Local picture

What moves through Minneapolis.

Medical device work specifies documented material history, which is one of the few genuinely new-pallet applications.

Minneapolis sits in Hennepin County, served by I-94, I-35W, I-394 and I-494. The local freight base is medical devices, corporate distribution, food processing, printing, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

At roughly 745 miles, Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis.

Can you deliver pallets to Minneapolis?

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. Minneapolis is about 745 road miles from our yard, about 11 hours 30 minutes.

Do you collect used pallets from Minneapolis?

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 Minneapolis?

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

What is the local industry mix?

Medical devices, Corporate distribution, Food processing, Printing. That mix is what decides the specification — see the table above, and industries for the full detail on each sector.
