ABSTRACT:
A method for repairing pallets includes the steps of sorting the pallets into groups depending on the type of repair that initially needs to be made to each of the pallets. After the initial repair, the remaining damaged portions of the pallets ace repaired in separate processing lines. In certain instances, pallets from different groups can be combined for subsequent processing. Apparatus for repairing pallets includes an inverter for turning pallets face-up or face-down without manual effort, and a deckboard spreader for separating deckboards to enable defective deckboard-supporting blocks to be removed and replaced.
