Question
What is the difference between Laminated timber and solid timber ‘wet-off-saw’ brick-making pallets?Answer(s)
Laminated timber brick making pallets are considered the 'Rolls Royce' of pallets (skid boards), due to the extended lifespan of the pallets. In favourable conditions, well maintained laminated brick pallets have been known to last up to 10 years in a brick yard. Typical usage is often between 5 and 8 years of production.
Solid timber, wet-off-saw brick making pallets (skids) use solid timber (usually Pine in Southern Africa) that is then held together and rigid using thread bar. These pallets cost less than laminated brick-making skids, but have a life cycle of between 6 months and 3 years.
Question
What is the difference between a Skid and a Pallet?Answer(s)
Usually these two terms are used interchangeably, but there is a difference.
A skid (a skid has no bottom deck boards), is a flat transport structure that supports goods in a stable fashion while being lifted by a forklift or pallet jack. A pallet does have bottom deck boards. So, technically speaking, 'brick making skid' is the correct term for brick production laminated and wet-off-saw boards, typically used in a brickyard or brickworks.

What is your guarantee?Answer(s)
If any boards de-laminate within 4 months, and there is no sign of mishandling, we will replace the boards
As boards are wearing products, Midlands Laminators cannot be held liable for normal wear and tear of the boards.
