Contact A.H.Meyer at 1-800-841-7952. They will send you plans for the
industry standard pallet. They also sell the clips. You will add value to
your operation by using the industry size and standard pallets. Many a
sideliner has sold his operation to a commercial beekeeper only to end up
with a stack of homemade odd size pallets, Telescoping covers and homemade
bottom boards as the semi rolled out of sight.. On the other side of the
coin the two largest beekeepers in the U.S. don't use the industry standard
pallet but a design of their own. Hope I have helped.
