Local picture

What moves through Denver.

The distribution capital of the Mountain West, and effectively an island — the nearest comparable market is 600 miles away.

Denver sits in Denver County, served by I-25, I-70, I-225, I-270 and E-470. The local freight base is distribution, brewing, aerospace, energy, 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, Denver 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 Denver.

Can you deliver pallets to Denver?

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. Denver is about 1230 road miles from our yard, about 18 hours.

Do you collect used pallets from Denver?

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 Denver?

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