Reliable Supply of New, Used & Custom Wooden Pallets
We maintain consistent inventory for warehouses, manufacturers, exporters, and retailers so you can get the right pallets without delays, even during lumber price spikes or supply chain disruptions.
- Plastic pallets for select applications where they can last longer than wooden pallets
- Heavy-duty 4-way entry block pallets for operations that need forklift access from all sides
Types of Wooden Pallets We Carry
- Custom sizes, including metric footprints for international trade and specific products
- Export pallets heat treated to ISPM-15 standards for international shipping
Custom Pallets and Skids Built to Spec
New pallets can be built to your specifications so pallets meet exact customer requirements and industry standards, which is critical when exporters or manufacturers need exact dimensions, wood grade, or treatment. We also build custom pallets and skids for oversized machinery, fragile equipment, or irregular loads, and our team can create solutions for a specific job or unusual handling problem. Re-manufactured pallets combine new and used components for a cost-effective middle ground, and plastic pallets suit hygiene-sensitive environments.
Stock for Seasonal Demand
Need more pallets during a seasonal rush? We keep stock on hand for companies that need a lot of pallets during seasonal spikes, including recurring orders and sudden volume surges.
Pallet costs add up fast when your business ships daily. Buying from a recycler lets you control those costs without sacrificing quality.
How Pricing Works
Recycled and refurbished pallets cost significantly less than new. Multiply that across hundreds of pallets a week and the savings are substantial. Every used pallet is graded, inspected, and repaired as needed, helping extend pallet life while helping reduce replacement costs and waste, so it holds up to everyday shipping and storage.
Sustainable Pallet Recycling & Waste Reduction
Pallet recycling keeps reusable materials out of BC landfills. For businesses working toward ESG goals, partnering with a dedicated recycler is one of the simplest wins available.
- No hidden fees: we confirm pricing, quantity, and delivery windows up front, and any pickup or delivery fee depends on your location
Our Recycling and Repair Process
How Recycled Pallets Lower Your Costs
Cost Savings Without Sacrificing Quality
We collect used or damaged pallets, sort them, and repair reusable ones with replacement boards and stringers. Scrap wood that can't be reused is processed into mulch or biomass. Wood pallets can cycle through multiple repair rounds, which extends the life of the material and reduces the need for new pallets.
- Pallets that match your shipping, racking, and export requirements mean fewer delays and rejected loads
Recycling your pallets with us gives you waste-reduction data you can reference in sustainability reports, which is good for the environment and your brand reputation.
Data for Your Sustainability Reporting
