Pallet sorting can be done manually or with a machine or with a lift assist
This video showcases how to sort pallets using a lift assist which is a very ergonomically way to sort out batches of pallet stacks
In this video we are sorting out stacks and getting 'standard B' stock 48x40 pallets ready for customers. The pallets that are broken are taken away to the repair room to be fixed.
Grade A and B definitions are below:
Grade A Pallets
Grade A pallet classification encompasses the highest quality recycled pallets. These pallets are in exceptional condition, with no stringer repairs and only minor discoloration or superficial imperfections.
Grade A pallets are considered suitable for display purposes in grocery stores or markets where they will come in direct contact with customers.
Subdivisions within the category have been established to distinguish between the most like-new and those with minor imperfections.
Grade B Pallets by definition:
Pallets are classified as Grade B pallets if they show evidence of more extensive use and damage. They may be worn and discolored or have previous stringer repairs with either metal plates and fasteners or supporting blocks.
Warehousing and shipping applications use Grade B pallets as an alternative to more expensive products because the appearance of the pallets doesn’t matter as much in these situations.
Pallet industry recyclers will further classify Grade B pallets into subcategories according to the number of repair patches the pallets have per forklift cavity and the types of repairs completed.
Repairs made with metal plates and fasteners tend to be more secure and streamlined. These types of repairs may only indicate small amounts of damage, whereas repairs made using blocks to support stringers indicate more structurally compromising damage.
