What Are Hardwood Pallets?
Hardwood pallets are platforms made with wood from deciduous trees like oak, maple and hickory. Because they take longer to grow, hardwoods are denser, stronger and have higher moisture resistance. These woods are used to make heavy-duty pallets that endure rough handling, have a higher weight capacity and offer a longer lifespan than standard, softwood pallets.
You can recognize hardwood pallets for their darker tones, grain patterns and heavy weight. These pallets can be custom-made to fit specific sizes, designs and branding requirements. They can also receive heat treatment for international shipping and pest prevention.

- Longer lifespan: Hardwood pallets can endure repeated use under rough, heavy-duty applications.
- Low-maintenance: These pallets are more resistant to wear, meaning fewer maintenance and repair requirements.
- Cost-effectiveness: Durability and longevity help reduce long-term upkeep and replacement costs.
