WAREHOUSE PALLETS 101 #DELGATE #LOGISTICS #CANADA

In our operations, we primarily use Trier pallets, which regularly measure 48 by 24 inches. However, at times, we need to incorporate block pallets due to certain heavier items that we receive and wrap. Despite this occasional need for block pallets, our mainstay remains the stringer pallets for receiving and storage purposes.

We typically do not require a specific type of pallet, which allows us the flexibility to mix standard and block pallets alongside CH-standard pallets. Different contracts, such as those with Costco, necessitate the use of various kinds of pallets to cater to specific requirements.

It’s important to note the differences between these pallets:

Block Pallets: These are wider and designed for heavy-duty products. They are much thicker in comparison to stringer pallets.
Stringer Pallets: These are the usual standard size and are generally thinner compared to block pallets.
CH Pallets: These fall under a specific standard size used for various contracts and logistic requirements.

Understanding the type of pallets used in operations is crucial for effective logistics and storage management.
