Types of Used Pallets You Can Buy

Grade A Pallets (Best Quality)

These look almost new. No broken boards. No repairs needed. Perfect for shipping or storage.

Grade B Pallets (Good Value)

Some boards might have small damage, but they still work fine. Great if you need pallets for storage or one-time shipping.

Standard Size

Most pallets are 40 inches by 48 inches. This size fits standard forklifts and works in most warehouses.

Services You Can Get

Free Pickup

Many companies will pick up your old pallets for free. This helps if you have pallets you want to get rid of.

Delivery

Most suppliers deliver to your location. Delivery usually costs extra but saves you time and truck space.

Custom Sizes

Some companies can modify standard pallets to fit your needs. This costs more but might be worth it for special projects.

How to Buy Smart

Start Small

Buy 10-20 pallets first to test quality and service. If you're happy, order more.

Check Before You Buy

Look at the pallets before paying. Check for:

  • Broken boards

  • Loose nails

  • Weak spots

  • Right size for your needs

Ask About Volume Discounts

If you need 50+ pallets, ask for a better price. Most suppliers offer discounts for large orders.

Special Requirements

Heat-Treated Pallets

If you ship internationally, you need special heat-treated pallets. These cost slightly more but meet shipping requirements.

Food-Safe Pallets

For food products, ask about food-safe pallets. These haven't carried chemicals or other unsafe materials.

Payment and Terms

Most companies accept:

  • Cash on pickup

  • Check with good credit

  • Business accounts with 15-30 day payment terms

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.
