Purpose-Built Platforms Tailored for Your Products
Standard 48 × 40s can’t solve every load-out problem. That’s why Troymill runs a dedicated custom-pallet line: to match exact dimensions, weight limits, and handling quirks so your freight moves safely from plant floor to final destination.
On our 50-acre Ohio campus, we mill stringers and deck boards in-house, drop every spec into Pallet Design System (PDS) software, and validate load ratings before the first nail sets. Whether you need an extra-wide deck for a CNC machine or a heavy-duty block pallet that slides through stretch wrap, the build is engineered first, then produced quickly.
From Drawing to Dock in Four Simple Steps
- Consult & Capture Specs – Send load size, weight, racking constraints, and shipping lanes.
- PDS Modeling – We simulate bending, shear, and forklift impacts to confirm safe working loads.
- Prototype & Approval – ample pallets ship for trial fits and testing, adjustments made if needed.
- Full Production & Delivery – High-speed Viking nailers or hand-build tables take the design live; our sky-blue trailers roll it straight to your dock.

Absolutely. Basic length, width, height, and weight provide us with enough information to model an initial design and determine a price.
Our heat-treat kilns log time and core temperature for each batch; digital IPPC certificates accompany the BOL.
We nest, stack, or flat-pack designs wherever possible to maximize trailer utilization and cut freight costs.
