Categorized by Deck Structure
Single-faced stringer pallet:Features a full deck only on the top surface, with the bottom supported by stringers; allows for limited four-way forklift entry and is suitable for standard one-way stacking and single-trip logistics.
Double-faced stringer pallet: Features identical deck structures on both the top and bottom surfaces; offers maximum overall strength and can be flipped for alternating use on both sides; suitable for high-frequency circulation and heavy-load stacking.
Categorized by Forklift Entry Method
Two-way entry stringer pallet:Forklift tines can only be inserted from two opposite sides; represents the most basic structural design-simple to manufacture and highly durable-and is the standard model in North America.
Four-way entry stringer pallet:Features "V"-shaped notches in the stringers to allow tine insertion from all four directions; compatible with automated handling equipment (though generally not suitable for manual pallet jacks); ideal for highly automated warehouse environments.
Categorized by Material
Solid wood stringer pallet: Made from natural timber such as poplar, pine, or mixed hardwoods; can undergo IPPC heat treatment or fumigation to meet export quarantine requirements; offers high load-bearing capacity at a moderate cost.
Fumigation-free plywood stringer pallet: Constructed from composite plywood; requires no additional fumigation or quarantine; complies with ISPM 15 international export standards; resistant to pests and moisture; ideal for cross-border logistics.
Metal stringer pallet:** Made from cold-rolled steel with a galvanized or powder-coated finish; offers exceptional load-bearing capacity (with some models supporting static loads of up to 6 tons); moisture-resistant, slip-resistant, and durable; suitable for heavy industry and high-cleanliness warehouse environments. Plastic Stringer-Style Pallet: Injection-molded from engineering plastics such as PP or PE, these pallets feature a structure with 4 to 6 stringers. They are waterproof, corrosion-resistant, and easy to clean, making them suitable for industries with strict hygiene requirements, such as food and personal care products.
