48x40 GMA pallets
48x40 GMA pallets in metro Atlanta.
The 48x40 pallet — the GMA footprint that fits most racking, forklifts, and trailers — is what we keep in stock in Grade A and Grade B, new or recycled.
What to know
- The 48x40 (48" long x 40" wide) is the GMA standard — North America’s most common pallet footprint.
- Stocked in Grade A (fully repaired, cleaner) and Grade B (recycled workhorse); new builds available.
- Standard stringer build with two-way fork entry; notched for partial four-way access on request.
- A standard 48x40 typically carries around 2,500 lb in racking and more when floor-stacked — send your load and we’ll confirm the right grade.
- Minimum order is 50 pallets, one-time or recurring.
