Wood Pallet Supplier & Recycling Services | Pennsylvania & Maryland Bulk Pallets

A: A GMA pallet is the 48×40-inch standard wooden stringer pallet used widely across grocery and consumer goods supply chains. A block pallet uses solid wood or composite blocks between the top and bottom decks instead of stringers, allowing four-way forklift entry and higher load capacity. Block pallets are common in European supply chains and for heavier industrial loads.

A: ISPM-15 is an international phytosanitary standard requiring wood packaging used in international shipments to be heat-treated or fumigated and marked with an authorized stamp. Any company exporting goods on wooden pallets outside the U.S. needs ISPM-15-certified pallets. Skid Management Services is an authorized stamping facility and can supply heat- treated export pallets for any international destination.

A: We work with operations of all sizes. Typical orders range from a single truckload (roughly 500 pallets) up to multi-truckload weekly programs. For very small orders, we can refer or coordinate through a partner network. Contact us with your volume and frequency to discuss the cright structure.

A: If your operation accumulates excess or broken pallets, we'll pick them up, sort and inspect them, and pay for the usable ones. Damaged pallets are repaired or repurposed. The result is recovered cash on pallets you'd otherwise pay to dispose of.

A: In a closed-loop program, we supply your pallets, track them through your supply chain, recover them at the receiving end, refurbish them, and redeliver them back into your inventory. This dramatically lowers total cost per pallet turn versus single-use models and is ideal foroperations shipping to consistent destinations.

A: For customers within our primary service area (Pennsylvania and Maryland metros), we offer next-day delivery on most standard pallet types in stock. Same-day is available for emergency orders depending on volume and location. ISPM-15 export pallets typically require 1–2 days of lead time depending on order size.

A: Grade A pallets are #1 quality recycled pallets — fully repaired, structurally sound, with all stringers and deck boards intact and free of major damage. Grade B pallets are #2 quality — functional and structurally usable but with minor cosmetic damage, repaired splits, or replaced boards. Grade A typically costs more and is preferred for customer-facing or retail shipments; Grade B is common in internal-use applications.

A: We can engineer custom pallets to almost any specification, including non-standard sizes, heavier-duty load ratings, four-way entry, and special wood species. Common custom requests include 36×36, 42×42, 60×40, and specialty sizes for automotive, machinery, and beverage

applications.
