Engineered for Unique Product Designs
Every supply chain has cargo that refuses to ride on a standard 48 × 40 pallet. Troymill’s Custom Wood Solutions team bridges that gap, designing and building one-of-a-kind pallets, crates, dunnage, and cut-stock that keep odd footprints, heavy point-loads, and fragile profiles moving safely. All work happens on our 50-acre Ohio campus, where raw logs become purpose-built platforms ready for the road, rail, or sea.

Solution Type | Typical Specs & Options | Common Uses |
Custom Pallets & Skids | Up to 48 ft L × 100 in W, stringer or block, SYP/SPF or hardwood, chamfers, banding grooves | Oversized machinery, automotive drivetrains, press dies |
Tailored Wood Crates | Knock-down or fully assembled; foam, bracing, ramped entries | Windshields, EV battery packs, aerospace tooling |
Engineered Dunnage & Cribbing | 4 × 4 – 12 × 12 hardwood blocks, pyramid wedges, coil saddles | Flatbed coil loads, rig-crib towers, trailers, container bracing |
Cut-to-Size Lumber & Panels | Straight-line rip, OSB/plyform, Masonite liners | Pallet components, crate liners, banding-groove lumber |
Automotive Pallet Programs | Industry-standard 48 × 45 pallets or any OEM-specified footprint: returnable or expendable | Transmissions, tires, interior trim kits |
How We Engineer Every Custom Build
- Specification Capture
- Load dimensions, weight, forklift & conveyor clearances, regulatory needs (ISPM 15, OEM standards).
- Pallet Design System (PDS) Modeling
- Software simulates bending, shear, and deflection, giving you certified load ratings before the first board is cut.
- Prototype & Validation
- One sample ships for fit-up; adjustments are made in hours, not weeks.
- High-Speed Production
- Viking nail lines for volume runs; hand-build stations for complex one-offs and oversized pallets.
- Quality & Compliance
- Kiln heat-treat to ISPM 15, dimensional checks to ± ⅛″, digital certificates supplied with BOL.
Industry Examples
Automotive & Mobility
- Custom pallets for transmissions and brake assemblies
- Custom crates with removable sides for EV battery modules
Heavy Equipment & Industrial Machinery
- 40-foot press skids with double-thick stringers

Sustainability Built-In
- Recycled & Remanufactured Options — Blend reclaimed deck boards and pallet lumber with new stock to hit budget and ESG goals.
- Waste-to-Energy Loop — Off-cuts become boiler fuel; sawdust converts to bedding, diverting 98 % of by-product from landfill.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most prototypes ship in 48 hours once we have dimensions and weight data. Standard production runs of custom or oversized pallets typically leave our facility in 5–7 business days.
Yes. Pallets, crates, or hardwood dunnage can all run through our on-site kilns for IPPC stamping. Digital certificates are emailed with your BOL for hassle-free export.
Absolutely. We blend recycled deck boards or pallet stringers with new lumber when specs and load ratings allow, lowering cost and boosting sustainability metrics.
We design custom skids to nest or flat-pack whenever possible, maximizing trailer space. Our logistics team can estimate outbound freight before you approve the final design.
