A block pallet is a type of flat transport structure used to support materials and/or goods that are lifted or manipulated by material handling equipment such as forklifts, pallet jacks, or front loaders. It is a stronger type of pallet compared to stringer pallets and is constructed using both parallel and perpendicular stringers, which allows for more efficient handling. The design of block pallets allows pallet jacks to approach them from any side, making them also known as “four-way” pallets.
