Operational details for Florida

Compliance specification

All pallets stamped IPPC HT for ISPM-15 export compliance to 180+ countries; documentation includes treatment temperature logs and the registered facility number.

Florida regulatory context

Plant City packing operations subject to USDA Marketing Order 905 require pallet markings traceable to the originating farm; we apply per-load barcode tags integrated with the Florida Tomato Committee compliance system.

Florida Department of Agriculture inspects pallet treatment facilities under the federal cooperative inspection agreement; our Tampa and Jacksonville locations are stamp-authorized facilities.

Pallet specification detail

Block pallets (four-way entry) use nine 4-inch hardwood blocks with continuous-face top deck; ideal for ASRS (automated storage and retrieval) and AGV (automated guided vehicle) operations where stringer interruptions cause read-failures.

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.

Delivery and logistics

Live-load operations bring the trailer to your dock for a 90-minute window; loader/unloader provided; suited to customers without dedicated dock space or with intermittent volume.

Customer use case

Healthcare and medical-device manufacturers (Pinellas County corridor) use custom foam-lined pallets to protect $50K+ equipment shipments; build-to-print available on 3-day lead time.

Pricing context

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.

Sustainability

Our Lakeland and Jacksonville recycling streams process 200,000+ pallets per year; broken stock is repaired or chipped for mulch (sold separately); zero-landfill goal targeted for 2027.
