What Albany makes and ships

Albany at a glance

Albany's freight gathers where the Thruway, the Northway and the Hudson River come together. Ships and barges tie up at the Port of Albany–Rensselaer, freight trains sort at Selkirk south of town, and trucks fan out toward Montreal, Boston and Buffalo.

State government, hospitals and colleges carry most of the Capital Region's payroll, but its freight comes from a shorter list. A chipmaker moved its headquarters in 2021 to its wafer fab on the Luther Forest Technology Campus in Malta. Steam turbines are still built in Schenectady. On the river, the Port of Albany–Rensselaer regularly handles cocoa beans, sugar, molasses, grain, steel, wood pulp and heavy-lift pieces, and a Schenectady-based supermarket chain supplies every one of its stores from a single warehouse in Rotterdam.

That mix splits pallet orders three ways. Fab and turbine freight is valuable, heavy or both, so it rides on new pallets or custom skids, and anything bound overseas needs heat treatment. Grocery warehousing burns through standard 48x40s that must rack, wrap and stack evenly. Port sheds and transload crews want stout pallets for bagged and boxed cargo pulled off ships, barges and railcars and staged under cover.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

The Thruway (I-90) and I-87 meet at Exit 24 on Albany's western edge. I-87 runs north as the Northway to the Champlain–Lacolle crossing and Autoroute 15 into Montreal, and south toward New York City. I-88 starts in Rotterdam and heads southwest to Binghamton, while I-787 follows the river from Albany to Troy. The Selkirk rail yard, about eight miles south, is a major classification hump. Albany International Airport in Colonie is an airport of entry. Export containers generally head down the Thruway to the Port of New York and New Jersey.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Albany.

Match the pallet to the building. Grocery and retail warehouses around Rotterdam, Colonie and Exit 24 mostly run Grade A recycled 48x40 stringers outbound and keep Grade B for storage and returns. Chip-fab suppliers in Saratoga County lean toward new or AAA pallets with tight deck spacing and no loose fasteners. Turbine and heavy-equipment shippers in Schenectady should spec block pallets or custom skids rated for the load. Anything headed overseas, by container through New York or by heavy lift off the Albany wharf, needs HT pallets marked under ISPM 15.

Buying pallets in Albany: questions

Can you deliver pallets to warehouses near Thruway Exit 24 and Colonie?
Yes. We deliver full truckloads to docks around Exit 24, Colonie, Latham and the lower Northway. Send your appointment rules and any trailer requirements with the order, and your account manager confirms the pallet spec and delivery details in writing before a truck is booked.
Do suppliers to the Malta chip fab need new pallets?
Not always, but many specify them. Cleanroom receivers often turn away pallets with splinters, loose nails or debris, and some require exact sizes. Send the receiving spec from the fab or your contractor, and we source new or custom pallets built to match it, with heat treatment if the freight leaves the country.
What should a Schenectady turbine or heavy-equipment shipper order?
Heavy, high-value machinery usually needs block pallets or custom skids with runners and deck boards sized for the load and the lift points. Give us the weight, footprint and how the piece gets picked up, and your account manager spells out lumber dimensions and build details in writing before production.
Do pallets moving through the Port of Albany need heat treatment?
Only when the cargo leaves the United States on wood packaging. Most destination countries require ISPM 15, so order HT pallets with the ISPM 15 mark from ALSC-accredited facilities. Domestic moves between the port and Capital Region warehouses can use untreated new or recycled pallets.
Where can I buy pallets in Albany, NY?
From us, by the full truckload: 616 recycled 48x40s per truck, or 520 block pallets. Call (470) 206-3352 or book a test load.
What do pallets cost delivered to Albany, NY?
Full-truckload prices run from $4.75 a pallet for Grade B to $10.50 for AAA, freight included. Heat-treated adds $1.00–$1.50 per pallet.
When will a load reach Albany, NY?
Your delivery date is on the quote, in writing, before you send a PO. Standard 48x40s often arrive in 0–2 business days. New and custom builds take longer.
