What Lincoln makes and ships

Lincoln at a glance

Lincoln is Nebraska's capital and university town, with a factory district on its north side. Passenger rail cars and off-road vehicles leave a northwest Lincoln plant, Hobson Yard sorts freight trains, and I-80 reaches Omaha 53 miles to the northeast.

State government, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and Lincoln Public Schools head the employer list, but manufacturing and transport carry real weight. The Lincoln Partnership for Economic Development counts more than 14,000 manufacturing workers in the metro. Major plants make recreational and utility vehicles, light rail cars and industrial robots, electronic components, plated and anodized metal parts, auto exhaust systems and industrial battery chargers, and a consumer-health plant makes over-the-counter medicines. Food comes from a smoked-ham and pork plant and an air-chilled poultry processor.

Lincoln buyers fall into three camps. Vehicle, rail-car and electronics plants need custom sizes and block pallets for heavy or awkward assemblies, often built to an engineering drawing. Ham, poultry and pet-food plants want strong 48x40s that hold up in coolers and pass retail receiving checks. A railroad with more than 1,000 Lincoln workers, a large truckload carrier and a foodservice distributor keep cross-docks moving with standard recycled pallets.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-80 passes Lincoln with seven interchanges, and I-180 spurs into downtown. US-77 is a four-lane limited-access route, and Nebraska Highway 2 is a primary trucking route linking the Kansas City area's I-29 with I-80. US-6 and US-34 fill in east and west. Two Class I railroads serve the city, plus a locally owned short line, and Hobson Yard sorts cars over a hump. Lincoln Airport lists no air cargo, so the development partnership points shippers to Eppley Airfield, 50 miles northeast. Foreign Trade Zone 59 includes a magnet site at Lincoln Airpark West.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Lincoln.

Match the pallet to the plant. The vehicle and rail-car plant and other heavy manufacturers order custom sizes, block pallets or new skids built to drawings. Ham, poultry and pet-food lines do best with AAA or new 48x40s that stay square in coolers and pass retail receiving checks. Electronics and finishing shops can use Grade A recycled for boxed goods, and rail and truck cross-docks run Grade B. Parts crated for export need heat-treated (HT) pallets stamped under ISPM 15, and your account manager confirms the grade spec in writing.

Buying pallets in Lincoln: questions

Can you build pallets to a drawing for vehicle and equipment plants in northwest Lincoln?
Yes. Send the drawing, or the length, width, weight and entry requirements, and your account manager sources a custom build from an independent yard and spells out the spec on the quote. Block styles suit heavy assemblies that forklifts must pick up from any side.
What pallet do Lincoln ham, poultry and pet-food plants use?
Most order AAA or new 48x40s with tight decks that stand up to coolers and wet floors. Retail and foodservice receivers often publish their own rules, so share them with the order and your account manager confirms grade, deck coverage and nail spec.
Do you deliver to sites at Airpark West in Foreign Trade Zone 59?
Yes. Warehouses and plants at Airpark West receive full truckloads like any other Lancaster County dock. Tell your account manager about gate check-in or zone procedures, and the grade, size and delivery details are confirmed before the truck is booked.
Can one order cover a Lincoln plant and an Omaha warehouse?
Yes. We quote each ship-to separately, buying from a yard near each dock, so a Lincoln plant and an Omaha or Council Bluffs warehouse can run the same grade spec. Send both addresses and your account manager confirms the details.
Where can I buy pallets in Lincoln, NE?
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 Lincoln, NE?
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 Lincoln, NE?
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.
