Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Grade B and higher grade pallets?

Grade B pallets are reconditioned pallets that show evidence of use, wear, discoloration, and previous repairs with metal plates or supporting blocks. While they maintain structural integrity and GMA compliance, they are the most cost-effective option suitable for applications where appearance is not critical.

Are Grade B pallets suitable for one-way shipments?

Yes, Grade B pallets are ideal for one-way shipments where pallets will not be returned or reused extensively. Their cost-effective nature makes them perfect for applications where functional performance matters more than aesthetic appearance.

Do you offer ISPM 15 heat treatment for international shipping?

Yes, we offer optional ISPM 15 heat treatment certification for international export requirements. Wood is heated to 56°C for minimum 30 minutes to meet international phytosanitary standards for cross-border shipments.

What is the minimum load capacity for Grade B pallets?

Our Grade B pallets meet the GMA standard minimum load capacity of 2,500 lbs. Despite their reconditioned status, they maintain structural integrity for most general shipping and storage applications.
