ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is provided for disassembling a wooden pallet having a plurality of longitudinal stringers and a plurality of transverse slats which are nailed or otherwise secured to the stringer edges to define top and bottom planar support surfaces. The apparatus includes a table defining a support surface for the pallet and a slat removing device pivotally carried by the table and disposed relative to the support surface to receive one of the end slats of the pallet. The slat removing device moves in an arc between the first position in which the pallet end slat is received and a second position in which the slat is removed from the stringers. Hydraulic actuators serve to move the slat removing device between the first and second positions. Apparatus are provided for retaining the pallet as the slat is removed. In a first embodiment, the slat removing device receives an upper end slat of the pallet and removes it by upward arcuate movement. In a second embodiment, a lower end slat of the pallet is received by the slat removing device, which pivots downward to remove the slat.
