An assessment of pallet lumber supply and manufacturing in Colorado

Objectives of this research were to determine the size and scope of the existing pallet industry in Colorado, where it gets its current supply of wood, and the possibilities for increasing the use of small-diameter wood from Colorado forests to manufacture pallets. It is found that Colorado pallet m...

description Objectives of this research were to determine the size and scope of the existing pallet industry in Colorado, where it gets its current supply of wood, and the possibilities for increasing the use of small-diameter wood from Colorado forests to manufacture pallets. It is found that Colorado pallet manufacturers currently use over 50 million board feet of low quality lumber to build approximately 2.5 million new pallets annually. It is estimated that only 6% to 7% of the wood used to build new pallets in Colorado comes from forests within the state. Reduction of forest density would improve forest health and public safety concerns. To make it economically feasible to use small-diameter wood, some existing costs have to be minimized or eliminated.
