Buy, sell or clear

Buy

Pick a size and grade from the row above, or read what to buy for truckload orders, food plants and heat-treated stock.

Ask to buy

Sell

Sorted pallets from your dock have a market. What to sell explains what makes a stack worth asking about.

Ask to sell

Clear

A back lot full of mixed pallets is a pile to clear. What to clear covers broken stock, recurring dock surplus and mixed loads.

Ask to clear

Read a grade

A grade is what you can see on the stack. Cracked boards, plugs and companion stringers are the marks to look for, and the grade guide shows each one up close.

Grade ANo repairs. Whole boards, flush nails.
Grade BRepaired with replaced boards, plates or plugs.
ComboUsed stringers carrying new deck boards.
CoreUnsorted used pallets waiting to be inspected.

Sizes on the Wasatch Front

Six footprints are in regular use, drawn here at one scale. The 48 x 40 is the standard, and the other five exist because particular freight asked for them.

From Ogden to Spanish Fork

The service area follows the Wasatch Front along I-15, from Weber County in the north to Utah County in the south. The areas list each county's cities, industrial parks and the freight they ship.

Heat treated for export

ISPM 15 is the international rule for wood packaging. A pallet that leaves the country in a container generally carries the IPPC mark, which shows the wood was heat treated. A load that stays in the United States does not need it.

Read the export guide before you order, or see the marked stock.

What winter does to a yard stack

Salt Lake City averages about 60 inches of snow a season. Snow on top and meltwater at the bottom soak into pallets left in a yard, and wood under 20 percent moisture will not support mold. Keep stacks off the ground, covered and with air moving.

The storage guide has the four rules.

These pairings are the common case, not a rule. Industries covers two more, and the stack finder suggests a stack from what you ship.

How to walk the row

Each stack on the floor stands for a real choice. Pick a stack to see its build, read its placard for the size and grade, and decide whether it looks like the pallets on your dock. If it does, ask for it. If it almost does, ask for it and say what is different. Salt Lake City, Ogden, West Valley City, Lehi and Spanish Fork all have docks that need the same few stacks, in different amounts.

  • Shipping cartons on a rack: Grade B is usually enough.
  • Shipping to a customer who inspects: Grade A.
  • Shipping overseas in a container: heat treated and marked.
  • Holding a pile you want gone: describe it as a mixed load.

Counts matter more than adjectives. A hundred pallets a week is a supply, ten is a favour, and a thousand is a project, and the answer to each is different. Say the number, say how often, and say the ZIP of the dock.

Ask for a price

One request covers buying, selling and clearing. Say what the pallets are, how many and how often. Photos help. The pallet questions answer what comes next.
