Frequently Asked Questions

How our repair services work for pallets, gaylord boxes, and IBC totes

What items can you repair?

We repair wood and plastic pallets, gaylord boxes, and IBC totes, addressing structural issues like broken boards, torn walls, valves, and cages.

How long does repair usually take?

Standard turnaround is 48-72 hours after receiving items, depending on volume and required work.

Do you pick up items for repair?

Yes. We can collect pallets, boxes, and totes for repair and deliver them back, or you can drop them at our facility.

How do you decide if an item should be repaired or recycled?

We assess safety and structural integrity first. Items beyond repair are diverted to recycling; usable items are repaired and graded.

Do repaired items come with a quality check?

Every repaired item is inspected, re-nailed or patched as needed, and graded so you know the expected lifespan.

Can you match specific specs or heat treatment?

We can repair to match your spec for boards, blocks, or liners and can supply heat-treated pallets where required.

Is cleaning included for totes?

Reconditioning includes interior cleaning, valve checks or replacement, and cage straightening as needed.

Is there a minimum quantity for repairs?

No strict minimum, but pickups are most cost-effective for larger batches. We can combine with deliveries to reduce freight.

Do you provide documentation after repairs?

We can provide repair summaries, counts, and photos if required for your records.

Can you set up recurring repair programs?

Yes. We can schedule recurring pickups and returns to keep your fleet in service and reduce new purchases.
