A perimeter-based pallet, often referred to as a Grade 1 perimeter base pallet, is a type of pallet characterized by its construction. It typically measures 1200 x 1000mm and is suitable for heavy-duty lifting, capable of supporting up to one tonne. The design includes a flush perimeter base, which means that the edges of the pallet are flat and even, making it more stable and suitable for heavy goods. This design also allows for 4-way entry, meaning that forklifts and pallet trucks can access it from all four sides​​. The construction of perimeter-based pallets involves large blocks with top boards placed closely together. This configuration is particularly advantageous for storage in racking systems because the base of the pallet sits flush with the surface it is placed on, which can enhance stability and load-bearing capacity​​. Furthermore, the bottom of these pallets is designed so that all five bottom boards are in contact with the floor, providing a stable and even foundation for the pallet. This design is optimal for automated systems and racking systems. It ensures that the pallet sits flat and steady, minimizing the risk of tipping or unevenness that could potentially lead to damage to the goods or the pallet itself​​. Lastly, Grade 1 perimeter base wooden pallets are described as the highest quality available. They are made from top-quality, kiln-dried timber, ensuring durability and longevity. These pallets are built to strict specifications, which is critical for maintaining consistent quality and performance, especially when used for the transportation and storage of heavy goods​​.
