Heavy-Duty 10 Frame 4-Way Migratory Bee Pallet Built for beekeepers who expect their equipment to work hard, this heavy-duty 4-way migratory pallet holds four 10 frame Langstroth bee hives and is designed for repeated handling in commercial and larger beekeeping operations. Lappe's migratory pallets are built with durable materials and screwed construction to stand up to loaded hives, outdoor exposure and repeated movement with a forklift or skid loader. Whether you manage a growing bee yard or a commercial operation, these pallets provide a sturdy platform for keeping four colonies together and making hive movement more efficient.

The treated structural lumber is used underneath the pallet where durability and resistance to long-term ground exposure are important. Made for Commercial and Serious Beekeeping Operations Migratory pallets are commonly used to keep multiple colonies together so groups of hives can be moved efficiently with powered equipment. The heavy-duty construction of this pallet makes it especially well suited for: Commercial apiaries Migratory beekeeping operations Larger bee yards Pollination operations Beekeepers regularly moving colonies Beekeepers looking for a long-lasting alternative to lighter-duty hive pallets Holds Four 10 Frame Bee Hives One pallet supports four standard 10 frame bee hives. The installed W-style pallet clips help position the hives on the pallet while allowing the entire four-hive group to be handled as a unit. Why Choose a Heavy-Duty Migratory Pallet? Bee hives become extremely heavy when colonies are strong and honey supers are full. Equipment used underneath those colonies needs to tolerate both the weight of the hives and repeated handling. Lappe's migratory pallets are built with substantial lumber, exterior-grade plywood and screwed construction rather than being designed as a lightweight disposable pallet. They are intended to be working equipment that can be used season after season. Freight Shipping Information This product does not qualify for free shipping.
