What Tucson makes and ships

Tucson at a glance

Tucson sits on I-10 between Phoenix and El Paso, where I-19 runs south to the Nogales crossing. A Class I main line linking the Los Angeles ports with the South passes through town, and the Port of Tucson adds rail transload and cold storage.

Tucson's economy leans on the university, aerospace and defense, optics and copper. Davis-Monthan Air Force Base sits on the southeast edge, a missile and defense contractor ranks among the largest employers, and roughly 150 optics firms earned the area the 'Optics Valley' nickname. South of town, copper mines near Sahuarita and Marana and a pecan orchard of more than 6,000 acres shape the Santa Cruz Valley. Produce from Mexico's farm belt enters at Nogales and rides I-19 north through Tucson toward I-10.

Pallet demand follows that split. Aerospace and optics makers need precise, often custom pallets. Produce shippers and the cold storage at the Port of Tucson want sturdy pallets that handle refrigeration. Distribution buildings along I-10 in Marana and near the airport run standard 48x40s. And anything headed south into Sonora needs ISPM 15 heat treatment, since Mexico requires it on wood packaging.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-10 runs northwest to Phoenix and east to Las Cruces and El Paso. I-19 runs about 63 miles south to Nogales, where SR 189 connects to the Mariposa port of entry and Mexican Federal Highway 15; the route is part of the CANAMEX trade corridor. The Class I main line linking the Los Angeles ports with the South and Southeast runs through Tucson. Tucson International Airport, south of downtown, offers freight service. Cross-border trade through Nogales also connects to the deep-sea port at Guaymas, Sonora.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Tucson.

Tucson orders split by destination. Produce and cold-storage loads want strong Grade A 48x40s or new pallets that stay square in coolers; heat treatment kills pests but does not prevent mold. Anything trucked south through Nogales needs heat-treated (HT) pallets stamped under ISPM 15. Aerospace, optics and mining-equipment shippers often need block pallets for heavy assemblies or custom sizes built to a drawing. DCs along I-10 in Marana can use Grade B for internal moves and Grade A outbound.

Buying pallets in Tucson: questions

Can you deliver to produce warehouses in Nogales and Rio Rico?
Yes. Docks along I-19 in Santa Cruz County, including Nogales and Rio Rico, are part of our Tucson-area coverage. Produce houses usually want sturdy 48x40s for cooled, high-stacked loads; your account manager spells out grade, size and receiving rules on the quote.
Do loads heading south into Sonora need heat-treated pallets?
Yes. Mexico requires ISPM 15 on wood packaging in international trade, so any pallet going south through Nogales should be heat treated and stamped. Domestic loads heading to Phoenix or El Paso do not need it. Your account manager notes the requirement on your order.
Can you supply rail and cold-storage tenants at the Port of Tucson?
Yes. We deliver to buildings at the Port of Tucson on the southeast side, whether the freight is rail transload, public warehousing or temperature-controlled storage. Share the building, dock and any gate rules, and your account manager confirms the spec.
What pallets suit aerospace and optics shipments?
Precision assemblies often need new or AAA pallets built to an exact footprint, or custom sizes with extra deck coverage. Heavy test equipment may call for block pallets with true 4-way entry. Exports need heat-treated wood. Send drawings, and your account manager puts the build on the quote.
Do you deliver to Marana and the I-10 corridor northwest of town?
Yes. Distribution and industrial docks in Marana and along I-10 toward Pinal County are covered, along with sites near Tucson International Airport. Each order gets a written confirmation of grade, size and receiving details from your account manager.
