Heat treated (ISPM-15)
We heat the wood to 56°C at the core for 30 minutes to kill insects, then stamp it. Customs abroad turns away unstamped wood. Staying in the US or Canada? Skip it and save the surcharge. How heat treating works.
Hardwood vs softwood
Hardwood is denser, so it holds heavier loads and survives more trips. Softwood is lighter and cheaper, and fine for one-way shipments of lighter goods. Read the full comparison.
When your operation needs a clean, consistent 48x40 pallet, Gruber Pallets builds new GMA-style wood pallets for manufacturers, distributors, food and beverage companies, retailers, and warehouses across Minnesota. We manufacture in-house at our Lake Elmo facility, so your team can quote standard 48x40 GMA pallets, heat-treated export pallets, and custom pallet programs without guessing on quality or supply.
The 48x40 GMA pallet is the most common pallet footprint in North America. It is used heavily in grocery, retail, warehousing, distribution, and general manufacturing because it fits standard handling systems and works well for repeatable truckload movement. If your buyer, warehouse, or carrier asks for a GMA pallet, this is usually the size they mean.
New 48x40 GMA pallets are the right fit when consistency, clean appearance, known specifications, or customer requirements matter. If your shipment is more cost-sensitive, recycled pallets may be a better value. If your load does not fit a 48x40 footprint, Gruber Pallets also builds custom pallets to match your product, handling equipment, and freight requirements.
For buyers comparing GMA pallets in Minnesota, Gruber Pallets can quote single truckloads, recurring 48x40 pallet supply, heat-treated export pallets, and spec-driven pallet programs. Our team serves Minneapolis, St. Paul, the Twin Cities metro, and businesses throughout Minnesota.
