Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 42x42 the standard for 55-gallon drums in Lakes?
The 42x42 square pallet was designed specifically to accommodate the circular base of 55-gallon drums. The 42-inch dimension provides approximately 4 inches of clearance on each side of a standard 23-inch diameter drum, allowing stable stacking of 4 drums per pallet (2x2 pattern) without overhang. This is why 42x42 became the chemical industry standard, and why businesses throughout Broward Lauderdale County rely on this size for drum storage and transport.
Can I use 42x42 pallets in standard racking systems in Lakes?
Yes. 42x42 pallets fit in most standard selective pallet racking systems that accommodate 48-inch depth loads.
