New Pallets for Cold Storage and Fresh Produce
Moisture aware pallets for coolers, freezers and packing sheds, built for the damp conditions that wear out ordinary lumber.
Serving Vancouver, Surrey, Kelowna and Calgary since 1996.
Cold rooms are hard on wood
Condensation, washdowns and long stays at low temperatures push moisture into lumber. Wet pallets can grow mould, stain cartons and wear out faster, and that’s a real problem when you’re moving fruit, vegetables or chilled product.
In the Okanagan, orchards and packers handle huge volumes of fruit during harvest. Across the Fraser Valley and Alberta, growers and distributors need pallets that keep up with cooling and shipping schedules. We build new pallets with these conditions in mind, using kiln dried lumber where it counts.
At a glance
- Kiln dried lumber for lower moisture
- Open deck patterns that allow airflow
- Reinforced builds for stacked produce
- Seasonal volume planning for harvest
What cold storage does to a pallet
Mould and rot
Dry lumber resists the growth that thrives on damp, cold wood.
Poor airflow
Open decks and proper spacing help cold air circulate around your product.
Heavy harvest loads
Boxes of fruit and bins of produce add up fast, so we build for the real weight.
Seasonal spikes
Harvest doesn’t wait. We plan ahead so you have pallets when the fruit is ready.
How we plan cold storage pallet orders
Tell us your product and storage
Fruit, vegetables, dairy and frozen goods all behave differently, so we ask how long pallets stay cold.
Choose the right build
We pick lumber type, deck pattern and strength to suit your cartons or bins.
Build ahead of harvest
For seasonal customers we build early so pallets are waiting before the first picks.
Deliver to your packhouse
Pallets go to your cooler, packhouse or warehouse in the Okanagan, Fraser Valley or Calgary.

Yes, wood handles cold well, and kiln dried lumber helps limit moisture. Plan on replacing pallets that stay wet for long stretches.
We build pallets for packhouses and can plan volume around your harvest calendar. Call early in the season so we can schedule production.
Start with dry, kiln dried lumber, keep pallets off wet floors and let them air out when you can. We’re happy to talk through storage habits that help.
