The words “stringer” and runner” can be used interchangeably. They are used to describe the pieces of the pallet that separate the top and bottom deck of a pallet that allow for material handling equipment (typically a fork lift or pallet jack) to move a pallet around.
Many, but not all, stringer pallets are designed to be reused, especially when properly engineered to do so. The reusability of a stringer pallet is highly dependent on the conditions that they were in befor. As with any previously used pallet, we highly recommend only pallets that have gone through a professional inspection and repair process to ensure that the pallet is safe to reuse for shipping and handling your products.
While these terms are often used interchangeably, they are not the same thing. When describing the size of a stringer pallet, the total length of the stringer is listed first, then the length of the top deck board is listed second. So, a 48×40 pallet would have a 48” long stringer and a 40” top deck board, while a 40×48 would be the opposite. Most often, people are looking for a 48×40 stringer pallet as this is the most common size used in the United States. 40×48 pallets are used by many companies, but far less frequently.
