How to Buy Used Pallets in Derry, NH - Save Money on Your Shipping Needs

What You'll Learn

You'll discover where to buy quality used pallets in Derry, understand the different grades available, and learn how to get the best prices for your business needs.

Why Buy Used Pallets?

Used pallets cost much less than new ones. You can save 50-70% while still getting pallets that work perfectly for shipping and storage. Plus, you're helping the environment by reusing materials.

Where to Find Used Pallets in Derry

Local Options

Derry has several pallet suppliers who buy and sell used pallets. You can pick up pallets directly or have them delivered to your location.

RePackify keeps about 2,000 pallets in stock in Derry. They get around 5,000 new pallets each month. You need to order at least 350 pallets, and they can deliver a full truck (616 pallets) if you need that many.

What's Available

Most pallets you'll find are the standard 48x40 size. This is what most businesses use because:

  • Forklifts can pick them up from all four sides

  • They fit standard warehouse spaces

  • They hold 2,000-3,000 pounds safely

Understanding Pallet Grades

Think of pallet grades like used car conditions - they tell you what to expect.

Grade A (Premium Used)

These look almost new. They have:

  • All boards intact

  • No major repairs

  • Maybe some small scratches

  • Best for customer-facing areas or retail

Example: A retail store displaying products would choose Grade A pallets because they look professional.

Grade B (Standard Used)

These show their age but work fine. They might have:

  • Some replaced boards

  • Metal patches or repairs

  • Visible wear marks

  • Perfect for warehouse storage

Example: A warehouse storing inventory would use Grade B pallets because function matters more than appearance.

Current Prices in Derry

Used pallets in Derry average $7.55 each. This is higher than some nearby cities, but you're paying for convenience and local availability.

You might find deals as low as $2.00 per pallet for basic 2-way entry pallets, but expect to buy 500+ at once.

Price factors:

  • Grade (A costs more than B)

  • Quantity (more pallets = lower price per unit)

  • Delivery distance

  • Current supply and demand

How to Buy

Minimum Orders

Most suppliers want you to buy at least 350 pallets at once. This makes sense because:

  • Delivery trucks are expensive to run

  • Small orders aren't profitable

  • You get better prices with bigger orders

Delivery Options

Many suppliers deliver free if you order enough pallets. Delivery usually happens Monday through Friday, 6am to 5pm.

Pro tip: Plan ahead. Don't wait until you're almost out of pallets to order.

Pickup Options

You can often pick up pallets yourself if you have the right truck. This might save you money, especially for smaller orders.

Additional Services You Might Need

Pallet Removal

If you have old, broken pallets taking up space, many suppliers will pick them up for free when they deliver new ones.

Heat Treatment

If you ship internationally, you might need ISPM 15 certified pallets. These are heat-treated to kill insects and meet international standards.

Custom Sizes

While 48x40 is standard, you can sometimes get other sizes like 42x42 or 40x40 if you need them.

Making the Right Choice

Ask yourself these questions:

Will customers see these pallets? (Choose Grade A)

Do you need them to look good? (Choose Grade A)

Are they just for storage? (Grade B saves money)

How many do you need? (More = better prices)

Can you store a full truck load? (Best deals come in bulk)

Getting Started

Before you call suppliers:

Count how many pallets you use per month

Measure your storage space

Decide on grade based on your needs

Set your budget

When you call:

  • Ask about current inventory

  • Get delivery timeframes

  • Confirm minimum orders

  • Ask about pickup services for old pallets

The Bottom Line

Buying used pallets in Derry is straightforward once you know the basics. Start with understanding your needs, choose the right grade, and buy in quantities that make sense for your business. You'll save money while getting pallets that do the job perfectly.

Remember: the goal is finding pallets that work for your specific situation, not necessarily the cheapest or most expensive option.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard pallet size?

