are known as skids.

Specs - Pallet Basics
Pallets, the base of most modern materials handling systems, do more than carry loads. Applied correctly, they can also protect their loads—as well as the supply chains through which they travel.
You probably see them every day. However, the more you see something, the more you tend to take it for granted. Take pallets, for example. Simply, a pallet is a portable platform, usually made of wood, which facilitates the movement and storage of unitized goods. However, do you know how pallets help protect products from damage? We’ll get into that, but first a bit more about pallet origins.
Stacking goods on pallets and moving those pallets with lift trucks became a popular handling technique of the U.S. military during World War II. The technique spread rapidly after the war, and today the pallet is a fundamental component of most modern materials handling systems.
