Distributors, for example may have a smaller minimum order like a few cases or a $200 minimum. Large manufacturers, on the other hand, will have a larger minimum order. This “minimum order” information is good to know as you are doing your supplier analysis; it will tell you how much capitol you’ll be required to invest in inventory at one time and help you weigh out if it’s too much inventory for you to hold and use over time. Like most manufactures, Centra Foods minimum order is one pallet.   ## What Is A Pallet?  Which poses the next question: what exactly is a pallet? A pallet is a wooden portable large platform that the packaging is stacked on. The primary pallets we use can range in size based on the packaging you are ordering. Let’s begin to break down the pallet sizes you might receive.   ## Common Pallet Sizes  ### 55 Gallon Drums Drums (Steel and Plastic) Option 1 for Pallet Size: 44” x 44” Option 2 for Pallet Size: 48” x 40” Final Pallet Dimensions (Including Drums): 46” x 46” x 41” Pallet Material: Wood Total Pallet Weight: 1,850 Lbs. ### Caged Plastic 275 Gallon Tote Tote (with built-in pallet): 48” x 40” x 44” Pallet Material: Aluminum (connected to built-in frame) Total Pallet Weight: 2,250 Lbs. ### 275 Gallon Cardboard Tote (Bag In A Box) Pallet Size: 40” x 48” pallet Final Pallet Dimensions (with tote): 48” x 41” x 45” Pallet Material: Wood Total Pallet Weight: 2,250 Lbs. ### 35 Lb.

Here is the amount of oil you get for each single full pallet. Four 55 Gallon Drums: 1,676 Lbs of oil One 275 Gallon Tote: 2,093 Lbs. of oil Sixty 35 Lb.
