Kauai's harbour, where the surplus problem is the same but smaller.
Warehouse interior with pallets sorted by type — natural wood, blue pooled units, black plastic and EPAL stamped stacks
SegregationSorted by type, not by convenience. Pooled units go back to the pool; plastic runs a separate stream entirely.

Local picture

What moves through Lihue.

Kauai's harbour, where the surplus problem is the same but smaller.

Lihue sits in Kauai County, served by HI-50, HI-56 and Nawiliwili Harbor. The local freight base is tourism logistics, agriculture, retail supply, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

At roughly 4500 miles, Lihue 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.

What ships in Hawaii

Programme design and reuse strategy only. Physical supply from the mainland is not sensible.

Questions

Pallets in Lihue.

Can you deliver pallets to Lihue?

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. Lihue is about 4500 road miles from our yard, sea freight only.

Do you collect used pallets from Lihue?

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 Lihue?

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 Lihue depends on the distance above and the order size, which is why we quote delivered rather than FOB.

What is the local industry mix?

Tourism logistics, Agriculture, Retail supply. That mix is what decides the specification — see the table above, and industries for the full detail on each sector.
