Let me show you exactly how to buy them the right way.
How to Buy Smart: Your Step-by-Step Process
Step 1: Know What You Need
Before you call anyone, figure out:
How many pallets you need
What size (most common is 48x40 inches)
Weight they need to hold
Will they go on racks or just stack on the floor?
Step 2: Check Pallet Quality
Good suppliers grade their pallets:
- Grade A
Look almost new, no cracks
- Grade B
Some wear but still strong
- Grade C
Cheaper but may have cosmetic damage
Always ask to see photos or visit in person for large orders.
Step 3: Compare Prices
Prices depend on:
Pallet condition
How many you buy
Delivery distance
Example: 100 Grade A pallets might cost $12 each, while 500 could be $10 each.
Step 4: Negotiate the Deal
Most suppliers will work with you on:
Volume discounts
Delivery costs
Return policy for damaged pallets
Payment terms
Don't be afraid to ask. The worst they can say is no.
What to Watch Out For
Red Flags When Buying
Supplier won't let you inspect pallets
No clear grading system
Prices that seem too good to be true
No return policy for defective pallets
Common Problems to Avoid
- Cracks
Small cracks can become big problems under weight
- Warping
Bent pallets don't stack properly
- Chemical stains
Could mean contamination
- Missing parts
Broken corners or ribs weaken the whole pallet
Getting Your Pallets Delivered
Most Marietta suppliers deliver within 24-48 hours. Here's how it works:
Place your order
Supplier loads pallets on a truck
Driver delivers to your location
You inspect and sign for delivery
Delivery costs usually run $50-150 depending on distance and pallet count.
Storing Your Used Pallets
Keep them in good shape with these simple steps:
Indoor storage is best - Protects from weather damage
Stack carefully - Don't go higher than manufacturer recommends
Rotate your stock - Use older pallets first
Check regularly - Remove damaged ones before they cause problems
The Money Side: Real Savings Examples
Let's say you need 200 pallets for your warehouse:
- New plastic pallets
200 × $22 = $4,400
- Used Grade A pallets
200 × $12 = $2,400
- Your savings
$2,000
That's enough to cover delivery costs and still put $1,800+ back in your budget.
Rules and Regulations You Should Know
Good news: Plastic pallets are easier than wood pallets when it comes to rules.
No heat treatment required for shipping
Easier to clean for food products
Meet FDA standards when properly cleaned
No insect treatment needed
Your supplier should handle all the cleaning and certification.
Making Used Pallets Work Long-Term
Set Up a Maintenance Plan
Inspect pallets monthly
Remove damaged ones immediately
Keep spare pallets for busy periods
Track which pallets last longest
Consider a Pallet Program
Some companies offer pallet pooling - you rent pallets instead of buying them. This works well if your pallet needs change seasonally.
What's Coming Next in the Pallet World
The pallet business is getting smarter:
RFID tracking - Know exactly where your pallets are
Better recycling - Old pallets become new ones more easily
Stronger materials - Used pallets lasting longer than ever
Your Action Plan
Ready to buy? Here's what to do next:
Count your needs - How many pallets do you really need?
Call 2-3 suppliers - Get quotes and compare
Visit the best option - See the pallets in person
Start small - Try a small order first
Build relationships - Good suppliers become partners
Bottom Line
Buying used plastic pallets in Marietta isn't complicated. You can save thousands of dollars and get quality pallets that do the job.
The key is working with honest suppliers who inspect their pallets and stand behind what they sell. D & G Pallet Recycling and Pallet Pros are good places to start.
Remember: you're not just saving money - you're keeping plastic out of landfills and supporting local businesses. That's a win for everyone.
Start with a small order to test quality, then scale up when you find a supplier you trust.
Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes do plastic pallets come in?
The standard is 48" x 40", matching the wood GMA footprint, at 20 to 55 lbs depending on whether it is nestable or rackable. The 48" x 48" square pallet (35 to 55 lbs) is used for drums and chemicals, and the 24" x 40" half pallet weighs 8 to 15 lbs.
How much weight can a plastic pallet hold?
Ratings vary by model, so use the manufacturer's figure for the pallet in the listing. ORBIS rates its 48x40 XpressPal Economy nestable pallet at 2,750 lbs dynamic and 15,000 lbs static, its XpressPal HD at 4,000 and 30,000 lbs, and its rackable Odyssey HD at 2,800 lbs edge-racked, 6,000 lbs dynamic and 30,000 lbs static.
What is the difference between nestable, stackable, and rackable?
Nestable pallets have legs that nest into each other when empty (ORBIS gives its XpressPal nestables a 2.2:1 to 2.4:1 nest ratio), which suits one-way and export shipping. Stackable pallets have a flat bottom deck for block stacking. Rackable pallets have steel or reinforced runners so they can span a pallet-rack beam at the model's racked rating; ORBIS rates its Odyssey HD at 2,800 lbs edge-racked.
Do plastic pallets need ISPM-15 heat treatment for export?
No. ISPM-15 applies to solid wood packaging only, so plastic pallets ship internationally without a stamp, which is the main reason exporters buy them.
How many plastic pallets fit on a truck?
About 520 per 53-foot dry van for a standard 48" x 40" pallet loaded like wood, and nestable designs fit up to 3 times more empties per truck because the stack height per pallet is so much lower.
