Wood Pallets for the Chemical Industry

Pallet grades generally include Grade A (premium used pallets in near-new condition with no broken parts), Grade B (sound used pallets with minor repairs), and Grade C (lower-quality pallets suitable for one-time use). New pallets are ungraded and offer the highest consistency. Remanufactured pallets are rebuilt to Grade A or B standards. The right grade depends on your load requirements and application.

Skid Management Services offers the industry-standard 48x40 inch GMA pallet, which is compatible with most warehouse racking and forklift systems used in chemical facilities. Custom sizes are also available for operations requiring non-standard dimensions, including block pallets designed to specific customer requirements.

New pallets are generally recommended for chemical industry applications as they offer a clean, consistent surface free from prior contamination or damage. However, remanufactured or recycled pallets that meet structural standards can be used for general warehouse storage. The choice depends on the nature of the chemicals, regulatory requirements, and your internal safety protocols.

A GMA pallet is a stringer-style 48x40 inch pallet conforming to Grocery Manufacturers Association specifications, widely used across industries for its standardized dimensions. A block pallet uses cylindrical wooden blocks instead of stringers, allowing four-way forklift entry, greater load capacity, and improved durability. Block pallets are often preferred in demanding industrial or chemical environments.
