Local picture

What moves through Aurora.

Where most of Denver's newer warehouse capacity has been built, out toward the airport.

Aurora sits in Arapahoe County, served by I-70, I-225 and E-470. The local freight base is distribution, healthcare, aerospace, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

At roughly 1230 miles, Aurora is outside the range where hauling routine stock from Ohio makes economic sense. What does travel is specification: engineered builds, export crating and program design, where the value sits in the drawing rather than in the wood.

Questions

Pallets in Aurora.

Can you deliver pallets to Aurora?

Reachable on project freight and through our sourcing network. For routine weekly supply, a yard closer to you will almost certainly beat us on delivered cost, and we will say so. Aurora is about 1230 road miles from our yard, about 18 hours.

Do you collect used pallets from Aurora?

Collection at this distance only works on volume — a full trailer of sorted cores, or a program arrangement. For smaller quantities a regional recycler is the right call. See sell your pallets.

What do pallets cost in Aurora?

Recycled 48×40 GMA has run roughly $7.50 to $12.00 for Grade A and $5.00 to $8.50 for Grade B in our home market, before freight. Delivered pricing to Aurora depends on the distance above and the order size, which is why we quote delivered rather than FOB.

What is the local industry mix?

Distribution, Healthcare, Aerospace. That mix is what decides the specification — see the table above, and industries for the full detail on each sector.
