ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for the disassembly of wooden pallets or the like is disclosed. Generally, a pallet comprises a nailed together wood structure having a plurality of parallel, spaced stringers and a plurality of slats nailed to the top and bottom faces of the stringers and extending generally transversely thereof. The apparatus of this invention comprises a frame, a table mounted on the frame for receiving a pallet to be disassembled, and a plurality of cutters, one for a respective stringer, for cutting the nails holding the slats to a respective stringer. The table with the pallet thereon is movable from a retracted position in which the pallet is clear of the nail cutters to an operative position. A pallet clamp is provided on the table for holding the pallet in position with its stringers extending parallel to the direction of movement of the table. The nail cutters are adjustably movable in transverse direction so that at least certain of the nail cutters may be aligned with respective stringers.
