Pallets in Shreveport, LA. Delivered by the truckload.

Port of Caddo-Bossier tenants

The port's roughly 5,000-acre complex on the Red River has more than 25 miles of track with daily switching, a general cargo dock with bridge cranes, and a 90,000-square-foot covered warehouse beside rail-served hardstand. Tenants swap freight among barge, rail and truck, and staged goods need pallets that stack tall under cover.

Robotic fulfillment floors

NLEP points to a three-million-square-foot fulfillment warehouse in the region run with robotics and AI. Consumer goods arrive there from vendors on 48x40 pallets, and automated conveyors, lifts and storage systems expect uniform footprints, intact bottom boards and no protruding nails or loose blocks.

North Louisiana poultry and drinks

NLEP calls poultry Louisiana's largest food industry and notes that processors in its region keep reinvesting in their plants; beverage bottlers also appear among its major food employers. Boxed chicken and cased drinks headed to grocery and food-service DCs need Grade A or new pallets that hold up in coolers and on wet floors.

Metal and machinery shops

Metal makers and fabricators, plus 34 machinery plants, give northwest Louisiana a heavy-goods base, along with builders of modular equipment structures. Steel parts, machines and enclosures ship dense and irregular, so these shops order block pallets or custom skids sized to each part and rated for the load.
