What Roanoke makes and ships

Roanoke at a glance

Roanoke grew up as a railroad town, and the valley is still a major hub on the freight line between the Port of Virginia and the Midwest. Trucks work I-81 and I-581, hauling tires, axles, packaging, beer and baked goods from plants around the valley.

Health care now employs the most people in Roanoke, but manufacturing and retail each make up more than a tenth of the valley's industry. The Roanoke Regional Partnership counts 25 transportation-equipment firms with more than 5,700 workers making tires, axles, aerial cranes, rail equipment, ignition coils and clutch plates. Nearly 50 food and beverage firms run production breweries and dairy, meat, soft-drink and baking plants, and about 60 packaging firms print and convert corrugated, metal and plastic. A power-transformer maker and a night-vision device plant also operate in the city.

That mix asks for more than one kind of pallet. Tire, axle and transformer plants ship dense, heavy freight that needs block pallets or custom skids. Breweries, bakeries and bottlers ship retail cases on standard 48x40s. Packaging plants both use and ship pallets, moving board, cartons and bags to customer plants. Export freight bound for the Port of Virginia, by truck or rail, needs heat-treated wood.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-81 runs past Salem and the valley's north side, linking the region to Harrisburg and Tennessee and, by I-64, to Richmond and Norfolk. I-581 and US 220 carry traffic downtown and south toward Martinsville and Greensboro, and US 460 crosses the city between Lynchburg and Christiansburg. Rail freight runs on the Heartland and Crescent corridors, and the Heartland is a double-stack route from the Port of Virginia to the Midwest. The railroad also runs a bulk transfer terminal in Roanoke. The region has a customs port of entry and a foreign-trade zone.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Roanoke.

Tire, axle and transformer shippers should spec block pallets or custom skids sized to the part and rated for the weight, since standard recycled stock isn't built for that load. Breweries, bakeries and soft-drink plants do well with Grade A 48x40s, or AAA where cases ride conveyors. Packaging plants often want new pallets or custom sizes that match their sheet and carton footprints. Freight moving to the Port of Virginia for export needs HT pallets stamped under ISPM 15, whether it travels by truck or on the Heartland Corridor.

Buying pallets in Roanoke: questions

Do pallets on containers moving by rail to the Port of Virginia need heat treatment?
If the container is going overseas, yes. Most importing countries require wood packaging treated and marked under ISPM 15, so order HT pallets carrying the ISPM 15 stamp from accredited heat-treatment facilities. Domestic intermodal loads on the Heartland Corridor can use untreated new or recycled pallets.
What should a tire, axle or transformer plant order for heavy parts?
Heavy, dense parts usually need block pallets or custom skids with thicker runners and close deck spacing, built to the load and how it gets lifted. Give us the weight, footprint and any customer packaging standard, and your account manager confirms lumber and construction in writing.
Can you deliver to breweries and food plants in the Roanoke Valley?
Yes. We deliver full truckloads to food and beverage plants in Roanoke, Salem, Roanoke County and Botetourt County. Brewers and bakers often have their own pallet rules for grocery customers, so send those with the order and your account manager matches them on the written confirmation.
Do you cover the New River Valley as well as Roanoke?
Yes. We deliver full truckloads along I-81 to Christiansburg, Blacksburg and Dublin as well as across the Roanoke Valley. Give us each dock address and appointment rules, and your account manager confirms the pallet spec and delivery details for each site before booking.
Where can I buy pallets in Roanoke, VA?
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 Roanoke, VA?
