Hi,
For bricks on a level pallet I believe the load should be uniformly distributed over the deck area and the load height should not exceed the longest base dimension of the pallet.

Are the bricks stacked up to be used by the brickies, or are they being stored in quantity?
It will depend on how they are stacked will they be in rows one on the other or alternating every other row to tie them in?
If pallets with banding or plastic wrapping in bulk no more than 3 pallets high.

Just for interest - I Googled unreinforced masonry. - Philadelphia's City Hall, completed in 1901, still holds claim as the world's tallest load-bearing masonry structure at 167 m (548 ft). Any advance on 548 ft?
But I guess you didn't mean stacked with cement?
