What Columbia makes and ships

Columbia at a glance

Columbia sits where I-20, I-26 and I-77 meet in the middle of South Carolina. Parcel jets work a regional air hub at the airport, distribution sites fill Saxe Gotha Industrial Park near Cayce, and port freight runs down I-26 to Charleston.

State government, the University of South Carolina and Fort Jackson are big employers, but the Midlands also makes things. A tire plant runs near Lexington, and manufacturers across the metro build industrial equipment, electrical gear and advanced materials. In Blythewood, off I-77 north of the city, a vehicle plant is under construction, and its maker says customer deliveries are slated for 2028. Saxe Gotha Industrial Park holds distribution sites for national retailers and a restaurant chain, and a parcel carrier has run a regional air hub at Columbia Metropolitan Airport since 1996.

Columbia's job in the state's freight network is the middle, and its docks reflect that. Distribution centers fan loads out on three interstates, so they burn through recycled 48x40s and expect them sorted. Tire and equipment plants ship heavy, dense loads that need sturdier builds. Plants tied to vehicle production buy to engineering specs. Midlands exporters truck their containers to Charleston, so heat-treated pallets come up more often than you might expect this far from the coast.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-26 crosses the metro on its way from Charleston to Spartanburg, I-20 runs east–west toward Florence and Augusta, and I-77 begins at I-26 in Cayce and heads north past Fort Jackson and Blythewood to Charlotte. I-126 feeds downtown from the west. A rail line crosses Cayce, and the city grew as one of the state's main rail junctions. Columbia Metropolitan Airport hosts a parcel carrier's regional air hub, a cargo terminal at CAE Park and Foreign-Trade Zone 127. For ocean freight, the Port of Charleston is the gateway, down I-26.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Columbia.

Distribution centers in Saxe Gotha and along I-77 should start with recycled Grade A 48x40 stringers for outbound and Grade B for internal moves. Food distributors and cooler docks do better with AAA or new. Tire, equipment and vehicle-parts plants usually need block pallets or custom sizes built for the weight. Containers trucked to Charleston for export need HT pallets stamped under ISPM 15. Not sure which grade your customers will accept? Your account manager confirms the grade spec in writing before the first load.

Buying pallets in Columbia: questions

Can you deliver to warehouses in Saxe Gotha Industrial Park?
Yes. We deliver truckloads to distribution sites in Saxe Gotha near Cayce and elsewhere along I-26 in Lexington County. Share your dock address, appointment rules and the grade your outbound customers expect, and your account manager confirms it.
Do you deliver to suppliers setting up near the Blythewood vehicle plant?
Yes. We deliver along I-77 from Killian Road to Blythewood and into Fairfield County. Vehicle suppliers usually work from a customer packaging spec, so send the drawing or dimensions, and your account manager sources block or custom builds to match from an independent yard.
Do Midlands exporters need heat-treated pallets for loads going to Charleston?
If the pallets go overseas with the cargo, yes. Most destination countries follow ISPM 15, which calls for heat treatment and the stamp. Flag export loads separately, and we quote HT pallets from accredited facilities for just those trucks.
What pallet do food distributors around Columbia ask for?
Most want Grade A or AAA 48x40s with sound boards that hold up in coolers and stay square under stacked cases. Some specify new lumber. Tell your account manager what your QA team checks at receiving, and that list goes into the written order.
Can you supply plants near the airport and FTZ 127?
Yes. Plants and warehouses around Columbia Metropolitan Airport, CAE Park and the West Columbia side of the river are on our delivery map. Send your dock details and pallet spec, and your account manager confirms grade and quantity before scheduling.
Where can I buy pallets in Columbia, 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.
What do pallets cost delivered to Columbia, SC?
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 Columbia, 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.
