Stringer pallets are one of the original models of wooden pallets. They use a frame of three or more parallel pieces of timber (called stringers)
Block pallets utilize both parallel and perpendicular stringers to better facilitate efficient handling. A block pallet is also known as a "4-Way" Pallet
Stringer pallets can have a notch cut into them allowing "4-Way" entry. Forklifts can lift a stringer Pallet from all four directions, though lifting by the stringers is more secure.
Boxes and Crates are not the same. If the sheathing of the container (plywood, lumber, etc.) can be removed, and a framed structure will remain standing, the container would likely be termed a crate.
If removal of the sheathing resulted in there being no way of fastening the lumber around the edges of the container, the container would likely be termed a wooden box.
The strength of a wooden box is rated based on the weight it can carry before the cap (top, ends, and sides) is installed. "Skids" or thick bottom runners, are sometimes specified to allow forklift trucks access for lifting.
Performance is strongly influenced by the specific design, type of wood, type of fasteners (nails, etc.), workmanship, etc.
