We are proud to announce that One Way Solutions has been in business for 22 years. As a third generation family run company, we pride ourselves on having a long and distinguished history as pallet experts serving all industries.
The knowledge and passion for pallets has been passed down over the decades in the Pigott family, and has now officially stood the test of time.
Things started back in the 1980’s, when the Pigott family was part of one of the very first plastic pallet companies called Nucon Corp.
During those early years, the Pigotts had to fight hard for proving the long term benefits and ROI of the plastic pallet, since it requires a higher upfront cost. (Did you know that plastic pallets can last 10 years or more, whereas wood pallets sometime only last one trip?)
Good thing they stuck with it. One Way was born in 2002 to serve the emerging needs of the material handling industry.
FUN FACT: we were founded at a time when new international regulations (later known as ISPM-15 regulations) would require wood export pallets to be either heat-treated or fumigated.
Our team here at One Way takes a strong stance on providing companies like yours exceptional products, industry leading prices and outstanding customer service.
We know you have many options when it comes to pallets, and so we work hard to offer a variety of products that will suit your shipping and storage needs at the absolute best possible price.
Not only that, but if we don’t currently carry something you’re looking for, we will do the work to find it – or create it. That’s right, we even do custom pallets to your desired specifications.
The core of our values has always been about relationships, and about connecting with people on a real level. No matter how many years we stay in business, we will never let it impact our commitment to offering the highest level of customer service out there.
You will always have a friendly face on the other side of the phone lines. (AKA no voicemail.)
You will always get the best possible price (we guarantee the lowest).
You will always have a team who is here to do the hard work for you.
So if you want to stop searching for a pallet partner who will be with you for the long haul, our team here at One Way is ready to step up and help you.

A Euro pallet, also known as a EUR pallet, is a standardized wooden or plastic pallet commonly used in Europe for transporting goods. It is one of the most widely used pallet types globally and conforms to the specifications set by the European Pallet Association (EPAL). 32 x 48/EUR pallets are a common size of pallet used in the EU for transporting and storing goods. The size was originally used to optimize loading of rail cars in the 1960s. These pallets are designed to fit within the standard dimensions of shipping containers and trucks, making them convenient for transporting goods by sea, land, or air.
It’s worth noting that while Euro pallets are a standard in Europe, there are other types of pallets used around the world, each with its own set of specifications and standards. These include pallets like the North American pallet (48×40 inches) and others used in different regions.

When shipping plastic pallets, the right NMFC classification makes all the difference. When one a valued customers reached out with quesions about NMFC (National Motor Freight Classification) codes, we were happy to help.
In this blog post, we’ll delve into the importance of selecting the correct NMFC code for your shipments and shed light on the current status of these codes as of October 2023.
What help did our customer need?
Also: Ways to lower freight costs – saving money on Plastic Pallet shipments?
Specifically, they were puzzled by the absence of NMFC 150390 in their NMFCA account and were contemplating using NMFC 156600 for a plastic pallet order (not to spoil the surprise, but as it turns out, One Way Solutions recommends using a third NMFC 150400 to ship plastic pallets).
Selecting the right National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) code is vital for securing the best freight rating for your shipments. These codes are used by carriers and freight brokers to classify various commodities based on factors such as density, stowability, and handling requirements. An accurate NMFC code ensures that your shipment is appropriately categorized, which can significantly impact the shipping costs, transit time, and even the carrier’s willingness to handle your cargo.
NMFC code 150390, previously used for shipping plastic pallets, has undergone a significant change as of October 2023. NMFC code 150390 is no longer active (and therefore no longer applicable for shipping plastic pallets). This development underscores the importance of staying up-to-date with NMFC code changes, as using an outdated code can lead to costly errors and complications in your shipping process.
As of October 2023, plastic pallets now fall under NMFC 150400, which is classified as “Pallets, Platforms, Skids, or Shipping Racks.” This code is density-based, which means that it takes into account the weight and dimensions of the pallets, providing a more accurate reflection of their characteristics. Density-based NMFC codes are ideal because they help ensure fair and consistent pricing based on the actual space and weight your shipment occupies.
There are several advantages to choosing density-based NMFC codes like NMFC 150400 for your plastic pallet shipments:
While NMFC 150400 is now the recommended classification for plastic pallets, you might wonder about NMFC 156600. NMFC 156600 also covers plastic pallets, but we believe NMFC 150400 is the preferable choice for a few reasons:
In conclusion, selecting the correct NMFC code is essential for achieving the best freight rating and ensuring a smooth shipping process. As of October 2023, plastic pallets are no longer shipped under NMFC 150390; instead, NMFC 150400 is the recommended classification. Density-based NMFC codes like 150400 offer advantages such as accurate pricing, fair treatment, and potential cost savings. When it comes to shipping plastic pallets, choosing the right NMFC code is a vital step in optimizing your logistics and achieving cost-effective and efficient freight transportation. At One Way Solutions, we’re committed to helping our customers make informed shipping decisions, and we’re here to assist you in navigating these changes.
We hoped you enjoyed learning about choosing NMFC codes for plastic pallets.

