Lincoln County at the dock

Lincoln County's listed employers include American Woodmark, Blum, Bosch, Cataler, LeeBoy and Timken. Its clusters are advanced manufacturing, plastics and chemicals, non-woven textiles, automotive and transportation equipment, and food and beverage.

Plastics and chemicals bring resin in octabins, non-woven textiles bring rolls that want a full flap bottom, and transportation equipment brings parts.

What arrives in gaylords in Lincoln County

Lincoln County plants run plastics and chemicals, non-woven textiles and parts for vehicles. Plastics lines mean octabins and liners, non-woven lines mean roll boxes, and parts lines mean full flap bottoms. If your empties are lined, say whether the liner stays or goes, since the next user usually wants to know before they accept the box.

The lanes on this page: advanced manufacturing, plastics and chemicals, non-woven textiles, automotive and transportation equipment, and food and beverage.

The Lincoln County lanes, one by one

Lincoln names advanced manufacturing, plastics and chemicals, non-woven textiles, automotive and transportation equipment, and food and beverage. Employers listed include American Woodmark, Blum, Bosch, Cataler, LeeBoy and Timken. Cabinet and hardware makers use tall flat boxes for panels and fittings, while machinery and bearing makers use heavy short ones. Plastics lines add octabins. If your dock fits more than one of these, split the count by box type, and say whether panels or parts travelled flat in the box.

Staging the Lincoln County stack

Lincoln County plants vary from cabinet and hardware makers to bearing and machinery makers. Keep panel boxes flat and strapped, bearing and parts boxes on pallets with flaps intact, and plastics octabins upright with liners noted. Write the count of each family on a sheet. If your dock is up a grade or has a narrow gate, say so, since such details change how a pickup is planned. Tidy staging earns a faster answer.

Before you write from Lincoln County

Lincoln County plants often receive boxes through a single gate. If that is your case, tell us the gate width and the surface. Tall panel boxes and wide octabins do not always pass the same opening. A note on access is cheap to write and often decides which buyer can send a truck at all.

Where Lincoln County sits

The county lies between Gaston and Catawba, with Lincolnton as the city and US 321 as the road that links it to Hickory and Gastonia. A stack here is near enough to Hickory, Cherryville and Mooresville that the closest match may not be in Lincoln at all.

A request from Lincoln County, line by line (an illustration)

Imagine a Lincoln County plastics plant with thirty-five octabins at 46 x 38 x 36 in, liners left in, and a roll-goods line with twenty-four 3‑wall boxes at 48 x 40 x 36 in with full flap bottoms. The octabins and the roll boxes go on separate lines. State whether the liners will be removed before pickup, since a bag left inside changes what the next user must do.
