45x45 Plastic Pallet – Nestable Drum Pallet, 2,000 lb
45x45 Plastic Pallet – Nestable Drum Pallet, 2,000 lb is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
45x45 Nestable Plastic Pallet – Square Footprint, Low Profile
The square pallet that four drums actually fit on. A 55-gallon drum is about 23 inches across, so four of them need a 45-inch square – put them on a 48x40 and the outer two hang over the edge. This pallet is a true 45 by 45 with a low 3.75-inch profile, weighs 21 lb, and nests 70 to a stack. Molded in the USA from 100% recycled plastic.
Key Features:
- True 45″ square – four 55-gallon drums sit fully inside the footprint
- 2,000 lb dynamic capacity – forklift and pallet jack rated
- 8,000 lb static capacity – four full drums weigh roughly 1,800 lb
- Low 3.75″ profile – more usable height inside a container or trailer
- Nestable – 70 per stack, 1,820 per 53′ trailer
- Four-way entry – forks from any side
- 21 lb – light enough to reposition by hand
- ISPM-15 exempt – ships internationally with no treatment
- 100% recycled plastic, made in the USA
- Open deck – drains and washes out, no absorbed spills

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use a 45x45 pallet instead of a standard 48x40?
Load shape. A 48x40 is rectangular, so a square load either overhangs on two sides or wastes deck on the others. Four 55-gallon drums are the classic case: each is roughly 23 inches in diameter, so a two-by-two arrangement needs about 46 inches square. On a 48x40 the drums hang past the 40-inch edge, which risks damage in racking and gets shipments refused. A 45-inch square keeps everything inside the footprint.
How many drums fit on a 45x45 pallet?
Four 55-gallon steel or poly drums in a two-by-two arrangement. Four full drums of water weigh roughly 1,800 lb, which sits comfortably inside the 2,000 lb dynamic rating. If you are handling something heavier than water, check the filled weight against that rating before you load.
What does the low 3.75-inch profile get me?
Usable height. In a shipping container or a trailer you are working against a fixed ceiling, so every inch the pallet takes is an inch the load cannot use. At 3.75 inches this pallet is roughly two inches lower than a typical 6-inch pallet, which on a tall load can be the difference between fitting another layer and not.
Can a 45x45 nestable pallet be racked?
No. This is a nestable pallet with no rack rating – it is built for floor stacking and transit. Racking spans the pallet between two beams with nothing underneath, which loads it in a completely different way than a solid floor and the 8,000 lb static figure does not carry over. For racking, use a rackable pallet with a published rack rating, or put wire mesh decking in the bay.
Is it strong enough for repeated use?
For light and medium duty cycles, yes – plastic does not splinter, absorb moisture, or shed nails, and a pallet in closed-loop service usually runs many years. This is a nestable pallet though, so it is not built for the abuse a reinforced structural pallet takes. If it is going to be loaded to capacity and handled hard every day, step up to a rackable model.
Do you offer volume pricing?
Yes. Price improves with quantity and freight per pallet falls sharply as the order grows, because these nest 70 to a single pallet position. Send us the quantity and delivery ZIP and we will quote it delivered.