The North American standard is the GMA pallet at 48" x 40", and it is what most pallet listings on Repackify are. The other common footprints are 42" x 42" (telecom and paint), 48" x 48" (drums), 48" x 45" (automotive), and the 1200 x 800 mm Euro pallet.

How much does a pallet weigh?

An empty 48" x 40" wood pallet weighs 30 to 48 lbs. A 48" x 48" drum pallet weighs 55 to 70 lbs and a 24" x 40" half pallet 18 to 25 lbs. Block pallets sit at the heavy end of each range because they carry up to twelve blocks instead of three stringers.

How much weight can a used pallet hold?

There is no single figure: capacity depends on the design, the load and how the pallet is supported, and a pallet's grade records its repairs, not a rating. The NWPCA Pallet Design System rates one 48x40 hardwood stringer design at 9,602 lbs on the floor, 3,174 lbs racked across its length and 2,855 lbs racked across its width, under an evenly spread load. Ask the seller for a Pallet Design System or ISO 8611 rating when a load comes near those figures, and never load a pallet with a cracked stringer or missing board.

What do Grade A, Grade B, and Grade C pallets mean?

Grade A is like-new with no repaired boards and full structural integrity. Grade B has moderate wear and may carry a repaired stringer or replaced deck board (1 or 2 repairs). Grade C is heavily used with visible damage and suits light-duty or one-way shipping. Grades describe observed condition and repairs, not remaining trips; inspect before every reuse. Cores are damaged or end-of-life pallets valued for their lumber, priced per ton or per truckload; a worn but repairable pallet is graded C, not a core.

What is the difference between stringer and block pallets?

A stringer pallet is built on 2 or 3 parallel boards and is 2-way or partial 4-way entry; it is the cheaper of the two. A block pallet uses 4 to 12 blocks, gives true 4-way forklift and pallet-jack entry, and is the stronger choice for racking and export.

How many pallets fit in a 53-foot truck?

A 53-foot dry van has a 52'6" x 98.5" floor and about 110" of clear height. Loaded straight, 48" x 40" pallets sit 40" across (2 x 40" = 80") and 48" deep, 630" / 48" = 13 rows, for 26 stacks; pinwheeled in 88" four-stack blocks, 630" / 88" = 7 blocks, 28 stacks; turned 48" across (2 x 48" = 96") and 40" deep, 630" / 40" = 15 rows, 30 stacks, the least stable pattern. Empty stringer pallets are about 5" thick, so stacks run 20 to 22 high (100" to 110") built inside a true 110" trailer, and 23 only on 4.75" stock; a stack pre-built at the dock must clear the 105" rear door, so band 20 or 21 and finish the column inside. Ordinary loads are 26 to 30 stacks x 20 to 22 = 520 to 660; 24 stacks x 20 = 480 when weight or thick stock caps the load; 30 turned stacks x 23 on thin stock is 690. Carriers quote 480 to 680.

Who buys used pallets, and what do they pay?

Pallet recyclers and brokers pay by grade for 48" x 40" pallets at volume: roughly $4 to $8 for Grade A, $2 to $5 for Grade B, $0.50 to $2 for repairable Grade C, and $0.25 to $1 for cores, the damaged pallets worth only their lumber ($30 to $60 a ton), with free pickup once the lot fills a truck (480 to 680 pallets). Below a full truckload the seller usually delivers or pays the freight. Clean Grade A and Grade B pallets sold direct to an end user bring more than a recycler pays, which is why sellers list them on Repackify instead of calling a recycler.

Do used pallets need an ISPM-15 stamp?

Only for export. Domestic shipments do not need heat treatment, but any solid-wood pallet leaving the country must carry the ISPM-15 mark with an approved treatment code (HT, DH, MB or SF), so check each listing's specifications before buying pallets for international loads. A repair with an untreated board voids the mark until the pallet is re-treated and re-stamped, so on a repaired Grade B pallet confirm the replaced board was heat treated, not just that an old stamp is present.
