Pallets in Tulsa, OK. Delivered by the truckload.

Tulsa International aerospace

The airline overhaul base at Tulsa International employs more than 5,000 people, most of them licensed aircraft and jet-engine mechanics, and aerostructure work fills the old Air Force Plant No. 3 across the field. Engines, flight-control parts and tooling ship on skids and crates built to drawings, not on grocery pallets.

Port of Catoosa terminals

The Catoosa complex combines an industrial park, a barge port and a rail transload facility, and the port authority courts metals fabrication, agricultural storage, chemicals and general manufacturing. Dry-cargo docks mostly handle iron and steel, while bulk terminals take everything from pig iron to fertilizer. Goods changing modes need pallets that survive repeated forklift trips.

Broken Arrow factory belt

Broken Arrow, split between Tulsa and Wagoner counties, has one of the largest concentrations of manufacturers in Oklahoma, and one of its largest private employers designs and builds aviation crew-training simulators. Assemblies, components and finished equipment leaving these plants are often heavier or bigger than a stock 48x40 handles well, so block pallets and reinforced skids are common requests.

Oil and gas equipment shops

Oil-and-gas equipment ranks among Oklahoma's largest manufacturing industries, and Tulsa remains a headquarters city for energy companies. Valves, pumps and fabricated packages are dense and lopsided, so these shippers usually ask for heavy-duty block pallets or custom runners instead of standard stringer stock.
