Where to Buy Wood Pallets
Choose your pallet supplier based on footprint, treatment requirements, and pallet grade. Combine the options below to source pallets at the price and quality your lane demands.
Buy direct from manufacturers
- PalletOne: New 48×40, custom builds, and heat-treated export pallets.
- Kamps Pallets: Network of US plants with combo (new + recycled) builds.
- CHEP & PECO: Offer pooled pallets; great for high-volume programs when you prefer rental models.
Specify HT requirements and confirm lead times—new builds can take 1–3 weeks.
Source from recycled pallet yards
- Buy Grade A/B 48×40 pallets for cost savings and immediate availability.
- Many recyclers offer repair-and-return programs for closed loops.
- Confirm grading standards and request pictures before pickup.
Marketplaces & spot buys
- 48forty Solutions Exchange: Digital marketplace for pallet lots.
- Facebook Marketplace / Craigslist: Useful for small batches—inspect before purchase.
- Local auctions: Warehouse closures often liquidate pallet inventory.
Use the wooden pallet dimensions guide to confirm sizes before buying odd lots.
FAQ
How do I request heat-treated pallets?
Specify ISPM 15 HT on your PO. Suppliers will brand pallets with the HT mark and supply certificates if needed.
Are recycled pallets safe for export?
Yes, if they carry a legible HT stamp. Inspect each pallet before loading.
