How Our Repair & Reuse Program Works
We partner with customers to create a closed-loop or centralized repair model based on your shipping patterns and pallet mix. Hinton can sort, grade, and repair pallets to your specifications—whether they’re ours or sourced from other manufacturers.
- Visual & structural inspections at each cycle
- Grading & sortation by performance condition
- Repair-to-spec using approved fasteners and components
- ISPM-15 certification for reuse in export lanes
- Optional branding or stencil services to deter loss
The Case for Repair and Reuse
- In high-volume supply chains, replacing damaged pallets adds up—financially and environmentally. Our program:
- Reduces pallet spend and disposal costs
- Enables standardization across multi-use fleets
- Lowers your CO₂ footprint and landfill contribution
- Ensures compatibility with racking, conveyors, and automation
- Supports spec compliance across all pallet types
- Repair Is More Effective with a Standardized Spec
- This program works best when paired with our Pallet Specification Audit Program, which helps define the performance baseline for your repair protocol. By aligning builds and repairs to a single certified spec, you reduce variability, improve system compatibility, and extend lifecycle value.
Ideal for Closed-Loop, Multi-Use Pallet Environments
- Consumer packaged goods (CPG) shippers
- Food and beverage manufacturers
- Retail and club store distribution
- Export programs with returnable wood pallets
- Facilities looking to reduce pallet-related downtime or damage claims
