Florida regulatory context

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.

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.

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 delivery scheduling: orders confirmed by 2 PM EST ship same day from the nearest yard; orders after 2 PM ship next-business-day; weekend dispatch available with 24-hour notice for premium accounts.

Customer use case

Aerospace component manufacturers (Brevard, Pinellas counties) use ISPM-15 export crates for international supplier shipments; build-to-print specs include foam-lined interiors and humidity-control packets.
