Choosing this construction
Runner dimensions are one part of pallet design. Heavier sections may be considered for a particular support span or point-load arrangement, but a runner specification alone does not establish complete pallet performance.
Specify the support span
Record where the pallet is supported on forks, floors, racks or conveyors. Include cargo contact locations and any dynamic handling requirements. Give the designer the information needed to evaluate boards, runners and connections together.
A practical specification example
A buyer replacing a failed runner with a larger piece may change dimensions, entry or treatment status. Route that change through the supplier’s design and compliance process. Do not turn an improvised repair into a new standard specification without review.
Treatment and marking for the finished packaging
Tell us where the goods are being packed and their final destination. Include collars, blocking and other raw timber used with the base. Ask for the treatment and marking requirement to be confirmed for the offered construction. Neither entry type, footprint nor new condition is proof of ISPM 15 compliance. Changes after the packaging is supplied should be referred back to the responsible provider.
Request a quotation for the actual job
Send dimensions or a drawing, quantity, cargo weight and support points, handling method and delivery postcode. Add the packing deadline and unloading arrangements. Product design, supply, price and delivery are confirmed against the enquiry. You can contact the team directly; the optional brief builder is available if you want help organising those details.
