Pallets in Kansas. Delivered by the truckload.

Southwest Kansas beef plants

Two beef plants in Dodge City, one in Liberal and one in Holcomb near Garden City process cattle from High Plains feedyards and ship boxed beef nationwide and overseas. Product moves into coolers right off the line, so these docks favor strong AAA or new 48x40s, and export cartons need the ISPM 15 heat-treatment mark.

Wichita aircraft suppliers

Wichita's aircraft plants and the suppliers that feed them build fuselage sections, wing parts, interiors and machined components. Parts are long, light or awkward, so buyers order custom-sized pallets, crates and skids built to the drawing, usually in new lumber, with heat treatment when parts ship abroad.

Salina frozen food and equipment

Salina's frozen-pizza plant ships cases to grocery freezers nationwide, and a farm-equipment maker there sends implements and parts to dealers. Frozen cases ride on Grade A or new 48x40s that hold up in freezers, while implements and parts need block pallets or custom skids sized to the steel.

Edgerton logistics park

Logistics Park Kansas City in Edgerton pairs an intermodal yard with millions of square feet of distribution space, and Gardner, Olathe and Lenexa add more warehouses on I-35. These buildings unload containers and serve stores across the Plains on standard recycled 48x40s that need to match the grade on every order.
