Design Pallet Specs Before You Build the Line
Pallets are often overlooked during facility design—but the wrong pallet can cause major friction after install. We advise customers to bring us in early during the design phase to ensure:
- The chosen pallet supports high-speed automation
- Entry points align with conveyors, stackers, and robotics
- Materials withstand local humidity or handling conditions
- Racking is properly spec’d for the pallet footprint
- Future repair, reuse, and export needs are accounted for
Smart Companies Bring Us In During:
- Greenfield facility design or plant expansion
- WMS or conveyor integration projects
- Automation upgrades or retrofit of legacy systems
- Sustainability or reuse initiative rollouts
- Vendor consolidation or pallet pool transition planning
