Restore Fleet Health with Industrial Pallet Repair

Pallet Repair
Don’t retire assets prematurely. We extend the life of your wooden pallets through expert structural repairs, maintaining your inventory levels at a fraction of the replacement cost.

The Cost of Neglected Maintenance

Unnecessary CapEx: Buying new pallets constantly because you lack a process to fix minor board damage drains your budget.
Safety Hazards: Protruding nails and splintered stringers injure staff and damage product packaging during handling.
Operational Jams: Damaged pallets fail in automated systems, causing downtime for your warehouse-optimized pallets.
Yard Clutter: Without active waste clearing and triage, broken units accumulate and block vital dock space.

On-Site vs. Off-Site Repair: Which Model Suits Your Facility?

We tailor our repair model to your operational needs. Through initial packaging engineering, we determine whether a deployed team at your facility or an off-site depot program is more efficient. This service integrates with our wider industrial services to keep your supply chain fluid.

Fast Turnaround

We align repair schedules with your packaging logistics to ensure you never run short of usable assets.

Lifecycle Savings

Our pallet management programs track repair ratios, reducing your need for external stock purchases.

GMA Standards

We engineer project cargo packaging like companion stringers and plating to guarantee load capacity meets industry safety standards.

FAQs Made Simple
Wooden pallets are repaired by removing damaged components and replacing them with sound timber. Common repairs include replacing broken deck boards, attaching ‘companion stringers’ (plugs) alongside cracked stringers to restore strength, and flattening protruding nails. We use specialized pneumatic tools and dismantling bars to do this efficiently without damaging the rest of the pallet. The goal is to restore the unit’s original geometry and load-bearing capacity. Schedule a repair audit to fix your damaged fleet.
A companion stringer, also known as a plug or half-stringer, is a piece of lumber placed alongside a damaged section of an existing stringer. If a pallet stringer is cracked but not shattered, we nail this reinforcement piece next to the damage. This bridges the weak point and restores the vertical load-bearing capacity of the pallet. It is a standard, industry-accepted repair method that is much faster and cheaper than replacing the entire stringer. Learn more about our efficient repair techniques.
A pallet is generally considered beyond repair when the cost of labor and materials to fix it exceeds the value of a replacement used pallet. Typically, if a pallet has multiple broken stringers or widespread rot/contamination, it is downgraded to scrap. However, even ‘beyond repair’ pallets are valuable to us—we dismantle them to harvest the remaining good boards for other repairs, ensuring maximum material recovery. Let us sort your pile to determine what is salvageable.
Safety standards for repaired pallets dictate that the unit must be flush (no protruding nails), square, and capable of holding its rated load. Repairs like stringer plugs must be of a specific length relative to the crack. Deck boards must be properly spaced and fastened. We follow strict quality assurance protocols to ensure that a repaired pallet will not jam your conveyors or collapse in your racks. Our repairs prioritize worker safety and product security.
