Pallets in Clearfield, home of the Freeport Center

Clearfield is a Davis County city whose southwest corner is a 680-acre industrial campus, the Freeport Center. Manufacturers, trailer builders and distributors there run on trucks and rail, and a pallet request from the city should say which of the three ZIPs it is.

Rail came first

The Utah Central Railroad crossed this land in 1869, before Clearfield had settlers. I-15 now runs along its eastern edge with a frontage road beside it, and the FrontRunner stop opened in 2008. Hill Air Force Base follows the city's eastern border and northeast corner. The Freeport Center is about 20 miles from Salt Lake City International Airport, the city's own description says.

Named employers, for context only

The city lists Hill AFB, Lifetime Products, Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company, Alliant Techsystems, Clearfield Job Corps, Futura Industries and Smith Sport Optics among its major employers. Together they show a mix of consumer goods, trailer manufacturing, aerospace composites and food. Each of those wants a different pallet.

Pallets by the building

A trailer manufacturer needs sturdy wooden skids for heavy parts, a consumer-products factory wants consistent stock it can restack, and a food maker wants dry, clean boards. The Freeport Center goes deeper on the campus itself, and the manufacturing covers the buyer's side.

A pile in Legend Hills, where offices and shops share loading areas, looks like a retail clear-out: a modest count, mixed sizes, usually Grade B or worse.

What to write from Clearfield

Clearfield's industrial lots sit in rows near the former naval supply depot and the base. Sheds are large, trucks are regular, and many docks have the same few pallet sizes. State the footprint, then the grade, then the pile's condition. A request that reads like an inventory line is easy to answer.

  • Footprint: 48 x 40 for most, 48 x 45 for a few.
  • Grade: sorted Grade A or B, or mixed.
  • Condition: dry, indoor, snow-covered.
