Damage Assessment

Common Pallet Damage Types

Understanding the type and extent of damage helps determine the best repair approach.

Broken Deck Boards

Repairability: High

One of the most common and easily repairable issues. Broken boards are removed and replaced.

Split Blocks

Repairability: Medium-High

Blocks can often be reinforced or replaced. Critical for maintaining load capacity.

Loose Nails

Repairability: Very High

Simple re-nailing restores pallet integrity. Quick, cost-effective repair.

Forklift Damage

Repairability: Medium

Entry point damage from forklifts is common. Lead boards and stringers can be replaced.

Water Damage

Repairability: Low-Medium

Depends on severity. Minor swelling can be tolerated; severe rot requires component replacement.

Contamination

Repairability: Variable

Chemical or food contamination may require board replacement or make pallets unsuitable for certain uses.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of pallets can you repair?

We repair all standard wooden pallet types including EUR/EPAL, CP pallets, industrial pallets, and custom wooden pallets. We can also advise on plastic pallet repair options through our partner network.

How do you determine if a pallet is worth repairing?

We assess each pallet based on the extent of damage, repair costs vs replacement costs, and remaining useful life. Generally, if repair costs exceed 60% of new pallet cost, or if structural damage is too severe, we recommend replacement or recycling.

Will repaired pallets be as strong as new ones?

Yes. When repaired to EPAL standards using proper materials and techniques, repaired pallets retain their full load capacity. We guarantee the structural integrity of all our repairs.

Can repaired pallets be used for export?

Yes, provided they have been heat treated in accordance with ISPM 15. We can heat treat repaired pallets and provide the necessary IPPC stamps for international shipping compliance.

Do you offer regular repair contracts?

Yes, we offer ongoing repair agreements with scheduled pickups, guaranteed pricing, and priority service. This is ideal for businesses with consistent pallet repair needs. Contact us to discuss a custom arrangement.

What happens to pallets that cannot be repaired?

Pallets beyond economical repair are recycled through our responsible recycling program. The wood is converted into wood chips, mulch, or biomass fuel. Nothing goes to landfill, and you may receive credit for recyclable materials.
