Which compliance standards apply?
Kiln-dried hardwood meets NWPCA Uniform Standard for Wood Pallets; moisture content verified <19% at dispatch, blade-cut deck boards, no visible bark.
Ohio regulatory context
Cuyahoga River industrial corridor manufacturers in Cleveland require heavy-duty pallets for steel-coil and bar-stock loads; we supply reinforced 4x4 hardwood stringers rated for 6,000 lb static loads.
Ohio Department of Agriculture pesticide regulations require ISPM-15 documentation on pallets carrying treated produce; our heat-treated stock with phytosanitary certification serves Marietta, Wooster, and Lima packers.
What are the pallet specifications?
Custom 42x42 pallet builds use 7/8 inch deck boards for telecommunications-equipment loads; nail-pattern density doubled to handle 5,000 lb static load; runner spacing optimized for 4,000 lb-capacity narrow-aisle reach trucks.
Standard 48x40 GMA pallets feature 5/8 inch deck boards with a 4-board face pattern; bottom configuration is 3-board for four-way fork entry; nail pattern uses 2.5 inch screw-shank galvanized fasteners.

Net 30 terms standard for established customers with credit approval; Net 15 or COD for first three orders; credit card and ACH accepted for spot orders.
