Cold Chain Pallet Shippers: Optimal Solutions for Shipping

Yes, our ISPM-15 heat-treated pallets are kiln-dried to 56C/132.8F core for at least 30 minutes, meeting IPPC international phytosanitary standards. Each pallet carries the required stamp with IPPC logo, country code, treatment provider ID, and HT code, preventing rejection at port-of-entry for shipments to Canada, the EU, China, Mexico, and beyond.

Absolutely. We build custom pallets to exact dimensions, load ratings, lumber grades, and construction types to fit refrigerated trailers, cold storage racking, and specialized cold chain packaging. Whether you need non-standard footprints like 42x42 or 48x42, or unique block and stringer configurations, our team designs solutions tailored to your equipment and workflow requirements.

Block pallets use corner and center wood blocks connecting top and bottom deckboards, allowing four-way forklift entry and greater stacking strength, ideal for automated cold storage systems. Stringer pallets use solid wood stringers for support, typically offering two-way or partial four-way entry. Both are available in our GMA, custom, and heavy-duty configurations.

Used and remanufactured wood pallets can be a cost-effective option for internal warehouse handling and domestic cold chain distribution where export compliance is not required. They undergo inspection and repair before resale to ensure structural integrity. For international or export-bound cold chain shipments, new ISPM-15 heat-treated pallets are recommended to meet phytosanitary requirements.

Our heavy-duty 48x48 pallets support 2,500-3,000+ lb dynamic loads, ideal for drums, IBC totes, and bulk chemical or food ingredient shipments. 44x44 pallets are sized specifically for 275- and 330-gallon IBC totes. For standard cold chain cartons and cases, GMA 48x40 pallets provide dependable support for typical warehouse and transport loads.
