Pallet Options for Agriculture

Sussex County has a strong agricultural and poultry sector, and farms operate across Kent and New Castle counties too. Here are the pallet types to ask about for wet, heavy, seasonal work.

Wood Pallets for Field and Packing Use

Stringer and block pallets for field loading and packing lines. Tell the supplier about wet conditions and how the pallets will be handled.

  • New or used
  • Forklift and pallet jack entry
  • 48x40 and other sizes
  • Load rating confirmed with the supplier

Plastic Pallets to Ask About

Plastic pallets are a common option for wet areas and for reuse across seasons. Ask partner suppliers what they can offer.

  • Ventilated designs to ask about
  • Washable surfaces
  • No nails
  • Specs confirmed with the supplier

ISPM 15 Heat-Treated Pallets

ISPM 15 heat-treated pallets carry the IPPC mark. Ask partner suppliers for what your shipment needs, and check current rules for the destination country.

  • IPPC mark on the pallet
  • Standard and custom sizes
  • Paperwork: ask the supplier

Used Pallets, Selling, and Recycling

Buy used pallets, or ask about selling the ones you no longer need after the season. Wood that can't be reused can often be ground into mulch or fuel, depending on the recycler.

  • Selling used pallets
  • Pickup where available
  • Recycling of worn pallets
