Pallets in Chicago
Chicago is home to a large number of pallets, estimated to number 2 billion in the United States. There is usually no recycling of pallets. As a result, we developed a Chicago-based operation for buying and selling pallets. Our company offers multiple options for buying pallets, recycling pallets, and even upcycling pallets.
Differnt Pallet Sizes
The sizes of pallets are nearly endless. Pallets are most commonly 48×40 inches. Other sizes include 42×42, 48×36, 48×32, 44×44, and 48×48. If you need a specific pallet size, we can build it for you.
Used Pallet Prices
The price of pallets varies depending on the size and dimensions of the pallet. The price of pallets is generally determined by supply and demand, as is the case with most commodity materials. In addition to providing you with the best pallet prices, we can also provide you with a complete pallet management service.
Pallet Pooling Service
Pallet pooling is even an option. Pallet pooling involves renting pallets. After pallets have been used to ship products, they are recycled. The benefit of this is that you can save money if you have a large pallet supply. Pallet pools are commonly used by large retailers. These include Costco, Wal-Mart, Target, Sam’s, and Whole Foods.
Pallet Recycling in CHicago
Additionally, we offer recycled pallet solutions for businesses. In addition to recycled pallets, we also sell recycled used pallets. You can count on us to supply pallets quickly and hassle-free when your business needs them. We will take care of those 48×40 pallets and odd sized pallets when your business needs to clean off its docks. It is usually necessary to tear down odd-sized pallets to make other pallets. In order to prevent wood pallets from being disposed of in Chicago landfills, we do this work.
Corrugated and plastic pallets
There are other materials that can be used to make pallets besides wood. Wood pallets are the most common type of pallet. Plastic pallets are next in popularity. Pallet racks that hold a lot of storage can benefit from plastic pallets. Some pallet pooling programs also use plastic pallets. A company can reduce its carbon footprint by using corrugated pallets, which are a little more expensive than used pallets. Corrugated pallets have been adopted by companies such as IKEA, which has reduced transportation and fuel costs. In addition to being 100 percent recyclable, corrugated pallets are also made of corrugated plastic.
HT – Heat Treated Pallets
Heat-treated pallets may be an additional service companies need. In order to kill bugs that may be in the wood, pallets that are shipped overseas must be heat treated. A number of bugs can spread from wood and get into trees, causing major environmental problems. For international shipping heat treated palelts may be required by law. Also if you are in the food or medical industry it is recommended

48 x 40 Wood Pallets
A pallet can be made from a number of different types of wood. Hardwood and soft wood are the most common types of wood. The cost of making a pallet can be lower if you use softwood. Hardwood pallets are sturdy and can carry a heavier load.
What is a Block Pallet?
Block pallets are named after the blocks that form their base. Solid wood blocks are typically placed in each of the pallet’s corners, in the center of its sides, and in the center of the pallet to support the unit load.
Known as a “full four-way entry” pallet, a block pallet can be lifted from all four sides by pallet jacks and forklifts. Block pallets can have their bottom deckboards included or not.
There is a common misconception that block pallets are stronger and more durable than stringer pallets since they use both parallel stringers and perpendicular blocks, but the test below proves otherwise.
What is a wooden stringer pallet?
The most common pallet in the United States is the stringer pallet, which uses stringers to support the unit load. Typically, stringers are made of 2 x 4s or 3 x 4s and are sandwiched between the top and bottom deckboards.
In general, stringer pallets are considered two-way pallets, since a forklift or pallet jack can only access them on two sides, but they can be notched (for a forklift) or chamfered (for a pallet jack) on the non-accessible sides to facilitate four-way entry. Stringer pallets can be designed in virtually any size, even though the most common size is 48″ x 40″.
