Steel pallets

What are steel pallets?

Steel pallets are durable, reusable metal pallets that replace wood and plastic for heavy, high-cycle, or hygiene-sensitive loads. Built to run as returnable pallets in a closed loop, they carry heavier weight, resist damage, and last for years.

SPF builds custom steel pallets to your load, footprint, and handling method — deck type, fork pockets, and load rating all engineered to your product and your forklift or AS/RS.

We build steel pallets for automotive, distribution and logistics, food and beverage, and general manufacturing — with metal containers and stack racks to match.

FAQ

Steel pallets — answered.

Why choose steel pallets over wood or plastic?

Steel pallets are far more durable and reusable, carry heavier loads, resist damage, and run for years in a returnable loop — lowering cost per trip versus one-way wood or plastic.

Can you build steel pallets to our load and footprint?

Yes. We design custom steel and metal pallets to your load rating, footprint, and forklift and rack requirements, built to print.

Are steel pallets returnable and reusable?

Yes. We build durable returnable steel pallets engineered to cycle for years and be repaired if damaged.

Can you build to our footprint and load rating?

Yes. Deck, fork pockets, and load rating are all engineered to your exact product, racking, and handling method.
