Q1: What is a wooden pallet collar?
A wooden pallet collar is a modular, collapsible sidewall system that attaches to a standard pallet (usually wooden or plastic). It creates a secure containment space for goods, turning a flat pallet into a sturdy box-like structure. Walls can be stacked to adjust height as needed.
Q2: What are the main advantages of using pallet collars?
Space Efficiency: Collapsible design saves over 80% storage space when not in use.
Reusable & Durable: Made from quality timber, they can be reused many times with proper handling.
Customizable Height: Multiple collars can be stacked to achieve desired containment height.
Easy Assembly & Dismantling: No tools required—walls simply lock into place.
Ventilation & Visibility: Gaps between slats allow airflow and easy content inspection.
Q3: What load capacity can pallet collars support?
Our standard pallet collars are designed for static loads up to **1,000 kg** when properly assembled and stacked. Dynamic load capacity (during transport) depends on stacking height, cargo distribution, and securing methods. Please consult our technical guide for detailed specifications.
Q4: Are your pallet collars compliant with international phytosanitary standards?
Yes. All our pallet collars are heat-treated (HT) in accordance with **ISPM 15** regulations, and marked with the IPPC logo. This ensures they are safe for international export without risk of pest transmission.
Q5: Can I customize the size or design?
Absolutely. We offer customization in:
- **Dimensions**: Tailored to fit non-standard pallet sizes.
- **Wood Type**: Options include pine, plywood, or engineered wood.
- **Special Features**: Solid walls (for fine particles), reinforced corners, labeling panels, or branding stamps.

Q6: How do I assemble and secure a pallet collar?
1. Place the base pallet (compatible size) on a level surface.
2. Position the first collar layer onto the pallet, ensuring corner locks engage.
3. Add additional layers as needed, aligning corners precisely.
4. After loading, secure goods internally with filler material if required.
5. For transport, use strapping or stretch wrap around the entire unit.

Q7: How should I maintain and store pallet collars?
- **Cleaning**: Brush off debris; avoid high-pressure water to prevent wood swelling.
- **Storage**: Collapse units and store flat in a dry, covered area. Stack neatly to avoid deformation.
- **Inspection**: Check for loose slats or damaged corners before reuse. Minor repairs can extend service life significantly.
Q8: What is the typical lead time for orders?
Standard sizes: **7–10 working days** after confirmation.
Customized orders: **10–20 working days**, depending on complexity.
Rush orders may be available—please inquire.

- **Automotive**: Storing and transporting parts.
- **Agriculture**: Packing produce or nursery plants.
- **Retail & E-commerce**: Consolidating mixed goods.
- **Industrial**: Holding bulk components or tools.
- **Logistics**: Creating temporary mobile storage units.
