Maximum Value for Basic Needs

Grade C pallets are our most affordable option, perfect for applications where functionality matters more than appearance. These pallets may show visible wear but are fully functional for their rated load capacity.

Ideal for storage, one-time shipping, internal operations, or any application where cost savings are the priority. Don't pay for premium appearance when you don't need it.

Every Grade C pallet we sell has been inspected to ensure it's structurally sound and safe for its rated capacity. We only sell functional pallets - anything that doesn't meet our standards goes to recycling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Grade C pallets

Are Grade C pallets safe to use?

Yes, absolutely. While Grade C pallets show more wear than higher grades, we inspect each one to ensure structural integrity. They must meet our safety standards before being sold. Any pallet with compromised load-bearing capability is recycled, not sold.

What kind of wear will I see on Grade C pallets?

Grade C pallets may have visible staining, weathered wood, minor repairs with replacement boards, surface roughness, and cosmetic damage. However, all critical structural components remain sound and functional for their rated load capacity.

Can I use Grade C pallets for shipping?

Yes, Grade C pallets are suitable for shipping, especially for one-way shipments where the pallet won't be returned. They're not recommended for customer-facing retail or export applications, but work well for domestic B2B shipping.

How much can I save with Grade C vs higher grades?

Grade C pallets typically cost 50-60% less than Grade A and 30-40% less than Grade B. For operations requiring large quantities of pallets, the savings can be substantial while still meeting functional requirements.

Do you have Grade C pallets in bulk quantities?

Yes! Grade C is often available in larger quantities than higher grades since it includes pallets that have cycled through the supply chain multiple times. We frequently have truckload quantities available for high-volume buyers.

Need Better Appearance?

Grade C is great for cost savings, but if your application requires better aesthetics or customer-facing use, consider our higher grades.
