pallet - a portable,
horizontal, rigid, composite platform used as a base for assembling, storing,
stacking, handling, and transporting goods as a unit load, often equipped with a
superstructure
Pallet
Design System (PDS) - a reliability-based
computer-assisted design CAD program for wood pallets for determination of the
safe load-carrying capacity, performance and economic life of wood
pallets
pallet size - overall dimension of
a pallet stated in terms of length followed by width and height; for example, a
48" x 40" pallet is 48" long and 40" wide; has 48" stringers or stringerboards
and 40" deckboards
pallet
jack -
hand-propelled, wheeled platform contrivance equipped with a lifting device for
moving palletized unit loads
pallet
life -
the period during which the pallet remains useful under given maintenance
conditions, expressed in units of time or in the number of one-way movements of
the pallet

panel-deck pallet - pallet constructed
with composite or structural panel deck or decks
partial four-way stringer pallet - a stringer pallet
with notched stringers and block pallet with overlapping bottom stringerboard
and deckboards
quality - consistent
performance of a uniform product meeting the customer's needs for economy and
function, normally represented in terms of conformance to predetermined, agreed
standards
racked
across deckboards (RAD) - output of the PDS
evaluation software describing the maximum load-carrying capacity and deflection
of a wood pallet and its decks, where the warehouse racking frame supports the
pallet only as the deckboard ends
racked
across stringers (RAS) - output of the PDS
software evaluation describing the maximum load-carrying capacity and deflection
of a wood pallet and its decks, where the warehouse racking frame supports the
pallet only at the stringer or stringerboard ends
repaired pallet - pallet with damaged
components replaced with new or recycled components, in order to reuse
it
recycled pallet - a pallet that has
been used, discarded, salvaged, repaired, or rebuilt in order to pass through
another cycle or cycles of use ... environmentally
responsible
returnable/reusable paIlet - a pallet designed to
be used for more than one trip; multiple-use
pallet

reversible pallet - a pallet with
identical or similar top and bottom decks, to allow either one to support the
unit load
