ISPM-15 Pallets for your SharkCrates
All the pallet styles below and any custom pallets can be created in our online crate configurator. Check it out here!
Block Pallet
The pallets under our standard wood crates are a block-style 4-way entry pallets made from 1×4 lumber and 4×4 blocks. The bottom of our crate is secured to the blocks with specialty screws that can be removed should you need to replace the pallet. While simple, these pallets offer a lightweight and economical solution for one-way domestic or international shipments. As with all our pallets, these are ISPM-15 certified and ready for export.
Standard on all stock crates
ECO Pallet
Our Eco pallet – otherwise known as a stringer pallet in the industry is constructed from 1×4 top and bottom boards and 2×4 upright stringers. This design allows for easy 2-way access for both forklifts and pallet jacks. The ECO pallet is a great combination of price and strength. In addition, the 2×4 stringers allow more room than a block pallet for pallet jacks, so it’s a great option for narrower pallets, where pallet jack access is still required. The ECO pallet is also a great option freight over 96″, as it retains its rigidity better over longer lengths than the block pallet.
Standard stringer-style pallet
SharkCrates was a vendor I saw at Pack Expo and they caught my eye as having a quality product that looked better than what we were building in house for our custom machines. I did the math and their pricing for custom crates, that could be re-used, made it worth-while to use for our last two projects. We no longer need to make a hardware store run, cut large panels down to size, and make our own pallets. The crates look nice, the hardware makes them sturdy and easy to assemble, and it ultimately saves us time allowing my shop staff to do more valuable tasks.
HD Pallet
For a heavier freight, we offer our heavy-duty “HD” pallet. This robust pallet is made from 2×4 top and bottom boards and utilizes 4×4 stringers for added strength. The HD pallet is designed to move heavy loads for one-way or returnable shipments. The 2×4 deck provides a great base for lagging machinery, installing eye hooks or additional blocking and bracing. Pallet jack access is possible on one side and forklifts can access from all four.
Strong 2x4 Deck for Heavy Freight
SLHD Pallet
Our fourth pallet type is the heavy-duty sled or SLHD. This pallet is primarily designed for extra heavy shipments over 96″ in length. The top deck of the pallet is made from 2x4s and it has 4×4 stringers. The design is comprised of a 2×4 pallet deck, 4×4 stringers and doubled-up 2×4 bottom boards and 2×6 “sleds” chamfered ends that help minimize damage to the skid when the pallet is inevitably pushed on or pulled off a semi-trailer. We often recommend this pallet style for extra heavy loads over 96″ or to our trade show customers as it typically offers the most longevity.
Ideal for Long and Heavy Freight
