Specialty Pallets Manufacturers

Custom Pallets

Specialty pallets

Alongside our standard pallet range, Pinewood Products supplies configurable pallets designed to suit specific freight, storage and handling requirements.

We operate within defined pallet styles and construction standards, with the ability to adjust key elements such as board configuration, timber grade, load capacity and selected features to ensure the pallet aligns with its intended application.

For export requirements, storage constraints or specialised freight handling needs, our team works with you to determine the most suitable pallet configuration.

What is the ISPM15 standard?

We can build your pallets with ISPM15 material. This is the internationally recognised sanitary standards created by the World Trade Organisation’s International Plant Protection Convention. Designed to prevent the international shipment of solid wood materials (such as pallet packaging) which have the potential to introduce pathogens to their destination, ISPM15 is used worldwide as the approved standard.

As an Australian exporter of goods overseas, it is of paramount importance that there be no outstanding issues with storage. It is vital for the smooth flow of commerce that goods shouldn’t be held up at overseas terminals. Our custom pallets, made to ISPM15 standard, gives our clients peace of mind.

Scalloped timber for packaging and storage

Scalloped bearers can be incorporated to support the safe transport of concrete or plastic pipes. Additional features such as winged or filtered boards can also be applied where required. These elements are integrated within structured pallet designs to ensure strength, performance and handling reliability.

With over 30 years of industry experience, Pinewood Products manufactures quality specialty pallets designed to perform. If your freight requirements sit outside standard pallet dimensions, our team can work with you to determine the most suitable option within our established pallet range.

Custom Pallet Frequently Asked Questions

What are custom timber pallets?

Custom timber pallets are wooden pallets designed and built to meet the requirements of a business or application. They fit the size and weight capacity needed for a particular purpose.

Why choose custom timber pallets over standard pallets?

Custom timber pallets are designed to match the dimensions of a product and optimise storage. They also decrease transportation space and provide the necessary load-bearing capacity. This can lead to cost savings and improved efficiency compared to standard pallets.

What are the typical dimensions for custom timber pallets?

The dimensions of custom timber pallets are built to specification based on the specific needs of the customer. Common sizes include the standard European size of 1200 x 1800 mm and the North American size of 1016 x 1229mm. Custom sizes can range from small to oversized pallets for heavy machinery.

Do custom timber pallets meet international shipping standards?

Yes, custom timber pallets will meet international shipping standards. This includes those set by organisations like ISPM 15 for heat treatment and fumigation requirements to prevent the spread of pests.

What type of wood are custom timber pallets made with?

Custom timber pallets can be made from hardwood for extra durability and can be reused if sent between business and customer. Softwood is used for pallets intended for disposal after use. The choice of wood depends on the intended use, load capacity requirements, and environmental considerations.

Can custom timber pallets be heat-treated for international shipping?

Yes, custom timber pallets can be heat-treated to meet ISPM 15 regulations for international shipping. Heat treatment eliminates pests and reduces the risk of spreading invasive species across borders.

How long does it take to manufacture custom timber pallets?

The manufacturing time for custom timber pallets can vary depending on the complexity of the design, the quantity needed, and the availability of materials in our range of custom options.
