Frequently Asked Questions

What is a GMA 48x40 pallet?

A GMA pallet is the 48" x 40" industry standard defined by the Grocery Manufacturers Association.

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.

We inspect and repair all recycled pallets before delivery to Cove Springs.
