Pallet Basics

Most pallet decisions come down to a few details: the size that fits your racking and trucks, the condition you need, and whether the pallets will travel internationally.

If you are new to pallets, start with the GMA 48x40 inch size, decide whether stringer or block construction suits your handling equipment, and check whether you need two-way or four-way entry.

Common questions about products

What pallet sizes can I request?

Common sizes include 48x40 (GMA), 48x48, 42x42, 36x36, 48x42, and 40x48 inches. The 48x40 GMA pallet is the size most US businesses ask for. Availability depends on the supplier.

What is the difference between Grade A, B, and C pallets?

As common descriptions, Grade A pallets show little wear, Grade B pallets show more wear and may have repairs, and Grade C pallets are the most worn. Grading varies by supplier, so ask how a supplier defines each grade.

What are ISPM 15 heat-treated pallets?

ISPM 15 is an international standard for wood packaging. Heat treatment means reaching a minimum core temperature of 56 °C for at least 30 continuous minutes, and treated wood carries the IPPC wheat-mark stamp with the HT code. Check current regulations for your destination.

Can I request custom size pallets?

Yes. Send your dimensions and how the pallets will be used, and we pass the request to a partner supplier. Availability depends on the supplier.
