The land of Ooo or Pallet Town?

Answer:

The most common size stringer pallet, both, new and used is the 48 x 40 4-Way Flush pallet or otherwise referred to as the GMA (Grocery Manufacturer Association) pallet. Reconditioned GMA Grading Types: Premium ? A very clean pallet that has probably been used only a few times. There is little if any repairs to the pallet. The pallet will have no plates and no companion stringers. Grade #1 or A Grade ? Typically this is a GMA repaired to close to its original condition. Broken stringers may have been replaced or repaired with metal plates. All damaged deck boards are replaced. This is a fairly clean pallet that is structurally sound. Grade #2 or B Grade ? Typically this is a GMA, which has had stringer damage that has been repaired by attaching an additional stringer along side the damaged one. This is commonly referred to as a companion stringer, block stringer and double stringer. The B grade pallets usually have two (2) or less repaired stringers. The deck configuration on the B grade pallet is not always consistent because these pallets have been repaired many times. Grade #3 or C Grade ? Typically this is a GMA, which has been repaired numerous times. Most of the stringers on a C grade pallet will have companion stringers. The deck boards will be inconsistent in size, spacing and thickness. These pallets are usually in very poor condition and are accepted by few companies.
