What Charleston makes and ships

Charleston at a glance

Charleston freight starts at the water. Boxes come off ships at Wando Welch, North Charleston and the Leatherman Terminal, then ride I-26 to import warehouses in Ladson, Summerville and Ridgeville, or board overnight trains for the inland ports at Greer and Dillon.

The port sets the tempo here. SC Ports works container ships at Wando Welch in Mount Pleasant, at North Charleston and at the Leatherman Terminal, which opened on the old Navy Base in 2021 and can take ships of up to 20,000 TEU. Columbus Street handles vehicles and breakbulk. Manufacturing followed the water: North Charleston is one of three places in the world where widebody long-range jetliners are assembled, vans have been built at Palmetto Commerce Park since 2006, and a car plant anchors Camp Hall in Ridgeville.

Two kinds of pallet buyers come out of that. Import warehouses strip floor-loaded containers and rebuild the cartons onto 48x40s for store networks, so they cycle recycled stringers constantly. Plants and their suppliers buy to an engineering spec, often block or custom, for parts that can't shift in transit. Exporters loading boxes near the terminals add a third need: heat-treated wood with the ISPM 15 mark. The regional development alliance counts about 80 million square feet of industrial space, with more under construction.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-26 starts downtown and runs past North Charleston and the airport to Summerville, Ridgeville and on to Columbia, while I-526, the Mark Clark Expressway, loops from West Ashley to Mount Pleasant near Wando Welch. Two Class I railroads serve North Charleston, and SC Ports is finishing the Navy Base Intermodal Facility, tied to Leatherman by a one-mile private drayage road. Overnight trains link the harbor with Inland Port Greer on I-85 and Inland Port Dillon on I-95. Charleston International Airport shares its runways with the air base.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Charleston.

Import warehouses do best with recycled Grade A 48x40 stringers for outbound store loads and Grade B for shuttles inside the building. Aerospace and vehicle suppliers should spec block pallets or custom sizes, usually new, matched to the part and the rack. Anything stuffed into an export container near the terminals needs HT pallets stamped under ISPM 15. Lowcountry humidity soaks pallets left outdoors, so plan covered storage for spares. Your account manager confirms grade and construction in writing before the first truck.

Buying pallets in Charleston: questions

Can you deliver to import warehouses in Ladson, Summerville and Jedburg?
Yes. We deliver truckloads to warehouses along the I-26 corridor from North Charleston to Ridgeville. Tell your account manager how many containers you strip each week and what your outbound customers require, and we match the grade and confirm it before the first truck.
Do export boxes stuffed near the Charleston terminals need heat-treated pallets?
If the pallets leave the country with the cargo, yes. Most trading partners follow ISPM 15, which calls for heat treatment and the stamp. Mark which loads are export, and your account manager sources HT pallets from accredited facilities for just those trucks.
What pallet do aerospace suppliers in North Charleston usually ask for?
Most aerospace parts ride on block pallets or custom skids, often new lumber, sized to the part and its packaging. Send the drawing, weight and handling method, and your account manager finds an independent yard that builds to it and spells out the spec on the quote.
Can you deliver to Camp Hall and plants in Berkeley County?
Yes. Plants and suppliers in Ridgeville, Camp Hall, Goose Creek and Moncks Corner are on our delivery map. Many vehicle suppliers need pallets built to a customer print, and your account manager confirms dimensions, lumber and grade before production starts.
How should we store spare pallets in Charleston's humidity?
Indoors if you can. Wood left outside through a Lowcountry summer picks up moisture, which adds weight and can stain cartons. If pallets have to stay outdoors, keep them off the ground and covered, and ask your account manager which grade suits your turnover.
Where can I buy pallets in Charleston, SC?
From us, by the full truckload: 616 recycled 48x40s per truck, or 520 block pallets. Call (470) 206-3352 or book a test load.

When will a load reach Charleston, SC?
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.
