Wooden Pallets for Cans & Soda | Beverage Industry

Wooden pallets can be used safely in food and beverage applications including cans and soda when they are properly maintained and sourced from a reputable supplier. New wood pallets are ideal for direct food contact adjacency, while heat-treated options meet international phytosanitary standards. Skid Management Services supplies pallets suited to food and beverage industry requirements.

A GMA pallet is a stringer-style pallet conforming to Grocery Manufacturers Association specifications, typically 48x40 inches, widely used in grocery and beverage distribution. A block pallet uses cylindrical wooden blocks instead of stringers, offering four-way forklift entry and generally greater load-bearing strength, making it ideal for heavier or specialized beverage applications.
