A block pallet is a unit load platform raised on four or nine timber or plastic blocks, creating entry openings on all four sides so that a forklift or pallet jack can engage from any direction. This four-way entry is the defining feature that sets block pallets apart from two-way stringer pallets, which only permit fork access from two sides. The block construction delivers solid stability under heavy or bulky loads and supports multi-tier stacking in warehouse environments. Block pallets are a standard component of pallet pooling systems such as EPAL, with dimensions and load ratings governed by national and international standards.
