Hardwood Pallets
Dense, heavy-duty hardwood block, stringer and skid pallets for machinery, metal and other heavy or concentrated loads.
When the load is heavy, concentrated or likely to be dropped onto the deck, hardwood is the safer choice. Dense boards resist crushing, hold nails tighter and survive rough handling far longer than softwood.
We build hardwood pallets as 4-way block pallets, 2-way stringer pallets and flush skids, in the sizes below or to your drawing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are hardwood pallets stronger than pinewood pallets?
Board for board, yes: hardwood is denser, resists crushing and holds nails better. It is also heavier, so for light loads pinewood is usually more economical.
Can hardwood pallets be exported?
Yes. They can be heat treated to ISPM-15 and stamped with the IPPC mark like any other wooden pallet.
