Stringer pallets dominate US retail (GMA 48x40); block pallets dominate global export and rack storage.

Pallet delivery loaded trailer for warehouse supply

Construction Difference

Stringer pallets use 3-4 stringers (typically 2x4 lumber) running the full length, with deckboards nailed across them. Block pallets use 9 individual blocks at corners and intersections, with stringers running both directions, allowing 4-way fork entry from any side.

Entry Patterns

Stringer: 2-way or partial 4-way (notched). Block: full 4-way entry from all sides - preferred for warehouses with mixed approach angles.

Load Ratings

Stringer GMA 48x40: 4,600 lbs static, 2,800 lbs racked. Block 48x40: 5,500 lbs static, 3,800 lbs racked. Block wins for heavy industrial.

Cost

New stringer $11-18; new block $18-28. Block costs 50-70% more but offers superior racking, entry, and durability.

Best Use Cases

Stringer: US retail/grocery, Walmart/Target receiving, high-volume FMCG. Block: global export, automotive, heavy industrial, rack storage.
