Request QuoteHow to choose the right pallet size in Florida
Match pallet size to freight profile: (1) freight dimensions - 48x40 fits 28-per-trailer floor-load + standard warehouse racking; oversize freight needs 48x42/48x48/custom. (2) Load weight - GMA 3,000 lb static handles most palletized freight; heavy machinery/appliance/drum needs heavier spec. (3) Florida buyer program - Publix accepts recycled Grade A clean-face, Walmart requires new GMA 48x40 with 8-Way branded band, Home Depot requires HDP block pallet. (4) Export - ISPM-15 heat-treatment adds $6-8/pallet across any size, required for JAXPORT/Port of Miami/Port Everglades outbound freight.
