A recycled pallet refers to any pallet that has previously been used and may have undergone repairs on its stringers or deck boards. It’s worth noting that the majority of pallets in circulation have been reused or repaired at some point in their lifespan.
At VJP Pallets Inc, we provide a wide selection of cost-effective options for wooden pallets, including used and recycled ones. Our commitment to quality means that every pallet undergoes a meticulous process to meet the high standards of our customers.
Grade 1 Recycled Pallets
Grade 1 recycled pallets refer to pallets that have undergone a comprehensive refurbishment process to restore them to a high-quality condition. These pallets have been repaired, with any broken or damaged stringers replaced or reinforced with metal plates. Additionally, all worn or damaged deck boards have been replaced, resulting in a pallet that is sturdy and reliable. Grade 1 recycled pallets are sought after by various industries, particularly those that require pallets that are in excellent condition and can withstand heavy loads. These pallets offer a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to new pallets while maintaining structural integrity and functionality.
This category of recycled pallets has been meticulously repaired to restore them to a condition that closely resembles their original state. In cases where stringers have been damaged, they have been replaced or mended using metal plates. Additionally, any deck boards that were previously damaged have been entirely replaced. These pallets are notably clean and exhibit excellent structural integrity. They are particularly sought after by industries such as food manufacturing plants, as well as customers who prefer pallets that have seen slightly less use and offer enhanced strength.
Grade 2 Recycled Pallets
Grade 2 recycled pallets refer to pallets that have undergone a refurbishment process but may have some visible signs of previous use. These pallets are still structurally sound and functional but may have minor imperfections such as repaired stringers or deck boards. Grade 2 recycled pallets are a more affordable option compared to Grade 1 or new pallets, making them suitable for customers looking for cost-effective solutions without compromising on usability.
The Grade 2 recycled pallet holds a vital role as the reliable workhorse within the shipping, manufacturing, and warehousing industry. It goes by different names such as companion stringer, block stringer, or double stringer pallet. Grade 2 pallets, often denoted as “B” grade, typically feature two or fewer repaired stringers. Due to multiple repairs over their lifespan, the deck configuration of “B” grade pallets may not always be consistent. However, they remain functional and dependable for various applications. These pallets, although exhibiting signs of previous repairs, continue to serve as cost-effective solutions, supporting the efficient movement and storage of goods in industries where visual consistency is not the primary concern.