We get this question all the time:
Can I store pallets outside?
It’s a great question – and we’ve got the answers to help decide what works best for your warehouse.
Storing empty pallets inside your warehouse, where space is precious, presents challenges.
Maybe you’re increasing inventory levels for your finished goods to get ready for your (hopefully) busy season?
Maybe you’re just running out of room in general?
If your storage equipment isn’t being used and is taking up limited space, you may be considering storing it outside, subjecting it to the elements.
Storing Pallets Outside
But is this the right thing to do?
Great Question! The answer is not as straightforward as you might think – but we can break down your decision points to help you find what works best for your situation.
First, let me share one of the best pieces of advice when you have no option but to store pallets outside – because sometimes you don’t have a choice!
Use a FIFO (First In First Out) material flow by moving pallets that have been outdoors for the longest period of time indoors and into your indoor production environment.
This way pallets that have been outdoors the longest get a break at the earliest opportunity.
There are many decision points involved and factor to consider when assessing if storing pallets outdoors is a good solution for your material handling operation.
We’re going to focus on two important factors:
* Pallet Material
* Security
A pallet’s material may make it more or less suited for outdoor storage. We’ll focus on wood pallets vs plastic pallets.
Storing wood pallets outside presents a unique set of challenges, especially in moist and rainy climates. Moisture can cause pallet boards to swell (displacing nails) and rot prematurely.
Rotten pallets can fail unexpectedly and may result in injuries, inventory damage, and operational inefficiency.
Rotting Wood Pallet
Using tarps to protect wood pallets from rain can help. However, care must be taken not to limit airflow that can otherwise trap moisture and prevent it from being carrier away from stored pallets.
If storing wood pallets outside is your only option, make sure to follow these simple tips:
* Elevate Wood Pallets from the ground to reduce moisture from wet surfaces
* Allow Proper Airflow by stacking pallets with sufficient space surrounding them
* Use a tarp to divert rain from contact with the wood pallets (but without limiting airflow)
Generally speaking, plastic pallets are able to withstand much more exposure to the elements than wood pallets.
Over time, UV Light in sun’s rays can weaken the plastic material, but this is a slow process that can be drastically reduced with tarps and other placement strategies that limit pallet exposure to direct sunlight.
So generally speaking, plastic pallets are particularly well-suited for outdoor storage.
But there’s a catch – make sure the pallets are not made of ACM material. Pallets made from ACM material will lose some integrity when wet.
Make sure to buy pallets made from HDPE, because plastic pallets made from high density polyethylene will not react to exposure to rain, water, and moisture in the air.
There is no known study on the impact of storing plastic pallets outside. To maximize the useful life of your pallets, try to limit exposure to extreme temperatures.
Another important factor to consider when storing pallets outdoors is security. Like any asset, pallets can walk away on their own. So if you have to store them outside, it is ideal to do so in a fenced or gated area.

Let’s talk about size, and how it matters when it comes to pallets.
Dimensions can be a major determining factor when choosing the right pallet for product shipments and storage, so today we are focusing on our most highest volume 40 x 48 plastic pallets.
This standard size is super popular, even beyond our borders and is used in all of North America to help with material handling needs.
That’s because the 40 x 48 plastic pallet is made to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) recognized specifications (1219 mm x 1016mm).
This means it can be shipped across countries without issue.
Here’s something you might not know. The Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) influences the consumer packaged goods industry around the globe. They suggest standard pallet dimensions to be 48″ x 40″.
Pallets of that size are commonly referred to as GMA pallets. More than 30% of pallets produced in the U.S. each year are GMA pallets. Who knew!
OK now, when it comes to the 40 x 48 plastic pallet, let’s talk numbers for a minute.
A standard pallet is 6 ½” tall. GMA pallets typically weigh 37 pounds (17 kg). The length of the pallet is measured by the stringer length, 48”.
Still with me?
A stringer is a board that runs the length of the pallet between the deck boards, holding the pallet up. The deck boards that are on the top and bottom of the stringers and run perpendicular to them measure 3 1⁄4 inches (83 mm) wide and are 5⁄16 inch (7.9 mm) thick each, and are 40 inches long.
Whew. And that’s how it all adds up for the common 40 x 48 plastic pallet.
The reason why it’s so common? Well, because it is very versatile. The applications are essentially endless for this size, both for product shipments and warehouse storage.
Yep, when it comes to racking pallets, the 40 x 48 is the perfect choice.

