I went to a buyer yesterday and i sold scrap and on the average the pallet and gaylord weighed from 40 to 80 lbs. hope this is a big help to you.

kinda late reply on this one but i have a seller that his guys keep filling gaylords without taring them so I deduct 75 lbs. They use the flimsy pallets and tri-wall produce boxes so I usually come out ahead. 65 to 80 seems the norm for me except for the 4 way ones. Seems the produce gayloads run lighter than the industrial ones like from plastics manufacturers.
