Hurricane preparedness regulations in Miami-Dade and Broward counties require commercial pallet inventory to be either secured (banded + tarped) or relocated above 12 feet by June 1 storm-season opening; our staging team manages compliance for recurring customers.

Florida's 'Right to Inspect' law allows commercial customers to audit pallet treatment records on 24-hour notice; our digital records portal supports same-day access.

Pallet specification detail

Pallet weight: new GMA averages 38-42 lb per unit; recycled Grade A averages 35-39 lb; lighter chemical-industry 40x40 pallets weigh 28-32 lb; freight estimation should use 40 lb/pallet for inbound planning.

Standard 48x40 GMA pallets feature 5/8 inch deck boards with a 4-board face pattern; bottom configuration is 3-board for four-way fork entry; nail pattern uses 2.5 inch screw-shank galvanized fasteners.