Size matters.
Selecting the correct pallet size is first and possibly most important decision point when selecting the proper plastic pallet for your warehouse or storage project.
Let’s dig into when you would best be served by selecting the 43 x 43 pallet size.
The ISO (International Organization for Standardization) officially recognizes sanctions six different pallet sizes in their ISO Standard 6780:2003 specification.
Also known as the 1100mm x 1100mm size, the 43″ x 43″ pallet is more commonly used in Asia, and is designed for use in ISO shipping containers, optimizing 86% of container floor space with only 14% waste.
Sea Containers are narrower than the width of a standard semi truck, so a specialized pallet with, like the 43 x 43 is needed to maximize capacity.
The Air Freight industry, especially freight bound to and from Asia, frequently uses the 43 x 43 pallet size, often referred to as Export Pallets in the 1100mm x 1100mm size.
Because bulk granular chemicals are frequently 42 x 42″ bulk bags, the 43″ x 43″ pallet size is perfectly suited for their transportation.
43 x 43 Pallets are available in both open decks (solid tops) and open decks (perforated tops).
43 x 43 Pallets are available with 9 Feet, 3 Runners, Or 6 Runner pallet bases.

As you know by now, plastic pallets come in all shapes and sizes. Choosing one to fit your needs can be a real challenge. That’s why the Pallet Experts here at One Way Solutions are her to help.
Our popular 48 x 48 plastic pallet is a great option when you want a larger stackable base for your product. It provides more square unit inches for larger shipments than our smaller pallet sizes.
48 x 48 Pallets make excellent drum pallets. A 55 gallon drum, roughly 23″ in diameter, exceeds the standard 40″ x 48″ & 45″ x 48″ plastic pallet footprints when 4 drums (arranged in a 2 x 2 grid) are palletized.
The 46″ width of two drums hangs off the edge of a 45″ side of the pallet, creating an unstable and potentially unsafe situation.
48 x 48 sized pallets are also used for shipping 5 gallon drums.
We recommend doing the math on your current truckload capacity if the larger 48 x 48 plastic pallet size could make sense for future shipments.
The 48 x 48 pallet size is also popular for modular Point Of Purchase Displays.
The most common and affordable 48 x 48 plastic pallets are either our nestable or stackable plastic pallets with a solid deck.
This brand new option is stackable, made in the USA, and has 3-runners to add extra stability for larger loads.

When you are looking for more robust options with greater weight capacity, then consider our various rackable and stackable 48 x 48 plastic pallets.
Here are few various features to consider:
Legs give the pallet extra stability for many applications.

Are you considering recycling your old plastic pallets? You should, and here’s why.
As your stockpile of old pallets grows, it also grows in value. Once you have enough plastic pallets that fit a full truckload, it’s time to consider taking advantage of its scrap value. (We will explain more below.)
Remember, because many higher quality plastic pallets can be processed for recycling; and sometimes they can even be recycled for good $ to help your bottom line.
So why not gain a little knowledge in this area so you can take advantage of the opportunity?
As Benjamin Franklin said it, “An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.”
Plastic Pallet Recycling – An Investment In Knowledge
We’ve got you on this one. Below we will walk you through the process of recycling plastic pallets and include the option to turn retired plastic pallets into savings.
There are options when for recycling your plastic pallets. If you want to recycle PE pallets, contact your local recycle stream and make arrangements.
It’s not as hard as it sounds and they will walk you through their process for providing the pallets and take the stress off of you figuring out what to do with them.
Better yet, a local molder who produces regrind is a great option to get rid of your old pallet pile. (Don’t worry, a simple Google search can help you find one.)
Plastic Pallet Recycling – Search For Local Molders
The cool thing about the regrind process is that it makes the most of the plastic pallet resin. The resulting excess material and rejected parts can be reclaimed and repurposed as regrind (which is either mixed with new resin, or used on its own).
If you really want to get into the dirty details, there is a whole process when the plastic is exposed to thermal and mechanical stress, it becomes weak and brittle. This degradation is called “heat history.”
Both the heat history of processing, and the grinding process itself may degrade physical, chemical and flow properties of the thermoplastic resin, and anything made from the regrind. (Source: Unilever)
This is why we leave it to the experts to decide.
No, they won’t. Because reground materials are intended for use in the manufacturing of new products, molders will not accept inferior plastics, or plastics whose condition will make it unprofitable to use in regrind.
For instance, used pallets may become imbedded with foreign objects during over their useful lifetime. objects like rocks or metal fragments make it difficult for molders to reuse.
In some cases, reground material may have to be floated in water to separate the useful materials from rocks and metal. That takes time and handling – and costs money.
Speaking of experts and the process of offloading old pallets for profits, there’s one more option.
If we are talking about a lot of pallets (a minimum of one truckload), they are pretty easy to SELL for regrind. This is where it gets good….
We are happy to mention that One Way has its own grinding operation. That’s right, we are here to help you not only help you recycle your old plastic pallets, but actually make money from it.
Because shipping is expensive, this is why you want to make sure you can ship them back in full truckload quantities.
Plastic Pallet Recycling – It Can Help Save Money
Here’s what it looks like.
We will buy your truckload of plastic pallets back at scrap value minus then freight costs, and then give you a material credit.
It’s a no brainer.
This is the best option if you want to truly make use of your old stock pile of pallets and have it help your bottom line. Agreed?
