Success Story: Better Builds. Better Budgets.
How improved pallet quality and pricing strengthened operations
Industry: Manufacturing
Company Overview
A Midwest manufacturer relied on recycled pallets from a local supplier, but inconsistent builds were disrupting production. Some pallets were uneven, cracked, or too weak for forklift handling—costing both time and money.
Challenge
The company needed a reliable pallet partner who could provide consistent quality and competitive pricing. Their previous supplier’s inconsistent construction caused repeated rework, product damage, and delivery delays.
Specific Issues
Inconsistent Builds
Uneven deck boards and spacing led to unstable loads.
Cracked Components
Weak stringers and damaged boards caused product loss.
Overpriced Supply
Paying more for poor-quality pallets reduced profit margins.
Pallet Pro’s Solution
Objective
Deliver consistent, high-quality recycled pallets at a lower total cost—helping the manufacturer stabilize operations and protect product integrity.
Approach
Our team inspected their pallet inventory and replacement cycles to understand failure patterns. We then coordinated with trusted regional suppliers to provide machine-built recycled pallets with tighter tolerances, stronger deck boards, and uniform spacing. The result: fewer damaged pallets, smoother handling, and predictable performance.
Conclusion
Within months, pallet failures dropped significantly, and overall handling efficiency improved. The customer now saves money while maintaining the reliability they were missing before. Pallet Pro’s consistency and communication have made us their go-to partner for every order.
