What Huntsville makes and ships

Huntsville at a glance

The Huntsville–Decatur area builds rockets, engines and SUVs along I-565 between I-65 and Redstone Arsenal. The Port of Huntsville ties the airport's freighter ramp to a rail-served intermodal center inside Foreign-Trade Zone 83, with direct trains to Charleston and Savannah.

Aerospace and defense define Huntsville. Redstone Arsenal, NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and Cummings Research Park anchor a large engineering workforce, and rockets for government satellite launches are built in Decatur and shipped down the river. Vehicle production has grown alongside: an engine plant opened in 2003, and an assembly plant on a Limestone County megasite started building SUVs in 2021 with room for up to 300,000 vehicles a year. Decatur's major employers also include a poultry processor and a pet-food plant that ships from its riverfront site.

Pallet demand here splits between precision and volume. Defense and space contractors ship costly, oddly shaped hardware on custom skids. Engine and vehicle suppliers buy block pallets in sizes that fit returnable racks, built to a customer print. Food and pet-food plants in Decatur run standard 48x40s. The intermodal center and the international air cargo ramp add import and export containers, so heat-treated pallets matter well inland from any seaport.

How freight moves

I-565 runs about 22 miles from I-65 near Decatur east through Madison, along the south edge of Cummings Research Park and the north edge of Redstone Arsenal, to US 72 in Huntsville. I-65 links the area north to Nashville and south to Birmingham and Mobile. The International Intermodal Center at the airport sits on a five-mile spur to a Class I main line, with customs officers on site around the clock. Since September 11, 2026, a daily direct intermodal train has run between Charleston and Huntsville, alongside existing service to Savannah.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Huntsville.

Vehicle and engine suppliers should order block pallets or custom sizes, usually new, built to the customer's packaging print. Aerospace and defense shippers often need custom skids with exact dimensions and smooth decks. Decatur food and pet-food plants do well with Grade A 48x40 stringers, or new for retail-bound loads. Any wood that leaves the country through the intermodal center, Charleston, Savannah or an international freighter needs HT pallets stamped under ISPM 15. Your account manager confirms the grade spec in writing.

Buying pallets in Huntsville: questions

Can you deliver to warehouses at Jetplex and the International Intermodal Center?
Yes. We deliver truckloads to forwarders, warehouses and plants around Huntsville International Airport and Jetplex Industrial Park. Tell your account manager which loads are export and which are domestic, and we source HT and standard pallets from independent yards and confirm both.
Do containers on the new Huntsville–Charleston rail service need heat-treated pallets?
Only the export boxes, but those do. Once a container sails from Charleston, its wood packaging generally has to meet ISPM 15. Mark the export loads on your order, and your account manager quotes HT pallets marked under ISPM 15 from accredited facilities.
Can suppliers to the Limestone County assembly plant get pallets built to a print?
Yes. Send the drawing or dimensions, the weight and your racking details. We find a yard that builds block or custom pallets to that print, and your account manager puts lumber, size and fasteners on the quote before the first production order.
What pallet should a Redstone-area defense contractor order?
Usually a custom skid or a block pallet with exact dimensions and a smooth top deck, often in new lumber. If the hardware ships overseas, it needs HT stamping under ISPM 15. Send the part dimensions and weight, and your account manager writes the build into the quote.
Do you deliver to plants in Decatur and Athens?
Yes. Food, pet-food and manufacturing plants in Decatur and Athens, and docks along I-65 in Morgan and Limestone counties, are on our delivery map. Share your grade requirements and dock rules, and your account manager confirms the order.
Where can I buy pallets in Huntsville, AL?
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 Huntsville, AL?
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 Huntsville, AL?
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.
