This invention falls within the scope of pallets, more specifically pallet blocks, which form the base of a pallet or which are arranged between two platforms of a pallet, allowing the entry of forks from forklifts and other mechanisms of handling and stowing in warehouse, means of transport and containers. It is thus the object of this invention a pallet block (3) comprising a core (1) of wood particleboard and an outer layer (2) of wood fibreboard, the outer layer (2) at least partially coating the core (1), and the assembly formed by the core (1) plus the outer layer (2) being obtained by subjecting it to pressure. This enables a pallet block (3) to be obtained allowing high weights to be supported, without the whole block (3) being comprised of wood fibreboard, and with characteristics of robustness, thus avoiding the need for gluing between the elements.
A pallet block (3) comprising a core (1) of wood particleboard and an outer layer (2) of wood fibreboard, the outer layer (2) at least partially coating the core (1), and wherein the core (1) and the outer layer (2) are subjected to pressure to form an unitary structure assembly formed as one, in which the outer layer (2) has a tubular configuration and the core (1) is formed inside the outer layer (2), such that the pallet block is dimensioned for placement at individual and spaced-apart locations along a length of a pallet.
A pallet comprising at least one platform and at least four blocks (3), each block (3) comprising a core (1) of wood particleboard and an outer layer (2) of wood fibreboard, the outer layer (2) at least partially coating the core (1), wherein the core (1) and the outer layer (2) are subjected to pressure to form an unitary structure assembly formed as one, in which the outer layer (2) has a tubular configuration and the core (1) is formed inside the outer layer (2), such that the pallet block is dimensioned for placement at individual and spaced-apart locations along a length of a pallet, the blocks (3) being attached in a periphery of one same face of the platform.
