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.

Construction supply yards (Home Depot, Lowe's distribution) move lumber and hardware on 48x40 GMA in 5,000+ pallet weekly cycles; we supply both the inbound load pallets and the return-stream recycled stock.

Pricing context

Net 30 terms standard for established customers with credit approval; Net 15 or COD for first three orders; credit card and ACH accepted for spot orders.
