Grade A Pallets
Premium quality pallets in like-new condition. Our highest grade for retail display, export shipping, and applications where appearance matters.
What Makes Grade A Special
Grade A pallets represent the highest quality in our used pallet inventory. These pallets have minimal wear and are carefully selected to meet strict quality standards that match the appearance of new pallets.
Each Grade A pallet is individually inspected for structural integrity, cleanliness, and appearance. They are ideal for businesses that need pallets visible to customers or for export shipping where presentation matters.
Our Grade A pallets undergo a rigorous 12-point inspection process to ensure they meet our strict standards. Only about 15-20% of pallets we receive qualify for Grade A classification.
