Frequently Asked Questions
What is a combo pallet?
A combo pallet is a remanufactured pallet built from both recycled and new lumber components. This design balances cost savings with reliable performance.
Combo pallets are ideal when operations require the durability of new pallets but want to reduce costs and environmental impact. Millwood inspects and rebuilds each pallet, replacing compromised deck boards or stringers with new lumber. This hybrid approach ensures structural integrity and consistency for handling, shipping and storage, making combo pallets a trusted option for companies prioritizing sustainability and budget efficiency.
How do combo pallets compare to used pallets?
Combo pallets differ from standard used pallets by including new lumber in their build, which improves consistency and strength.
While used pallets are repaired and recirculated, combo pallets undergo a deeper rebuild process. Weak or missing components are replaced with new wood, extending performance life. This makes them more uniform and reliable than general recycled pallets. Combo pallets are especially valuable for businesses needing a sustainable yet stronger solution without paying full new pallet pricing, striking a balance between quality and affordability.
Are combo pallets suitable for export?
Yes, combo pallets can be heat treated for ISPM-15 compliance, making them suitable for international shipping.
Millwood provides heat treatment services to ensure your combo pallets meet global phytosanitary regulations. Our vertically integrated operations allow us to control lumber sourcing, drying and treatment, ensuring that combo pallets maintain both regulatory compliance and structural durability. This makes them a practical option for businesses seeking cost savings while maintaining safe and compliant export practices across multiple shipping lanes.
What industries benefit most from combo pallets?
Combo pallets are widely used in industries balancing cost control with performance needs, such as manufacturing, distribution, building materials and consumer goods.
Companies with high pallet turnover appreciate the savings of remanufactured designs while retaining dependable strength. From warehouses to retail supply chains, combo pallets help reduce waste and extend usable pallet life. Millwood’s ability to engineer pallets for specific loads and applications ensures each industry—from automotive to food and beverage—receives a safe, sustainable and cost efficient solution tailored to operational demands.
