What Portland makes and ships

Portland at a glance

Portland is a river port. Grain barges come down the Columbia to export elevators, Terminal 6 is Oregon's only international container terminal, and the Rivergate, Swan Island and Columbia Corridor districts pack industry between the rivers and I-5.

The metro builds semiconductors in Hillsboro, repairs ships in a Swan Island dry dock and moves farm goods from a wide inland region. Wheat barged down the Columbia reaches the export elevator at Terminal 5. Containers move through Terminal 6, renamed the Oregon Container Terminal when a private operator took over in January 2026. Greenhouse and nursery plants rank as Oregon's most valuable farm commodity, and the Willamette Valley grows most of the hazelnuts and grass seed sold in North America.

Pallet demand splits by district. Rivergate and the Columbia Corridor hold transload and distribution buildings that turn import and export freight, most of it on 48x40s. Valley nurseries ship potted stock to buyers out of state each spring. Hazelnut, berry and wine shippers run on harvest calendars, and Hillsboro's tech suppliers need custom crating. Exporters using Terminal 6, the Port of Vancouver or the Puget Sound terminals need heat-treated stock.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-5 runs north across the Columbia to Vancouver and Seattle and south down the Willamette Valley. I-84 follows the Columbia Gorge east toward Boise, I-205 loops the east side past the airport, and US-26 and US-30 serve Hillsboro and the river towns. Terminal 6 has an eight-track on-dock intermodal yard, and grain reaches Terminal 5 by barge. PDX handles air cargo just south of the Columbia. Many Oregon importers and exporters also truck north to the Northwest Seaport Alliance terminals in Tacoma and Seattle.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Portland.

Export cargo through Terminal 6, Vancouver or the Puget Sound ports needs HT pallets marked under ISPM 15. Transload and distribution docks in Rivergate and Troutdale run fine on Grade B 48x40s for most moves and Grade A for retail-bound freight. Hazelnut, berry and wine shippers selling to grocers should order Grade A or AAA. Swan Island and Hillsboro manufacturers usually need block pallets or custom sizes. Nurseries shipping heavy pots may want new wood. Your account manager confirms grade, size and treatment in writing.

Buying pallets in Portland: questions

Do exports through Terminal 6 or the Port of Vancouver need heat-treated pallets?+
Yes, for most overseas markets. ISPM 15 requires wood packaging on export cargo to be heat-treated and marked. Order HT pallets with the ISPM 15 mark from accredited facilities, and tell your account manager the destination country so any added rules get flagged before loading.
Can you deliver to Rivergate and the Columbia Corridor near PDX?+
Yes. We deliver full truckloads to docks in Rivergate, on Swan Island and along the Columbia Corridor out to Gresham and Troutdale. Share your receiving hours and any gate rules at port-area buildings, and your account manager confirms the grade and a delivery date.
What pallets do Willamette Valley hazelnut and wine shippers ask for?+
Shippers selling into grocery DCs usually want Grade A or AAA 48x40s that look and measure the same. Export lots need HT pallets carrying the ISPM 15 stamp. Tell your account manager your harvest window and expected loads, and they quote ahead of the crush or the nut harvest.
Do you deliver across the river to Vancouver, Washington?+
Yes. Warehouses and plants in Vancouver and Clark County, including buildings near the Port of Vancouver USA, are part of the same coverage as Portland. We source from the closest yard with your grade in stock and deliver by the truckload.
Where can I buy pallets in Portland, OR?+
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 Portland, OR?+
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 Portland, OR?+
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.
