A stringer pallet derives its name from the essential structural elements known as “stringers” that serve as the primary support for the unit load. These stringers typically consist of boards, often measuring 2 x 4 inches or 3 x 4 inches, securely positioned between the upper and lower deck boards. When specifying a stringer pallet, the convention is to indicate the length first, referring to the length of the stringer, followed by the width or length of the deckboards. This standardized notation ensures clear and precise communication when dealing with these pallets in various applications.
