Cold-Storage Pallets

Kiln-dried and heat-treated pallet options for refrigerated and frozen beverage environments, helping manage moisture exposure, condensation, and structural demands across the cold chain.

Export Pallets

ISPM-15 heat-treated pallets and stamp-verification support for international beverage shipments, helping protect your freight from delays or rejection related to wood-packaging requirements.

Custom Shipping Crates

Tailored Load Solutions

Built for Demanding Beverage Loads

Beverage distribution places unusual demands on wood packaging: dense liquid loads, moisture exposure, repeated forklift handling, and tight warehouse schedules. Skid Management Services helps you specify pallets and crates that fit the job, from 36x36 beer pallets and heavy-duty builds to kiln-dried cold-storage stock and ISPM-15 export options. With broad supplier coverage and dependable inventory, your operation can protect product flow without overbuying packaging.
