Buy Used Gaylord Boxes in Kaysville, UT

The standard gaylord is 48" x 40" x 36", sized to sit on a GMA pallet. Full-height boxes run 48" x 40" x 48", half-height 48" x 40" x 24", and square boxes 48" x 48" x 36".

No standard ties a weight to a wall count, so a rating belongs to one box: Uline, for example, lists its 1,100# triple-wall 48" x 40" x 36" box at a 1,500-lb weight capacity. The maker's certificate or rated capacity for the specific box is the controlling number, so ask the seller for it when the listing does not state it.

New boxes have never been used. Like-new (1x) boxes were used once and have no tears, crushing, or water marks. Used boxes show wear but are structurally sound; compression and moisture lower capacity, so rate a used box by the manufacturer's certificate for that box, not by its wall count. Fair boxes have significant wear and are best for light, dry, one-way use.

Knocked-down flat, a 53-foot dry van carries 200 to 400 or more depending on wall count. Assembled on pallets it carries 20 to 22, one per floor position, because a filled box bulges past its pallet and needs clearance. Buy flat whenever you can assemble on site; the freight per box is roughly ten times lower.

Not on their own. Corrugated is not a food-contact surface, so buyers holding food, feed, or pharmaceutical product line a clean Grade A box with food-grade history with a food-grade poly liner sized to the box, 48" x 40" x 36" for a standard gaylord. A box that held a non-food load, or that sheds fiber or residue, is excluded even with a new liner. Listings state prior contents when known.
