Frequently Asked Questions

When should I repair versus replace a pallet?

If the frame is intact and damage is limited to deck boards or a stringer, repair is typically more cost-effective. We advise when replacement is the better option.

What grades are pallets after repair?

Repaired pallets are graded to consistent A or B standards so you know exactly what quality to expect in every load.

How fast can you turn around repairs?

Most repairs are completed within 24–72 hours depending on volume. Rush options are available when capacity allows.

Do you offer on-site repairs?

For large quantities, we can schedule on-site repair days or exchange damaged pallets for ready-to-use inventory.

What materials do you use for repairs?

We use quality lumber and ring-shank nails to restore strength and durability comparable to original build specs.

Can you pick up damaged pallets and return them repaired?

Yes. We collect damaged pallets, repair them in our facility, and redeliver them or swap during the next route.

Is there a minimum quantity for repair service?

There is no strict minimum, but batching repairs in larger quantities reduces handling costs. We will propose the most efficient approach.

Do you inspect pallets before returning them?

Every repaired pallet is inspected for deck integrity, stringer strength, and nail tightness to ensure safe reuse.

How much can repairs save compared to buying new?

Repairs typically cost a fraction of new pallets, often reducing spend by 30–60% while keeping inventory in circulation.

Can repaired pallets be heat-treated?

If a pallet requires additional repair after heat treatment, it must be re-treated and re-stamped. We can manage this process when needed.
