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.

Economic Life- the number of trips the pallet will make over its lifetime, provided it is properly repaired, which maximizes the return on the investment.

Drive Screw Nails- used throughout for more durability, made specifically with dull points to minimize wood splits.

Butted Deckboard- an inner deckboard placed tightly against an adjacent lead deckboard during pallet assembly to reduce damage to the unit load caused when fork lift trucks or pallet ????

Hardwood- a wood from broad-leafed tree species (not necessarily hard in texture or dense).

Chamfered Deckboard- a deckboard with the edges of one or two faces beveled, either along the full or specified length of board or between the stringers or blocks, facilitating entry of pallet-jack wheels and tines of forklift trucks.

Deflection- the amount of flexural deformation of a pallet component due to the weight of an imposed load; sag.

Singe-Wing Pallet- a pallet with the top deckboards or deck extending beyond the outer edge of the stringers or stringboards and with the bottom deckboards or deck, if any, flush with the outer edges of the stringers or stringboards.

Double-Wing Pallet- a pallet with top and bottom deckboards or decks extending beyond the edges of the stringers or stringboards.

	A nonscientific destructive test burn was conducted by “The Arson Bureau of the NYS Office of Fire and Prevention and Control” And “The Town of Colonie Fire Prevention and Investigation Bureau” and their findings indicated: “Once ignited, the plastic pallets burned quicker and hotter than wooden pallets. Burning dripping plastic from these pallets pooled and burned on the floor under the pallets contributing to the growth of the fire. The sprinkler system was not effective in extinguishing this fire, necessitating use of a hand held 1 3/4 inch fire suppression line for final extinguishment."
		Plug Type Pallets Also referred to as Type 2 or B Grade.This pallet is the same as a 4-way notched stringer pallet; however, the stringers have been broken & repaired w/companion stringers or stringer parts.
		Double Face Non- Reversible Used for forklift and hand trucks.Chamfered edges allow for easy hand truck entry. A general purpose pallet.
