Why Repair Instead of Replace?
Possible Cost Savings
Repair is often less expensive than replacing a pallet, especially when damage is limited to a few parts. The comparison depends on the damage and the pallet.
Less New Material
Repairing a pallet keeps most of its wood in use and avoids building a new one.
Keep Pallets You Already Have
Repair can suit operations that use a specific pallet size or design that is harder to replace.
Longer Service Life
Fixing small problems early can keep a pallet in service longer and helps stop minor damage from spreading.
Common Pallet Repairs
Deck Board Replacement
Broken, cracked or missing top and bottom deck boards are removed and replaced with boards of a similar size.
- • Single or multiple boards
- • Top and bottom decks
- • Similar wood and thickness
- • Often salvaged from other pallets
Stringer Repair
Stringers are the long support beams of a pallet. Damaged ones are commonly reinforced with metal plates or a companion stringer, or replaced.
- • Metal stringer plates
- • Companion stringers
- • Full stringer replacement
- • Check suitability for racking
Block Replacement
On block pallets, damaged or missing blocks are replaced so the pallet sits level and keeps its four-way forklift entry.
- • Individual block replacement
- • Four-way entry preserved
- • Height matched to other blocks
- • Refastened to the deck
Other Repair Work to Ask About
Fastener Replacement
Loose, missing or protruding nails can damage goods and injure workers, so they are a common repair item.
Edge Repair
Split or damaged edges can catch on equipment or products. Replacing the affected board is the usual fix.
Reinforcement
If pallets carry heavy loads, ask whether added support is practical for your design.
Heat Treatment
If repaired pallets are for export, ask whether they need re-treatment and re-marking under ISPM 15, and check current regulations.
How Pallet Repair Typically Works
1. Send a Request
Use the form to describe the quantity, pallet size and type of damage. We pass your details to a partner supplier.
2. Assessment
The partner supplier reviews the damage, may ask for photos, and works out which pallets are worth repairing.
3. Quote

Repair Arrangements to Ask About
Drop-Off
Some partner suppliers may accept pallets at their own location. Ask if you can transport the pallets yourself.
Pickup & Return
Partner suppliers may be able to collect pallets, repair them and return them. This may suit larger quantities.
On-Site Repair
For large quantities, ask whether repair at your location is possible. It depends on the supplier and your site.
What to Ask About Repair Quality
Before you approve repair work, these questions can help you compare what you are being quoted:
Materials
Will replacement boards match the original pallet in size and strength? Are they new or salvaged?
Fasteners
What fasteners are used? Ring-shank and spiral nails are commonly used in pallets because they grip well.
Load Requirements
Will the repaired pallet suit your load weight and handling method? Share your requirements up front.
Finished Condition
How are repaired pallets checked for protruding nails, sharp edges and structural weak points?
Planning a Larger Repair Batch?
Setting damaged pallets aside as you find them makes a batch easier to count and assess. When you are ready, send your request with the quantity and damage types. We take requests from the Jacksonville area; availability depends on partner suppliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Jacksonville Pallets repair pallets itself?

What types of pallet damage can be repaired?
Common repairs cover cracked deck boards, broken stringers, missing boards and protruding nails. A partner supplier can tell you what is practical for your pallets.
How long does a repair take?
Timing depends on the partner supplier, the quantity and the damage. Include any deadline in your request and they will confirm when they follow up.
Are pickup and return available?
They may be, through partner suppliers. Say in your request whether you need pallets collected and returned.
Is there a minimum quantity for repair jobs?
Any minimum is set by the partner supplier. Share your quantity and they will tell you whether the job is practical.
Can custom-size pallets be repaired?
Often, depending on the design and the materials available. Share the dimensions and type of damage in your request.
How much can I save by repairing instead of replacing?
It depends on the damage, the pallet and current prices. Repair is often less expensive for limited damage, and a partner supplier quote will give you an actual figure to compare.

Not always, since repairs such as stringer plates can affect how a pallet runs on automated equipment. Tell the partner supplier your requirements before approving the work.
