Used plastic pallets, graded by their wear. Every lot is walked around and written down before anyone asks for a price. Scroll to walk around one pallet.
Request a lot Pick a footprint
Normal: Scuffs, faded colour and nest marks.
Reject: Cracks that reach an edge, bow, a missing piece.
Normal: Fork-strike gouges on the surface.
Reject: A chip that has lost material, or a crack through the corner.
Normal: Floor and rack scuffing along the bottom rails.

Normal: Light scrape marks where tines enter.
Reject: Collapsed or torn pocket walls.
Drawn by the site, not a photograph. Wear marks are typical, not from a real lot.
Pick a footprint down the side and a grade across the top. A mark in a cell opens the request with that footprint and grade filled in. Grade names are this site's working definitions, since there is no standard for plastic pallets.
Footprints by grade. Deck area worked out as length times width in inches, divided by 144.

A grade says what the wear shows and what the pallet is fit for. It is never a promise of food contact or a rack rating: those come from the maker's papers and the plate on the deck.
A few trips only. Clean, no cracks, no missing parts, deck and runners flat.
Fit for: general warehouse work, closed-loop use, and any job where a clean deck matters.
Not fit for: a promise of food contact or racking: those come from the maker's papers, not from the grade.
Many trips, scuffs and colour variation, but whole and usable for general-purpose or closed-loop work.
Fit for: general shipping and storage, conveyors and pallet jacks, uniform closed-loop lots.
Not fit for: racking or food contact unless the deck plate and the maker's papers say so.
A cracked or chipped part welded or swapped. Some designs use snap-lock parts for repair.
Fit for: floor-level shipping and storage where a repaired pallet is acceptable, and plants that sort pallets by condition.
Not fit for: racking, food contact, or stacking beyond what the maker rates, unless the maker says otherwise.
Mixed makers, colours and sizes sold by the truckload, sorted by footprint.
Fit for: buyers who care about footprint and count more than a uniform look.
Not fit for: automation, racking, or any job that needs one maker's rating on every pallet.
The footprint is the length and width of the deck. It decides what rack bay, conveyor, truck or container the pallet fits, so it comes before grade. Stacks below are drawn to the same scale.
Four things to confirm on any used pallet. Pick what you need and carry it to the request.
A pool-marked pallet may belong to the pool, and a pallet with a company's name or logo on it may be that company's to collect. California law lets a recycler take possession of stray proprietary pallets only if the owner cannot be identified or fails to retrieve them in time. We will not sell what is not ours to sell, and we say so on the lot.
Plastic is outside ISPM 15, so a used lot can go on a container without heat treatment or a stamp. The destination decides the footprint: Euro 1200 x 800 mm into Europe, 1200 x 1000 mm for Europe and Asia, 1100 x 1100 mm for Japan, Korea and China, and 1165 x 1165 mm for Australia.
Every lot is walked around and sorted by what the deck, corners, runners and fork pockets show: like new, used and clean, repaired, or mixed. The grade names are working definitions, since there is no standard for plastic pallets.
48 x 40 inches is the GMA standard, and most requests begin there. Chemical and drum shippers ask for 48 x 48 or 45 x 45, automotive plants for 48 x 45, and exporters for the Euro or 1200 x 1000 footprints.
No. Plastic is outside ISPM 15, so a used lot can go on a container without heat treatment or a stamp.
No. A pool-marked pallet may belong to the pool operator, and we will not sell what is not ours to sell.
No. The reply to a request describes a matched lot in writing, and the price conversation comes after that.
