Model Drawings
To assist members presentations to customers we provide below a series of 3-D line drawings of popular pallet designs that can be downloaded in MS/Word. It is sometimes difficult for a customer to picture what is being discussed and a drawing can avoid confusion. For example the term pallet 'bearer' in Europe is also sometimes called a 'runner' but in North America it is always called a 'stringer'.
Stillage
The downloads below enable you to quickly change drawing size, type in your company name and add component details, there is no restriction as to usage, however, if you use them on your website then we request you give a credit to PalletLink.
The illustration shown right, of a stillage, is an example of how understanding of a subject can be greatly helped by an illustration. A stillage is not a pallet because it does not satisfy the essential rules for materials handling defined in ISO 6780. For example it cannot be lifted by a pedestrian truck made to ISO 509 (it is too high), it cannot be stacked safely because of its lack of (needs minimum 35%) bottom deck area and finally it is not an ISO 6780 authorised plan size, so it will not make the best use of shipping space in a freight container. (Other non-standard handling platforms such as the stevedore pallet and skid pallet we class as export packing items and we cover these in our page CONTAINERS/EXPORT CASES.
EN and ISO have a series of International pallet and packaging terminology standards. These are listed on our PUBLISHED STANDARDS page. If you need foreign language translation the best guide we have found for identifying individual parts of a pallet is the 12 language document (including Japanese and Korean) published by Dr George Stern of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VPI) in the USA.
