Description
Also known as the GMA pallet, this 40 x 48 in (≈ 1016 x 1219 mm) 4-way wooden pallet format is the North American standard recommended historically by the Grocery Manufacturers Association (now the Consumer Brands Association). It’s the go-to for FMCG, beverage, produce, and automotive lines – easy to handle, cube-efficient, and widely compatible with racking, conveyors, and trailers. From Singapore, we supply GMA-spec wooden pallets for domestic use or ISPM-15 export.
