What Lexington makes and ships

Lexington at a glance

Lexington sits where I-64 and I-75 meet in the Bluegrass. Cased bourbon from Frankfort and Versailles, peanut butter from a Winchester Road plant, horse feed and machinery all funnel through the same interchanges on their way to customers.

Central Kentucky mixes horse country with heavy industry. Thoroughbred farms ring the city, and Bourbon County alone counts nearly 50 of them. The Kentucky Distillers' Association says 95% of the world's bourbon is made in the state, with about 17.1 million barrels aging, and distilleries work in Frankfort, Versailles and Lexington itself. A large peanut butter plant runs on Winchester Road, a crane maker and an industrial-fan maker are headquartered in the city, and a vehicle plant in Georgetown employs roughly 10,000.

Each of those industries asks for a different pallet. Bottling halls ship cased bourbon on 48x40s and want stacks that wrap tight for long truck runs. Food plants want smooth decks that suit conveyors. Feed mills and farm-supply warehouses move bagged product that needs strong top boards. Crane and machinery builders ship heavy, awkward parts that call for block pallets or builds to a drawing, and exporters flying freight out of Kentucky's air hubs still need treated wood.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-75 and I-64 run together along Lexington's north and east edges; I-64 then splits west to Frankfort and Louisville, and I-75 heads north through Georgetown to Cincinnati's Brent Spence Bridge. South, I-75 crosses the Kentucky River at Clays Ferry toward Richmond. US 25, 27, 60, 68 and 421 radiate from town. Blue Grass Airport handles passengers, so air freight goes through CVG, which ranks fifth in the U.S. for cargo traffic per federal data, or through Louisville. Ocean containers leave central Kentucky by truck or rail for coastal ports.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Lexington.

Bottlers and food plants should start with AAA or new 48x40s, which hold cased glass and conveyor loads flat, and add HT pallets marked under ISPM 15 for anything leaving the country, including air shipments through CVG. DCs along I-75 do fine on recycled Grade A for outbound freight and Grade B for storage. Crane, machinery and metal shops shipping dense parts should ask about block pallets or custom sizes. Feed and farm-supply warehouses moving bagged product need tight top decks so bags don't sag between boards.

Buying pallets in Lexington: questions

What pallet do bourbon bottlers in Frankfort and Versailles usually order?
Cased bottles are heavy and breakable, so a tight 48x40 with few repaired boards, AAA or new, suits most bottling lines. If cases ship overseas, use HT pallets with the ISPM 15 mark. Grades aren't standardized, so your account manager writes your spec down before the order is confirmed.
Do air exports through CVG or Louisville need heat-treated pallets?
Yes, if the freight rides on wood. ISPM 15 covers wood packaging in international trade whatever the mode, so palletized air shipments need treated, stamped wood too. Order HT pallets carrying the ISPM 15 stamp from ALSC-accredited facilities and keep the mark where the forwarder can see it.
Can you deliver to suppliers and warehouses around Georgetown?
Yes. We deliver full truckloads to docks in Scott County and up the I-75 corridor, as well as across Fayette, Woodford and Clark counties. Share your receiving hours and any appointment system when you order, and your account manager confirms delivery details in writing.
What works for bagged horse feed and farm supplies?
Bagged feed and seed press hard into the gaps between deckboards. Ask for a 48x40 with a tighter top deck, Grade A or AAA, or a new pallet if bags are heavy and stacked high. Recycled Grade B is fine for storage and internal moves around the warehouse.

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 Lexington, KY?
