About the company

Why we start with the empty pallet

A pallet is bought twice: once loaded, once empty. The loaded trip gets the attention, and the rating sheet is written for it. What a plant lives with is the empty trip: the stack in the corner, the return leg, the trailer that carries air. A nestable pallet's legs drop into the pallet below, so each one adds only its nest increment to the stack.

That is the whole idea of this company. We work across the United States by style: nestable, stackable, rackable, heavy duty and export. We start from the footprint and the three ratings, work out the empty-trailer count, and then take the request for a load.

What we will not claim

• We do not quote a rating as a promise. It is the maker's figure for a named model, and the maker confirms it.
• We do not call any pallet food-contact approved or fire rated. FDA does not approve pallet models, and FM or UL listing is per model.
• We do not print prices, minimum quantities, freight terms or lead times on this site.
• We do not print reviews, customer logos or staff profiles; none are needed to read a spec sheet.

Every page that quotes a figure links its source and shows when it was last reviewed. If a number is missing, we say it is missing.

Who it is for

Packaging and logistics engineers running a closed loop of one pallet size. Warehouse managers with racking. Export shippers choosing light pallets in the receiving footprint. Food, beverage and pharma buyers who need a washable pallet and a paper trail. Retail and 3PL teams consolidating styles. People who would otherwise read five maker spec sheets to compare one line.

How a request is handled

A person reads the request and checks it against the maker figures on file. The checks come in a fixed order: footprint first, because the container usually decides it; then the style, because nestable, stackable and rackable give up different things; then the rating that applies to how the pallet is used; and last the return leg, because empties cost trailers.

Anything we cannot support with a published figure is flagged as a question for the maker. We do not guess a rating, we do not claim a fire listing or a food-contact approval for any pallet, and we do not quote a price on this site.

1. Read the request and the footprint.
2. Match the style to the job.
3. Check the rating that applies against the load.
4. Count the empty return.
5. Reply with questions or a sourcing plan.

How the numbers are handled

Every figure on this site carries a source and a review date. Where a maker prints nothing, the page says "not printed" and leaves the gap, rather than borrowing a number from a neighbouring model. That habit costs some tidiness, since tables here have blanks, but it means a reader can trust the cells that are filled and knows exactly which questions remain open for the maker.

What this site covers

The site covers plastic pallets by style and by footprint: nestable, stackable, rackable, heavy duty and export, with the numbers makers publish for named models. It is a reading aid for people choosing a pallet, with a nest calculator for the empty trailer and a form for sending the footprint and the count.

Words on this page

Footprint

The length and width of a pallet deck. It is chosen to fit the container, the drum, the bag or the receiving rack.

Recycled content

The share of a pallet moulded from reground plastic. Makers print it as a range, often by colour.

Pallet pooling

A rental model where a company owns the pallets and moves them between customers, instead of each customer buying its own.

Racking load

The weight a pallet holds when it rests on two rack beams with an open gap between them. It is usually the lowest rating and only exists for pallets built for racks.

HDPE

High-density polyethylene, a tough resin used in many plastic pallets, valued for strength against its weight.

Nest ratio

How many empty pallets fit in the height of one: pallet height divided by nest increment.

Stretch wrap

Elastic film wound around a loaded pallet to hold the load together.

Nest increment

The extra height each additional empty pallet adds to a nested stack, measured in inches. A small increment means a short stack.
