For each load we buy from an independent yard close to your dock that has your grade in stock, and the delivered price includes the freight.

Manchester at a glance

What Manchester makes and moves.

Manchester's own payroll now runs to hospitals, colleges, banks and tech offices in the old riverside Millyard, so goods production sits mostly in the towns around it. Merrimack has hosted a large brewery since 1970, along with defense-systems, electro-optics, sterile medical-device and coated-fabric plants. Londonderry, known for its apple orchards, is headquarters to an organic yogurt maker and an animal-feed company and has a soft-drink bottling facility. At the airport, a parcel carrier sorts packages flown in from its main hub to feed northern New England.

Pallet demand here comes in three flavors. Beverage and dairy plants run steady numbers of 48x40s that must stack and wrap cleanly for grocery receivers. Defense and medical-device makers ship fewer, pricier loads, often crated, on new or custom pallets. Parcel and retail warehouses near the airport go through recycled pallets quickly and care most that every one matches in size and height.

How freight moves

Ports, rail and interstates.

I-93 runs north to Concord and south toward Boston, and I-293 loops along the city's west side with the Everett Turnpike, which continues south through Merrimack and Nashua to the Massachusetts line. NH 101 is a freeway from Bedford east to I-95 at Hampton on the Seacoast. Raymond Wieczorek Drive, opened in 2011, links the airport and Route 3A in Litchfield to the Everett Turnpike and US 3 in Bedford. Export containers move through Boston's Conley Terminal, which Massport calls New England's only full-service container terminal, and Portsmouth's Market Street terminal handles general cargo.

Which pallet to order

The right grade for Manchester.

Brewery, bottling and yogurt docks should order Grade A or AAA 48x40s with tight decks and no protruding nails, because cases and shrink wrap tear on bad boards. Merrimack's defense and medical plants usually need new or custom pallets, with block construction for heavy instruments. Parcel and retail buildings near the airport can run Grade B for internal moves and Grade A for outbound freight. Export shipments through Conley Terminal, or out by air, need HT pallets with the ISPM 15 mark from accredited facilities.

Straight answers

Buying pallets in Manchester.

Can you deliver pallets to warehouses near Manchester–Boston Regional Airport?+
Yes. We deliver full truckloads to docks around the airport in Manchester, Londonderry and Litchfield, including sites reached from Raymond Wieczorek Drive. Send appointment rules with the order, and your account manager confirms grade, quantity and delivery details in writing before booking.
What pallet does a brewery or bottler in Merrimack or Londonderry need?+
Beverage docks usually run 48x40 stringer pallets in Grade A or AAA, since full cases are heavy and wrapped tight. Look for consistent board thickness and intact lead boards that won't catch on conveyors. Grocery receivers may publish their own pallet rules, so share them and we match them.
Do defense contractors in Merrimack need heat-treated pallets?+
Only when wood packaging leaves the country or a contract calls for it. Export freight needs HT pallets carrying the ISPM 15 stamp from ALSC-accredited facilities. Many defense and medical shippers also write their own pallet specs, so send the drawing and your account manager confirms construction and treatment.
Can you deliver to the Seacoast as well as Manchester?+
Yes. We deliver full truckloads east along NH 101 to Exeter, Portsmouth and Newington, and down I-93 to Salem. Give us each dock address and its appointment rules, and your account manager puts the pallet spec and delivery details for every site on the quote.
What do pallets cost delivered to Manchester, NH?+
Today's full-truckload ranges run from $4.75 a pallet for Grade B to $10.50 for AAA, freight included. Heat-treated adds $1.00–$1.50. Your ZIP, grade and count set the firm price on the call.
When will a load reach Manchester, NH?+
Your dock date in writing on every quote. Standard 48x40s often land in 0–2 business days. New and custom builds take longer. Your account manager puts the exact date on the quote, before you send a PO. Loads ship as full trucks: a 53' trailer holds 616 recycled 48x40s.
