FSMA Section 204 traceability supported on every food-grade load; pallet ID linked to the lumber lot, kiln batch, and dispatch ticket in our chain-of-custody database.

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.

FDA registered facilities in Lakeland and Jacksonville require pallets that meet FDA 21 CFR 178.3520 indirect food additive specification; our food-grade stock is tested for compliance every 90 days.

Pallet specification detail

48x40 GMA load capacity is 2,800 lb racked (face-loaded), 4,600 lb static, and 2,500 lb dynamic per ASME MH1 2016; deck board span 3.5 inches; deflection under rated load <0.5 inch.

Recycled-Grade B pallets meet structural spec but may have up to 2 replaced deck boards; suitable for industrial loads outside food/pharma; price point 30-40% below new GMA.

Delivery and logistics

Flatbed delivery handles oversized loads or pallets with overhanging product; tarping included; preferred for export crates and bulk lumber shipments.

Manufacturing customers running JIT (just-in-time) lines require pallets delivered to specific dock doors on 2-hour windows; we offer GPS-tracked delivery with 15-minute arrival ETAs.

Lumber index pricing: we benchmark against the Random Lengths southern yellow pine #2 index for hardwood-blend spec; updates monthly; standing-order pricing protects against +/-15% market swings.

Lumber sourcing prioritizes regional Southeast US hardwood mills (FL, AL, GA, MS); reduces transport carbon vs Pacific Northwest stock; supports regional logging economies.
