What is pallet pooling?

PECO Pallet maintains a large nationwide "pool" of high-quality wood pallets. PECO rents pallets to manufacturers, who ship their product to distributors and retailers throughout PECO's extensive service network. Empty pallets are picked up and returned to an authorized depot, where they are inspected, cleaned, and repaired before being reissued. This pallet pooling system is efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable.

Quality & Service

PECO Pallet's signature red pallets are already accepted at more than 450 retail distribution centers across North America, including top supermarket chains, club stores, mass merchandisers, and discount retailers. PECO Pallet's superior quality and service add up to real benefits for retailers.

Unparalleled Pallet Quality

Many retailers prefer working with PECO simply because our high-quality pallets help reduce product damage and streamline operations. We start by manufacturing sturdy wood block GMA pallets that provide superior top deck coverage and work smoothly in automated systems. Unlike plastic pallets, PECO's block pallets can be safely loaded in overhead racks without deflection, and they won't slip in refrigerated DC areas.

Improved Safety

At PECO, we maintain the overall quality of our pallet pool by rigorously inspecting, sorting, cleaning, and repairing pallets each time they cycle through a PECO depot. Strict inspection standards minimize safety problems to people and products. And no harmful chemicals or hazardous materials are ever used on PECO pallets.

Strong Relationships

PECO Pallet understands that retailers are a key component in the pallet rental cycle, and we work hard to build long-term relationships with distributors and retailers. PECO Pallet provides responsive service and innovative solutions throughout the supply chain. As a result, our overall Service Rating with both manufacturers and retailers is consistently above 99.5%.

Better Sustainability

PECO Pallet was founded on the basic principle of reusing pallets to conserve resources. Unlike whitewood pallets, PECO's sturdy block pallets are built from 100% responsibly forested domestic timber and are continually repaired, reused, and recycled. Nothing goes to the landfill.

Quick Pallet Recovery

Unlike the competition, PECO promptly picks up loads of empty pallets so they don't take up valuable warehouse space and become a nuisance. Our innovative online tool, RED<>LINK®, makes it simple for retailers to report full truckloads of empty pallets and request immediate pick-up. PECO also carefully controls our pallet pool to avoid pallet loss or damage, so we don't need to charge for lost pallets.
