A GMA pallet is the 48" x 40" industry standard defined by the Grocery Manufacturers Association. It's North America's most common pallet size, used in food & beverage, retail, and general distribution. The 48x40 standard ensures compatibility with virtually all warehouse racking systems and material handling equipment.
New GMA pallets are freshly manufactured with no previous use. Recycled Grade A pallets are like-new with minimal cosmetic wear. Recycled Grade B pallets have visible wear but maintain full structural integrity. Recycled pallets typically cost 40-60% less than new. We inspect and repair all recycled pallets before delivery to Butler.
