Abstract: A pallet system for maintaining a stack of substantially uniform workpieces in alignment with each other. The stack has at least three side planes defined by sides of the workpieces. The pallet system includes a pallet having a base, and a rigid stake and an adjustable stake projecting upwardly from the base. The base includes a frame supporting a plurality of base members for supporting the stack of workpieces. The rigid stake is adapted to locate a first side plane of the stack in a first predetermined position in relation to the base. The adjustable stake is adapted to locate a second side plane of the stack in a second predetermined position in relation to the base. The rigid stake is spaced from the adjustable stake so that the stack is located in a selected position on the base between the rigid stake and the adjustable stake.
