The most common pallet used is the 48 X 40 4-way flush pallet or otherwise referred to as the GMA (Grocery Manufacturer Association) pallet. As these pallets move through their life cycle from a new pallet to a used pallet, there is a need to institute a method for determining where the pallet exactly is in its life cycle. K.L. Pallets method of grading is as follows:

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.

A Grade - Typically this is a GMA repaired 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.

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 or less repaired stringers. These pallets are not always consistent because they have been repaired many times.
