What Harrisburg makes and ships

Harrisburg at a glance

Harrisburg sits where I-81, I-83, I-76 and I-283 meet beside the Susquehanna, and I-78 begins just up I-81 in Lebanon County. Warehouses line the Cumberland Valley, candy plants run in Hershey, and rail yards at Enola and Rutherford handle freight trains and containers.

State and federal government employ the most people around Harrisburg, but the region has also become a center for trade, warehousing and distribution. Cumberland County's development agency lists warehouses run by national e-commerce, discount-apparel, consumer-goods and paper companies, a regional grocer and a third-party logistics firm. Food is the other big mover: a new chocolate plant opened in West Hershey in 2012, and Cumberland County's manufacturers include dairy, cheese and pet-food plants drawing on more than 1,100 farms. Roofing and lift-equipment makers round out the list.

Warehouse docks along I-81 move standard 48x40 stringers between suppliers, DCs and stores, so buyers think about grade and consistency more than construction. Candy, dairy and pet-food plants want clean decks and square stacks that pass retail receiving. Roofing rolls and machine parts need block pallets or custom sizes. Containers loaded here for Philadelphia, Baltimore or a rail ramp need heat-treated wood if the cargo is going overseas.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-81 runs the length of the Cumberland Valley toward Hagerstown and northeast to Scranton. I-83 climbs from Baltimore through York to meet I-81 north of the city, I-76, the Turnpike, passes Camp Hill and Carlisle, and I-78 starts at I-81 in Lebanon County for Allentown and New Jersey. Freight trains sort at Enola Yard across the river, containers load at the Rutherford and Harrisburg intermodal yards, and another rail ramp works in Chambersburg. Harrisburg International handles air cargo, and ocean freight moves through Philadelphia and Baltimore.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Harrisburg.

For DCs along I-81, Grade A recycled 48x40 stringers handle outbound retail freight, and Grade B covers storage and returns; ask your account manager to note each receiver's pallet rules on the order. Candy and cheese plants often step up to AAA or new pallets so printed cases arrive clean. Roofing and equipment makers should spec block pallets or custom sizes rated for the load. Containers stuffed at Rutherford or trucked to Philadelphia or Baltimore for export need HT pallets with the ISPM 15 mark.

Buying pallets in Harrisburg: questions

Can you deliver to distribution centers around Carlisle and the I-81 corridor?
Yes. We deliver full truckloads to DCs in Carlisle, Mechanicsburg, Middlesex Township and along I-81 toward Shippensburg. Big retail receivers often publish pallet rules and require booked appointments, so send both with the order, and your account manager confirms grade and delivery details in writing.
Do loads that leave Rutherford by train need special pallets?
Domestic intermodal freight can ride on standard pallets. What matters is the final destination: if the container is headed to a seaport for export, the wood packaging needs ISPM 15 treatment. Tell your account manager where the box ends up, and we quote HT pallets carrying the ISPM 15 stamp whenever they're required.
What pallet do confectionery shippers around Hershey usually order?
Most retail candy leaves on 48x40 stringer pallets in Grade A or better, and many grocery and club-store receivers publish their own pallet rules. Flat, clean tops protect printed cartons from scuffs. Grades aren't industry-standardized, so your account manager spells out what your grade includes on the written order.
Can you supply dairy and pet-food plants in Cumberland County?
Yes. We deliver full truckloads to food plants across Cumberland, Dauphin and Lebanon counties. Dense loads like cheese and bagged pet food call for strong stringers and tight decks, and some plants require new pallets. Send your plant's spec and your account manager matches it in writing.
Where can I buy pallets in Harrisburg, PA?
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 Harrisburg, PA?
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 Harrisburg, PA?
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.
