Pallets & Skids

ODC produces customized pallets and specialty skids for customers who require a non-standard shipping option to protect their goods. We also offer custom wooden crating.

Resaw Services

With the ability to process material dimensions of 16 in. by 16 in. square and up to 20 ft. lengths, we are proud to offer custom cut shop services through the use of our lumber resaw.

Working with either green or dry wood, we can split lumber into 1x4s and 1x6s, making them the perfect size for pallets and dunnage. We cut truckload quantities of lumber to length with a quick turnaround!
