Heat Treated Pallet Manufacturer in Maryland

We supply all standard GMA sizes including 48x40, 48x48, 42x42, 44x44, 36x36, and Euro-size, plus specialty sizes like 48x42 for chemical and telecom applications. Custom export-spec builds are also available to match unique load dimensions, drum configurations, or IBC tote handling requirements.

Compliant pallets carry a stamp with four required elements: the IPPC two-leaf logo, the ISO country code, a unique treatment provider ID number, and a treatment-method code (HT for heat treatment, or DB if debarked). Verifying these four marks confirms the pallet meets international phytosanitary requirements before shipment.

Non-compliant wood packaging can be rejected at the port of entry, returned to the exporter at their own cost, fumigated at the destination, or destroyed outright. These outcomes cause shipment delays, added expenses, and potential contract or customer relationship damage, making upfront compliance essential for any international shipper.

Yes, custom export-spec pallets are available beyond standard GMA dimensions. Our team works with your specifications for load size, weight capacity, and stringer or block construction, then routes the build through our USDA APHIS-recognized treatment network to ensure full ISPM-15 stamping compliance.

Stringer pallets use parallel wood boards for support and are typically two-way entry, while block pallets use corner and center blocks allowing four-way forklift entry for greater handling flexibility. Block construction generally offers higher load stability for heavy industrial and chemical applications, while stringer pallets are a cost-effective standard choice.

Yes, our 48x48 pallets are sized to hold four 55-gallon drums in a 2x2 configuration and support 2,500-3,000+ lb dynamic loads, with ISPM-15 heat treatment available for export-bound chemical shipments.
