Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 42x42 the standard for 55-gallon drums in Clarkston?
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 Dekalb County rely on this size for drum storage and transport.
Can I use 42x42 pallets in standard racking systems in Clarkston?
Yes. 42x42 pallets fit in most standard selective pallet racking systems that accommodate 48-inch depth loads. Some facilities use pallet support bars for 42x42 pallets in racking designed for 48-inch pallets. Drive-in and push-back rack must be verified for 42-inch depth compatibility. Our team can advise on racking compatibility for your specific Clarkston facility.
Do you stock recycled 42x42 pallets for immediate delivery to Clarkston?
