What Denver makes and ships

Denver at a glance

Most Denver freight converges north of downtown, where I-70, I-76 and I-270 tie together near Commerce City. From there, trucks fan out along the Front Range and across the Mountain West, while air cargo flies from Denver International Airport on the eastern plains.

Metro Denver pairs food and beverage production with regional distribution. Economic developers count food and beverage among the region's core industries, from breweries and distilleries to packaged-food plants. DCs line the East I-70 corridor into Aurora and run north up I-76 through Commerce City, Henderson and Brighton, where rail-served yards handle heavier freight. A temperature-controlled grocery DC in Thornton restocks stores across a wide territory. Two Class I railroads serve the region, and a newer rail logistics park sits farther out on I-76 at Hudson.

Denver has no seaport within a day's drive, and FHWA freight data show almost all of the region's tonnage on domestic lanes. That puts the weight on Grade A and Grade B 48x40s for DCs, strong pallets for beverage plants, and custom sizes for rail-served makers. Winter adds a wrinkle: CDOT closes the I-70 mountain corridor for safety, which can stack up freight coming from the west.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-25 runs the Front Range north toward Cheyenne and south to Colorado Springs and Pueblo, while I-70 climbs over the Rockies toward Utah and crosses the plains toward Kansas. I-76 angles northeast to Nebraska, and I-270 and E-470 link those routes around the north and east sides. FHWA notes the I-25 interchanges with I-76, I-70 and I-225 as bottlenecks. Two Class I railroads serve the region. With no water port nearby, overseas freight leaves by rail or truck for Pacific or Gulf ports, or by air from DEN.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Denver.

Most Denver docks run Grade A 48x40 stringer pallets, a partial 4-way design that suits standard racking and pallet jacks. Grocery and cold-chain DCs in Thornton and along I-70 should ask for new or AAA pallets that keep their shape in the freezer. Breweries and beverage plants stacking dense freight need strong top decks. Rail-served makers along I-76 often do better with block pallets or custom sizes. Grade B suits one-way shipments, and heat-treated (HT) pallets stamped under ISPM 15 are only needed when freight leaves the country.

Buying pallets in Denver: questions

Can you deliver to DCs on the I-76 corridor out to Hudson?+
Yes. Docks in Commerce City, Henderson, Brighton and the Hudson rail park are part of our Denver coverage. Tell us the building, receiving rules and whether the site is rail-served, and your account manager confirms grade, size and delivery details in writing.
What pallets do Denver breweries and beverage plants ask for?+
Dense loads of cans, bottles and kegs need strong 48x40s, usually Grade A or AAA with solid top decks, and some plants specify a block design for their conveyors. Send your spec or a photo of a pallet that works, and your account manager confirms the match.
Do winter I-70 closures affect pallet deliveries?+
They can affect freight crossing the Rockies, since CDOT closes the mountain corridor during storms. Each load is bought from the closest yard with your grade in stock, so the passes are usually not on the route. Still, flag hard deadlines in winter and your account manager will plan around the weather.
Do cold-storage docks in Thornton and Aurora need special pallets?+
Freezer rooms want new or top-grade recycled pallets with sound boards that stay square under condensation and forklift wear. Heat treatment kills pests but does not stop mold, so storage conditions still matter.
Do Denver exporters shipping by air need heat-treated pallets?+
Yes, if the freight leaves the country. ISPM 15 covers wood packaging in international trade by any mode, so pallets under air cargo bound abroad from DEN need heat treatment and the IPPC stamp. Domestic shipments, which make up most Denver freight, can use untreated pallets.
Where can I buy pallets in Denver, CO?+
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 Denver, CO?+
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 Denver, CO?+
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.
