Pallet specification detail

Lumber spec for new GMA stock: mixed hardwood (oak, maple, ash, hickory) with minimum 600 SG (specific gravity); kiln dried to <19% moisture; visible defects limited to wane on outer 1/3 of deck board only.

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.

Restaurant supply distributors move pallets between regional warehouses and individual restaurants on small-truck (26-foot box truck) routes; we offer mini-pallet 24x24 and 32x32 builds for restaurant kitchen door access.

Pricing context

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.

Sustainability

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