Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about pallets in the warehouse
Which pallet works best on racking?
That depends on the rack type and the load. Check that the pallet is rated for racking, and follow your rack manufacturer's guidance.
Should I standardize on one size?
Often it helps, because consistent pallets are easier to rack and handle. It depends on the mix of goods you ship.
Can you assess my warehouse?
No. Pallets Louisville is a referral service. You can describe your needs in a request, and a partner supplier will say how it can help.
