California Air Resources Board (CARB) Phase 2 formaldehyde rule restricts composite wood components; our solid hardwood pallets are CARB-exempt and ship with documentation for LA, Long Beach, and Oakland port shipments.

California Proposition 65 requires warning labels on pallets containing listed chemicals; our heat-treated stock uses no listed chemicals and ships with Prop 65 compliance attestations for every commercial invoice.

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.
