Reduce environmental impact with recycling programs and sustainable pallet practices
Streamline warehouse operations and increase throughput with expert pallet management
Store pallets in covered, well-ventilated areas elevated 4-6 inches off the ground to prevent moisture damage and extend lifespan by up to 3x.
Implement a 3-point inspection: check for broken boards, protruding nails, and structural integrity before each use to prevent product damage.
Center loads and distribute weight evenly. Overhang should not exceed 3 inches on any side to maintain structural integrity and safety.
Repair pallets with minor damage (1-2 broken boards). Replace when stringers are cracked or 3+ boards are damaged - saves 30-50% on costs.
In winter, allow pallets to acclimate to warehouse temperature for 24 hours before loading to prevent moisture-related issues.
For international shipping, always order ISPM 15 certified pallets upfront - retrofitting treatment costs 3-4x more than pre-treated pallets.
