Pallet components

You asked for a picture of stringer and block style pallets. Attached is a jpeg image. The image shows the terms for all components. These are both wood pallets, I don't have a plastic handy but could look if you want to add plastic.

We are working on a chart to differentiate between hardwoods and softwoods. I will forward after a few others trouble shoot it here.
