General Info:
Alliance Forest Products is your single source for pallet and crating solutions by offering:
PRODUCTS • Wood pallets – new, used, remanufactured and combination
• Custom shipping boxes and crates
• Plastic and corrugated pallets
• Collapsible and returnable boxes
• Shock-absorbing bases and crates
• Custom crating kits
• Industrial lumber
We offer complete pallet recycling services that enable us to supply used wood pallets in a variety of sizes and types, as a low-cost alternative for our customers. Used pallets are obtained through a variety of sources including pallet and scrap removals from our customers. We can supply used pallets with the following options:
Used Pallets & Skids
Once removals are sorted, used pallets in good condition are placed immediately into inventory for resale. Pallets needing a minor repair (a board replaced) are repaired using recycled lumber, then placed into inventory.
Recycled Pallets
Pallets too damaged to repair are completely disassembled for the usable boards. This recycled lumber is used to build remanufactured (“reman”) pallets. These are pallets built from scratch using all used, recycled lumber. Reman pallets can be ordered built to spec and are yet another cost-saving alternative. Recycled lumber is also used for repairing used pallets.
“Combo” Pallets
A third low-cost option is a combination pallet which is built from scratch using a combination of new and recycled lumber. Combo pallets can also be ordered built to spec. All used, recycled and combo pallets are structurally sound, are available in quantities large or small and all can be Heat Treated for export shipment.

•We specialize in custom wood packaging and crating design for shipment all over the world using AutoCAD© Software. Our complete wood packaging and crating services will take you from design to shipment. We also offer on-site assistance by coming to your facility to work with your shipping and engineering team. We offer a wide range of industrial lumber and wood panels, all of which can be cut to size, drilled or notched. We can meet virtually any lumber requirement at very competitive prices. Doing so also helps us support sustainability by recycling most of the wood pallets we haul out. We can establish one of two scrap pallet recycling programs. For periodic scrap pallet removals, we can schedule a “live load” per your request. For regular and ongoing removals, we can schedule to have an empty trailer dropped at your dock. Then once you notify us the trailer is full, we’ll schedule a “drop and hook.” We’ll have an empty trailer brought into your facility, then we’ll hook up to the full trailer of scrap pallets and haul them out. Depending on the product, turnaround time will vary. If it’s a used pallet in stock, we could turn it around next day. For custom new pallets, the average lead time is 7-10 working days. Longer lead times are required for manufacturing an intricate custom pallet, box or crate, or if special lumber has to be ordered.
