Every wooden pallet is built in either 2-way or 4-way pallets [https://www.agriculture-solution.com/]. Let's take a deeper dive into these two and see what these are, so that way we can check out the differences. A pallet is a storing device that allows you to transport goods.

The first option of a pallet is a 2-way pallet [https://www.agriculture-solution.com/]. A 2-way entry pallet are pallets that have an entrance from two sides. Meaning that it can only be picked up in two ways by a forklift through those entry point(s). An entry point is a space between the boards on a pallet deck where a forklift can lift the pallet and relocate it if needed. A 4-way entry pallet are the same concept of pallets but instead of 2 entries, there are now 4.

When looking at 4-way pallets, you will notice "stringers." A stringer is a board on either side of the pallet and in the middle that runs from one end to the other and gives the pallet more support. These stringers will allow for more to be stacked on top of the pallets. Think about if you have a house, you need 4 walls to complete a house. The walls are essentially the "stringers" that make it complete. Without those 4 walls, you cannot complete the house and stack a roof on top.

Block pallets are a different type of pallet that incorporates blocks to support the deck, opposed to stringers. Block pallets are another type of 4-way pallet [https://www.agriculture-solution.com/] because the tines of a forklift or hand truck can enter the pallet on all four sides. Block pallets usually use about 4 to 12 blocks to help the top deck board into supporting it.

The difference between a stringer and block pallet is that stringers are connected throughout the whole pallet whereas the block is only connected in some parts to somewhat act as a "platform" for it.
