New York State's western and central regions are natural extensions of our Great Lakes service area. With Buffalo just 190 miles from Cleveland via the I-90 Thruway, we provide fast, reliable pallet service to the Empire State's diverse industrial base. Upstate New York has a manufacturing heritage that stretches back to the Erie Canal era, and today's economy — while vastly different from the days of flour mills and ironworks — still depends on the efficient movement of goods on pallets. From Buffalo's revitalized Northland Corridor to Albany's nanotechnology hub, New York businesses need quality pallets at competitive prices.

Upstate New York has a strong manufacturing tradition combined with growing logistics and e-commerce operations. The I-90 Thruway corridor from Buffalo through Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, and Albany is lined with manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, and food processing operations that consume millions of pallets annually. Rochester alone, once the home of Kodak and Xerox, has reinvented itself as a center for optics, imaging, food production, and advanced manufacturing — all industries that ship their products on pallets.

New York's agricultural sector is another major driver of pallet demand, particularly in the Finger Lakes and Hudson Valley regions. The state is one of the nation's top producers of dairy products, apples, grapes, onions, and maple syrup, and the food processing operations that handle these products need food-grade pallets in large quantities. We provide ISPM-15 heat-treated, food-safe pallets that meet the requirements of New York's food processors, along with standard pallets for the agricultural equipment and supply operations that support the farming economy.

Our New York service focuses primarily on the I-90 Thruway corridor from Buffalo through Rochester, Syracuse, and Albany, with extended coverage along the I-81 corridor from Syracuse to Binghamton and the Southern Tier along I-86 and Route 17. For businesses in the New York City metro area, we offer full truckload deliveries on a scheduled basis with competitive freight rates that make Cleveland Pallet a viable alternative to expensive metro-area suppliers.

New York State's aggressive environmental goals, including its Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, mean that more Empire State businesses are looking for sustainable supply chain solutions. Our pallet recycling and repair services align perfectly with these goals, helping New York companies reduce their wood waste, lower their carbon footprint, and demonstrate environmental responsibility to customers and regulators alike. Every pallet we recycle is one less pallet in a New York landfill and one less demand on the state's forest resources.

Whether you are shipping electronics from Syracuse, dairy products from the Finger Lakes, wine from the Hudson Valley, or aerospace components from Long Island, Cleveland Pallet has the right pallet solution at the right price.

Areas We Serve in New York

Buffalo, NY

Western New York's largest city and industrial hub, just 190 miles from Cleveland via the I-90 Thruway. Buffalo businesses enjoy next-day delivery as standard, making us one of the fastest pallet suppliers in the western NY market. We serve the entire Buffalo-Niagara metro area, including the revitalized Northland industrial corridor, the I-90 warehouse district in Cheektowaga, the Tonawanda manufacturing zone, and the growing logistics operations near the Buffalo Niagara International Airport. Buffalo's manufacturing revival has brought new demand for quality used pallets, and we are proud to support the region's economic renaissance.

Rochester, NY

The Finger Lakes region's economic anchor and a center of optics, imaging, food production, and advanced manufacturing. Rochester's economy has successfully transitioned from its Kodak-Xerox era to a diversified base that includes Wegmans Food Markets headquarters, dozens of optics and photonics companies, and a growing craft food and beverage sector. We maintain regular Thruway route service to Rochester and Monroe County, delivering to the Henrietta industrial corridor, the High Falls manufacturing district, and the commercial zones along I-490 and Route 104.

Syracuse, NY

Central New York's distribution and logistics hub, strategically located at the intersection of I-90 and I-81. Syracuse has long been a natural crossroads for commerce in New York State, and today the metro area hosts major distribution operations for national retailers and regional companies. We serve the Syracuse area including the massive warehousing complexes along I-90 in DeWitt and East Syracuse, the manufacturing operations in the Carrier corridor, and the emerging logistics parks near Hancock International Airport.

Albany, NY

New York's state capital and the gateway to the Hudson Valley technology corridor. Albany has reinvented itself as a nanotechnology and semiconductor hub, with the SUNY Polytechnic Institute and GlobalFoundries chip fabrication facility driving a new wave of high-tech manufacturing. We serve Albany and the Capital Region with scheduled deliveries, providing clean pallets for the semiconductor industry's contamination-sensitive shipping needs, as well as standard pallets for the region's government, healthcare, and traditional manufacturing operations.

New York City, NY

The nation's largest city and one of the world's great commercial centers. We offer full truckload deliveries to the NYC metro area for large orders, serving the region's massive retail, food, logistics, and manufacturing demand. While our primary strength is in upstate New York, our competitive full-truckload rates make us an attractive option for NYC-area businesses buying in bulk. We deliver to the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and New Jersey distribution zones that serve the New York City market.

Niagara Falls, NY

A border city with significant international trade connections and a diverse industrial base beyond its famous tourism economy. Niagara Falls and the surrounding Niagara County host chemical manufacturing, food processing, aerospace components, and cross-border logistics operations. We serve the Niagara region's international trade needs with ISPM-15 heat-treated pallets certified for export to Canada and beyond, as well as standard pallets for the domestic manufacturing and tourism supply chain operations.

Utica, NY

Central New York's manufacturing hub in the Mohawk Valley, located along the I-90 Thruway between Syracuse and Albany. Utica and Oneida County have a strong manufacturing tradition in aerospace components, copper and brass products, electronics, and food processing (including the famous Utica greens and tomato pie that reflect the region's Italian heritage). We serve Utica on our regular Thruway delivery routes, providing quality used pallets to the Mohawk Valley's diverse manufacturing base.

