Pallets deliveredin New Hampshire.
New Hampshire's freight is mostly made, not grown. Precision machine shops and aerospace suppliers line the Merrimack Valley, and their parts move down I-93 and the Everett Turnpike toward Boston or leave on cargo jets from Manchester-Boston Regional Airport.

616How we supply it
An Atlanta broker, a yard near your plant.
Chesapeake Pallets is a pallet broker based in Atlanta. We don't run a yard in New Hampshire. For each load we buy from an independent yard close to your dock that has your grade in stock, and the delivered price includes the freight. One account manager handles the quote, the paperwork and the invoice.

New Hampshire at a glance
What New Hampshire makes and moves.
Manufacturing produces roughly a tenth of the state's output, and much of it is high-value work. Shops in Manchester, Hooksett and Nashua machine metal components for aircraft engines, defense programs and space hardware. Food production is smaller but distinctive: a Swiss chocolate maker's plant in Stratham roasts and processes cocoa beans on site. Warehouses have also grown up around the airport in Manchester, where cargo carriers handled a record volume in 2025, and the Seacoast ties into the state's port in Portsmouth.
That mix gives New Hampshire a different pallet profile from a big-box state. Many shippers send smaller, heavier loads of parts and assemblies, often to customers who inspect packaging on arrival. Aerospace and defense suppliers export, which brings ISPM 15 into the spec. Parcel and retail buildings near the airport and along I-93 cycle standard 48x40s, while Seacoast food makers want pallets that pass a grocery receiving check.
Who buys pallets here
The docks that run on pallets in New Hampshire.
- 01
Merrimack Valley machine shops
Precision shops in Manchester, Hooksett and Nashua machine complex metal parts for commercial and military aircraft, defense systems and space programs. The parts are dense and expensive, so shippers want full deck coverage and sturdy stringers or blocks, often sized to crates and fixtures. Export orders add a heat-treatment stamp to the requirement.

Airport-area logistics buildings
Logistics warehouses built around Manchester-Boston Regional Airport over the past decade handle parcel and retail freight for northern New England. These buildings turn standard 48x40 pallets quickly. They care more about getting a consistent grade across a delivery than about new lumber, and Grade B often handles internal moves.
3PL & warehousing → - 03
Seacoast confectionery and food
The Stratham chocolate plant takes in cocoa beans and ships finished candy to retail distribution, and smaller food makers dot the Seacoast and the Merrimack Valley. Grocery receivers reject broken or stained pallets, so these plants usually order sound Grade A or AAA 48x40s and keep an eye on moisture in storage.

How freight moves
Ports, rail and interstates.
I-93 carries freight from Concord through Manchester and Salem toward Boston, while the F.E. Everett Turnpike links Concord, Manchester, Merrimack and Nashua with US 3 at the Massachusetts line. I-89 runs northwest to Vermont, and I-95 crosses the short Seacoast between Massachusetts and Maine. Manchester-Boston Regional Airport is the state's air-cargo field. In Portsmouth, the Market Street Marine Terminal is New Hampshire's only public general cargo terminal, reached by a short connector from I-95. The nearest full-service container port is Boston's Conley Terminal.

Which pallet to order
The right grade for New Hampshire.
Precision manufacturers should order Grade A or new pallets, and block or custom sizes when crates and fixtures don't fit a 48x40. Aerospace and defense exports need HT pallets stamped under ISPM 15 from ALSC-accredited facilities. Airport-area warehouses doing parcel and retail freight can run Grade B for storage and Grade A for outbound retail loads. Seacoast food plants generally choose Grade A or AAA. Grade definitions differ from yard to yard, so your account manager confirms the spec in writing.
