Cold storage facilities (Plant City corridor) use HDPE plastic pallets that wash down at 180F; suitable for USDA Grade A dairy plants and frozen-protein operations; we lease as well as sell.

Custom pallet pricing depends on lumber spec, build complexity, and quantity: small runs (50-200 units) typically $35-55 per unit; large runs (500+ units) drop to $22-32 per unit; quotes returned in <2 hours.
