Definition

A Florida citrus pallet is a kiln-dried wood pallet meeting FSMA Sanitary Transportation requirements, used by Florida citrus packhouses to ship oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, and lemons from grove to packhouse to truck to port.

Detailed Explanation

Florida produces 70% of US citrus, primarily processed and shipped during October-June harvest peaks. Citrus pallets must withstand citrus juice, humidity, and high-cycle handling. Specs: kiln-dried construction (8-15% moisture content); FSMA Sanitary Transportation compliance; sealed deck preferred for juice-resistance; ISPM-15 stamped for export to Asia and Europe; ASTM D1185 dynamic 2,800+ lbs for rough handling.
