What Affects Wooden Pallet Service Life?

Wooden pallet service life depends on design, load, handling, storage and damage rather than one universal number of journeys. New and reused units both need suitability checks for their application. Inspect pallets consistently and remove unsuitable units from service instead of assuming that appearance or treatment predicts remaining life.

Use condition-based decisions

Repairs and export treatment status need controlled assessment, while end-of-life decisions should consider contamination and the appropriate waste or recovery route.
