Spanish term

madera con raya

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Manufacturing Oil refinery instrumentation
It concerns tender specifications for electrical installations.
In the part of requiremets for transport and delivery of parts it says:
Las bandejas metálicas vendrán sobre palet de madera o *madera con raya* unido con fleje de hierro.
Any idea of what is the meaning of madera con raya?
Apreciaría mucho cualquier ayuda (creo que el español es de México).

Biged, You might be right. I'm tempted to use wooden skids. Many thanks.

Do you know if the corrugated pallet in Gene's link is made of wood of any sort? If so, that could be it. /// Checked, it's cardboard.
Gene Selkov Aug 21, 2010:
Leonardo, there are not too many kinds of materials that can be used to make pallets. This page lists all I can imagine: http://www.nefab.co.uk/Pallets.aspx

Plywood? It has a sort of "con raya" look in cross-section. Other than that, maybe it is a nonsense error.
Leonardo Lamarche (asker) Aug 21, 2010:
Christine, Many thanks Christine. No pictures. I haven't the slightest idea. Only that it could be used instead of a pallet. One of our Mexican colleagues might know. I am still hoping.
Christine Walsh Aug 21, 2010:
Hi, Leonardo Funny to see you asking instead of answering, and it's a real toughie. Any pictures? Could it possibly be some kind of tongue and groove structure, strengthened by a metal strip? Of course, I'm just guessing!

grooved boards, groove stock

http://www.palletenterprise.com/articledatabase/view.asp?art...
Troymill uses the Keystone cut-up line to make, among other products, *groove stock* that is used to stabilize and ship unit loads of pipe products. First, 6x6 cants are cut to the appropriate length. The material then goes through the two-head bandsaw to produce three pieces of 2x6. The rip saw resaws the material into 2x3, and hogger blades on the same saw arbor cut the grooves at the same time. This groove stock is used to hold metal banding or strapping. The customer places the grooved stock under and on top of the pipe products to form a load, and stabilizes the load with metal bands.

wood rails

Some sort of pallet made from wood 'rails' (or planks of wood) bound together with iron straps? (I'm thinking along the lines of a railroad)

"Place the two pieces of 2-by-32-by-¾-inch solid wood (sides) on the work table along with three of the five pieces of 2-by-20-by-¾-inch solid wood (rails)."
