Why Repair Pallets?
Cost Savings
Repairing a pallet costs 40-60% less than buying new. A $60 new pallet costs only $20-$35 to repair. For operations with hundreds of pallets, repair programs save $15,000-$30,000 annually. ROI typically achieved within 2-3 months.
Environmental Impact
Repairing extends pallet lifespan by 5-10 additional years. Prevents 10-15 tons of wood waste annually from our typical customer base. Reduces demand for new lumber, saving trees and resources. Supports sustainability goals and corporate responsibility initiatives.
Operational Continuity
Keeps inventory moving without waiting for new pallet purchases. Rapid turnaround means minimal downtime. Maintains supply chain efficiency and prevents production delays. Quick scheduling accommodates urgent needs.

Repair Process
Step 1: Intake & Inspection
Pallets arrive at our repair facility and are logged into the system. Each pallet receives thorough inspection: dimensional verification, damage assessment, wood quality evaluation, and structural integrity check. Photographs taken and damage documented. Estimates provided for customer approval.
Step 2: Damage Assessment
Trained technicians categorize damage: board replacement, nail repair, stringer damage, or complete restoration needed. Repair priority determined. Beyond-repair pallets identified for recycling. Decision to proceed based on repair cost vs. replacement value analysis.
Step 3: Repair Execution
Skilled technicians perform repairs using premium materials. Damaged boards carefully removed and replaced with high-quality lumber. Nails removed and replaced with new fasteners. Stringers reinforced or replaced as needed. Work completed to Grade B standard or better. Quality maintained throughout process.
Step 4: Quality Verification
Every repaired pallet undergoes quality inspection: dimensional check, structural verification, load capacity assessment. Random pallets undergo destructive load testing. Final inspection ensures repair meets specifications and standards. Approved pallets move to QA holding.
Step 5: Cleaning & Finishing
Pallets cleaned of debris and dirt. Optional sanding smooths surfaces. Staining or sealing available for cosmetic enhancement. Branding or identification marks applied if needed. Final cosmetic preparation ensures professional appearance.

Types of Damage We Repair
Cracked & Split Boards
Cracked top and bottom boards are most common damage. We remove damaged boards and replace with Grade A lumber. Repairs restore structural integrity and load capacity. Repairable if cracks don't extend to stringers. Turnaround: 2-3 days.
Damaged Stringers
Stringer damage compromises load capacity and handling. We repair or replace damaged stringers with new pressure-treated lumber. Structural reinforcement ensures pallet meets original specifications. Load tested after repair. Turnaround: 3-4 days.
Bent & Missing Nails
Bent or protruding nails are safety hazards and reduce load security. We remove and replace with new galvanized nails. Proper fastening ensures safe handling and transport. Quick and inexpensive repair. Turnaround: 1-2 days.
Wood Splitting & Decay
Split wood weakens structural integrity. Decayed wood from moisture exposure must be removed. Board replacement restores strength. Structural assessment determines if full restoration needed. Turnaround: 3-5 days.
Forklift Damage
Impact damage from forklift punctures or crushes boards and stringers. We assess damage and perform repairs or replacement. Structural verification ensures proper load capacity restoration. Turnaround: 2-4 days.
Worn or Missing Corner Plates
Corner plates protect against damage and add stability. Worn or missing plates compromise durability. We install new metal corner plates for reinforcement. Improves pallet lifespan by 3-5 years. Turnaround: 1-2 days.
