Load Specifications

Weight Capacity by Grade and Type

Understanding load capacity is critical for safe shipping and warehouse operations. Every pallet we sell is rated for specific dynamic, static, and racking loads.

Dynamic Load

The maximum weight a pallet can safely carry while being moved by a forklift or pallet jack. This is the most commonly referenced capacity.

Grade A Used2,800 lbs
Grade B Used2,500 lbs
Grade C Used2,000 lbs
New Softwood2,800 lbs
New Hardwood4,000 lbs
Custom Reinforced5,000+ lbs

Static Load

The maximum weight a pallet can support while stationary on a flat surface. Static load ratings are typically 2-3 times the dynamic load.

Grade A Used7,000 lbs
Grade B Used6,000 lbs
Grade C Used5,000 lbs
New Softwood7,500 lbs
New Hardwood10,000 lbs
Custom Reinforced12,000+ lbs

Racking Load

The maximum weight a pallet can support when placed on warehouse racking beams, supported only at the ends. This is the most demanding load scenario.

Grade A Used2,200 lbs
Grade B Used1,800 lbs
Grade C UsedNot recommended
New Softwood2,500 lbs

Materials

Built From the Best Materials

We work with wood, plastic, and metal to deliver the right pallet material for every application and environment.

Wood

Our most popular option. Sourced from sustainable forestry operations, wooden pallets offer excellent strength-to-weight ratio, easy repairability, and full recyclability. Available in softwood and hardwood varieties.

  • Recyclable & biodegradable
  • Cost-effective
  • Easy to repair
  • High load capacity

Plastic

Ideal for cleanroom environments, food processing, and pharmaceutical applications. Plastic pallets resist moisture, chemicals, and pests while offering consistent weight and dimensions across their entire lifespan.

  • Moisture resistant
  • Hygienic & easy to clean
  • Long lifespan
  • Consistent dimensions

Metal

The heavy-duty solution for extreme load requirements and harsh environments. Metal pallets are built to handle the toughest industrial applications where strength and fire resistance are non-negotiable.
