Iron City Stacks: Pittsburgh's Pallet Legacy
Pittsburgh, the Burgh of Three Rivers, has a history intertwined with industry and innovation. While its factories are legendary, a lesser-known piece of its past is the rise of the pallet. These simple, sturdy platforms became an essential part of Pittsburgh's economic landscape.
The story of Pittsburgh's pallets begins in the early late 1800s century with the growth of its railroad networks. As factories cranked out goods at an unprecedented rate, there was a need to ship them efficiently. Pallets offered a solution to this problem, allowing for easy stacking of materials onto trucks and trains.
Over time, pallets became ubiquitous in Pittsburgh. From the factories along the Monongahela River to the sprawling manufacturing parks on the outskirts of the city, pallets were everywhere.
They played a vital function in the smooth operation of Pittsburgh's market.
Today, the legacy of Pittsburgh's pallets lives on in several ways. The city is home to many companies that still manufacture pallets for a wide range of purposes. Furthermore, the history of the pallet can be seen in the design of some of Pittsburgh's most famous landmarks.
