Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a standard gaylord box?
The standard gaylord is 48" x 40" x 36", sized to sit on a GMA pallet. Full-height boxes run 48" x 40" x 48", half-height 48" x 40" x 24", and square boxes 48" x 48" x 36".
How much weight can a gaylord box hold?
It depends on wall count and board grade: 2-wall roughly 500 to 1,800 lbs, 3-wall 1,200 to 3,000 lbs, 4-wall 2,000 lbs and up, and 5-wall 2,500 lbs and up; the manufacturer's certificate for the specific box is the controlling number. The wall count appears in a listing's title or specifications when the seller states it; if it is missing, ask before assuming a rating above 2-wall.
What does box condition mean on a used gaylord?
New boxes have never been used. Like-new boxes were used once and have no tears, crushing, or water marks. Used boxes show wear but are structurally sound; compression and moisture lower capacity, so rate a used box by the manufacturer's certificate for that box, not by the wall-count maximum. Fair boxes have significant wear and are best for light, dry, one-way use under 500 lbs.
How many gaylord boxes fit in a truckload?
Knocked-down flat, a 53-foot dry van carries 200 to 400 or more depending on wall count. Assembled on pallets it carries 20 to 22, one per floor position, because a filled box bulges past its pallet and needs clearance. Buy flat whenever you can assemble on site; the freight per box is roughly ten times lower.
Are used gaylord boxes safe for food contact?
Not on their own. Corrugated is not a food-contact surface, so buyers holding food, feed, or pharmaceutical product line a clean Grade A box with food-grade history with a food-grade poly liner sized to the box, 48" x 40" x 36" for a standard gaylord. A box that held a non-food load, or that sheds fiber or residue, is excluded even with a new liner. Listings state prior contents when known.
