Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I need 48x42 pallets instead of standard 48x40 in Reading?
You'd choose 48x42 over standard 48x40 if: your products' footprint better fits the 42-inch depth (less overhang or wasted space), your racking or conveyor system is configured for 42-inch pallet depth, you're exporting to European markets and want closer compatibility with EUR pallet dimensions, or your beverage or chemical containers are optimized for 42-inch depth stacking. Contact us to discuss your specific application in Reading.
Are 48x42 pallets compatible with standard warehouse racking in Reading?
Yes. 48x42 pallets fit in standard selective pallet racking systems designed for 48-inch loads. The 42-inch depth (vs. standard 40-inch GMA) provides slightly more stability and surface area. All major pallet rack brands - Ridg-U-Rak, Interlake, Mecalux, Unarco - accommodate 48x42 pallets in systems configured for 48-inch standard load depth.
Can I get 48x42 pallets heat treated for export from Reading, Pennsylvania?
Absolutely. We supply ISPM-15 certified heat treated 48x42 pallets with IPPC stamp marking for international export from Reading. This size is popular for export to EU member countries, Canada, and other markets requiring ISPM-15 compliance. Certificate of heat treatment available with each order.
