Shipping appliances isn’t like moving general consumer goods. Refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers, and HVAC-type equipment are bulky, heavy, and contain internal components that need stable support in transit.
That’s why manufacturers and distributors partner with Express Packing for custom appliance pallets engineered for stability, safety, and efficiency.
Custom Pallets Built for Appliances
Express Packing builds appliance shipping bases for furnaces, fan coils, refrigerators, ovens, ranges, and dishwashers, manufactured to tight tolerances and assembled with metal fixtures to meet prescribed specifications.
Examples we support include:
- Residential refrigerators
- Commercial ovens and ranges
- Dishwashers and laundry-adjacent appliances
- HVAC-type units (e.g., furnaces, fan coils)
Engineering priorities:
- Precision assembly with metal fixtures to help prevent load shifting.
- Built for secure strapping and handling (per shipment needs)
- Export-ready options with ISPM 15 heat-treated wood and official stamping
Note: Sizes and weights vary by model; we design to your product’s specifications.

Why Quality Appliance Pallets Matter
A pallet may look simple, but for appliances its design directly affects product safety and logistics costs. Poor choices can lead to tipping, cosmetic damage, or handling issues.
For exporters, Express Packing offers ISPM 15-certified solutions to help avoid customs delays and rejections.
Key reasons to prioritize quality:
- Supply-chain hazards: shock, vibration, compression, moisture, temperature swings
- Product vulnerability: compressors, motors, and electronics need controlled support
- Export requirements: heat-treatment and proper stamping for international shipments.
