At The Pallet Factory, we believe that the addition of automation helps increase productivity and quality while reducing costs. This means that our customers get high-quality pallets at a very competitive price. Our state-of-the-art 40,000-square foot facility in Memphis, Tennessee, is one of the largest and most automated pallet facilities in the country. We would like to extend a personal invitation to our customers and prospective customers to come tour our facility.

Currently, The Pallet Factory uses Machine Specialists, Inc. (M.S.I.), equipment for recycling pallets and Viking Engineering equipment for new pallet manufacturing.

Pallet Dispensing

Our M.S.I. De-stacker is the cornerstone of our automated sort and repair systems. This machine will take entire stacks of either sorted or unsorted pallets and dispense them individually onto a conveyor for further downstream processing. We currently have several of these machines within our organization.

Pallet Repair

At The Pallet Factory, we no longer repair pallets the conventional way using a repair table and nail gun. We now repair pallets on our M.S.I. Automated Sort and Repair System. This ASR System is an assembly line very similar to what you would see in an industrial manufacturing plant. The unrepaired pallets are placed on the conveyor at the beginning of the line and not removed until they reach the end of the line fully stacked and repaired to the NWPCA's repair standard. Repairing pallets in this fashion allows us to keep up with our high production demands while maintaining exceptional quality standards.

Pallet Sortation

We sort in excess of 15,000 pallets per day at The Pallet Factory. Dealing with such huge volumes, it is imperative that they are sorted efficiently and effectively. With our M.S.I. Pallet Sortation Systems, unsorted pallets are loaded in full stacks onto the loading conveyor and are automatically sorted and then dispensed onto the out-feed conveyors fully stacked into their respective categories. These sort systems are well utilized by The Pallet Factory internally as well as in our customers' facilities for on-site sortation. We currently have several of these machines within our organization.

Wood Recovery

Recycling all possible material is a primary goal at The Pallet Factory. Unusable pallets enter our organization on a daily basis. Instead of disposing of these pallets, we have implemented M.S.I.'s Wood Recovery Systems to dismantle the pallets and turn the lumber into reusable material.

Pallet Manufacturing

Large quantities of pallets are efficiently and consistently produced on our Viking automatic nailing machines while smaller custom orders are produced with hand held nail guns. This allows us to meet high production demands while keeping a quality, unified pallet spec. In addition, it allows us to keep our prices competitive within the marketplace. We currently have several of these machines within our organization.