Binghamton, NY

The hub of New York's Southern Tier and a key technology and manufacturing center. Binghamton was the birthplace of IBM and today hosts BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin, and other defense and technology companies along with healthcare and university operations. We serve Binghamton and Broome County through our I-81 corridor routes from Syracuse, delivering pallets to the defense manufacturing operations along the Susquehanna River, the tech parks near Binghamton University, and the commercial and industrial districts throughout the Triple Cities area.

Ithaca, NY

Home to Cornell University and Ithaca College, and a center of education, research, and the Finger Lakes wine and food industry. The Ithaca area's economy extends beyond academia to include biotech research, food production, and the craft beverage industry that has made the Finger Lakes one of America's premier wine regions. We serve Ithaca and Tompkins County with food-grade and heat-treated pallets for the wine and food industry, as well as clean pallets for the university research and shipping operations.

Elmira, NY

Southern Tier manufacturing and aviation heritage city, located along the Route 17 / I-86 corridor. Elmira and Chemung County have a diverse manufacturing base that includes glass production, automotive components, and aerospace manufacturing, with Elmira's soaring heritage connecting to the nearby Harris Hill National Soaring Museum. We serve Elmira on our Southern Tier delivery routes, providing quality used pallets to the corridor's manufacturing and distribution operations.

Schenectady, NY

Part of New York's Capital Region and historically the home of General Electric's main operations. Today, Schenectady's economy includes advanced manufacturing, energy technology, and a growing casino and entertainment sector. GE's Global Research Center still operates in nearby Niskayuna, and the region's energy technology expertise has attracted other manufacturers. We serve Schenectady as part of our Capital Region delivery zone, providing pallets for the industrial and commercial operations throughout Schenectady County.

Jamestown, NY

Southwestern New York's manufacturing center, located near the Pennsylvania border along I-86. Jamestown has a long furniture manufacturing tradition (the Jamestown Furniture Industry once rivaled Grand Rapids) and today maintains active manufacturing in furniture, metal fabrication, and specialty products. Our proximity via I-90 and Route 17 means we can reach Jamestown faster than many New York-based suppliers, providing affordable used pallets to this cost-conscious manufacturing community.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions — New York

How quickly can you deliver to Buffalo and western New York?

Buffalo is just 190 miles from Cleveland via the I-90 Thruway. Standard deliveries arrive next business day. We run dedicated trucks along the I-90 corridor every business day, making Buffalo and the Niagara region our fastest New York market. Rush deliveries can often be arranged for same-day or early-next-morning arrival for urgent orders placed before noon.

Do you serve the New York City metro area?

Yes. While our primary strength is in upstate New York, we offer full truckload deliveries to the NYC metro area for orders of 400+ pallets. Transit time is typically 2-3 business days. Many NYC-area businesses find our pricing significantly lower than metro-area suppliers, even with freight costs included. We deliver to distribution zones in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and northern New Jersey.

Can you provide export-certified pallets for cross-border shipping to Canada?

Absolutely. We maintain a large inventory of ISPM-15 heat-treated pallets that are certified for international shipping, including cross-border trade with Canada at Niagara Falls, the Thousand Islands, and other border crossings. Each pallet is properly stamped with the ISPM-15 certification mark. We serve numerous New York businesses that export goods to Canada regularly.

What pallets do you offer for the Finger Lakes wine and food industry?

We stock ISPM-15 heat-treated and food-grade pallets that meet FSMA and SQF standards for food and beverage contact. These are ideal for Finger Lakes wineries, cideries, dairy processors, and specialty food producers. Our food-grade pallets are clean, free of contamination, and properly certified for use in food-handling environments. We provide seasonal surge capacity during harvest and crush season.

Are your prices lower than New York-based pallet suppliers?

Yes, typically by 20-40%. New York State has some of the highest business operating costs in the nation — labor, real estate, insurance, taxes, and regulatory compliance all push local pallet prices higher. Our Ohio-based operations have significantly lower overhead, and we pass those savings to our New York customers. Even with Thruway tolls and fuel costs factored in, our total delivered price is usually lower.

Do you offer pallet recycling services for New York businesses?

Yes. We provide pallet recycling pickup for loads of 75+ pallets across upstate New York. Our trucks collect spent pallets on their return runs from NY deliveries, making the service efficient and cost-effective. We also buy surplus pallets in good condition from New York manufacturers and distributors, providing fair market value for usable inventory. Recycling certificates are available for environmental compliance documentation.

Can you supply clean-room grade pallets for the Albany semiconductor industry?

Yes. For the nanotechnology and semiconductor manufacturing operations in the Albany Capital Region, we provide specially inspected, clean pallets that meet the contamination-sensitive requirements of high-tech manufacturing environments. These pallets are hand-selected, cleaned, and wrapped to prevent contamination during transit. We supply several technology operations in the Albany area with these specialty pallets.

What coverage do you have along the Southern Tier?

We serve the Southern Tier along I-86 and Route 17, covering Jamestown, Olean, Elmira, Corning, and Binghamton. These communities are served on our regular Southern Tier delivery routes, typically with 2-3 day transit times. Binghamton receives additional service through our I-81 corridor routes from Syracuse. Jamestown, being close to the Pennsylvania border, benefits from our proximity and often receives faster service than from Albany or NYC-based suppliers.
