How to start a pallet business. Production of wooden pallets

In the production activities of enterprises and private entrepreneurship associated with the release of any products or goods, items are needed for transportation. Containers, boxes, boxes. Which also need to be stacked on something for quick transportation and storage. Pallet production as a business is a profitable business. Pallets are always needed, for everyone who manufactures products.

Wooden Euro pallets

What is attractive about such a production

For aspiring entrepreneurs, the production of pallets is a good start. This business does not require large investments. At the same time, the income from this simple production is stable. If a businessman does not have large initial savings, he can, by starting the manufacture of wooden pallets, after some time accumulate a hefty amount. And then, if desired, he can move on to another, more solid business. Pallets are flat shipping containers made of metal, plastic or wood. Although plastic pallets are starting to come into fashion recently, the wooden base is still mainly used.

The production of metal containers is a separate issue. Most often, such containers are made not in the form of pallets, but in the form of containers. The production of wooden pallets is in demand in the market. They are always needed. Without them, there is no loading and unloading work. Not a single store, not a single company, not a single enterprise can do without pallets. Such is the specificity of modern production and life. The cost of a pallet is not high - an average of 200 - 250 rubles. When selling a pallet for 300 rubles, the average profit in the manufacture of a wooden pallet is within 50 - 100 rubles. Of course there are pallets different sizes. Most often, when transporting and storing products, pallets of 120x100x12 cm are used.

What it takes to be successful

Organizing your business, you need to register your company. For subsequent trouble-free operation. To be able to conclude contracts with other enterprises for the supply of raw materials, for the sale finished products. It is necessary to purchase machines or production lines for the production of pallets. If there are used machines in good condition, do not give them up. Such machines, which passed all the prescribed technological repairs, oiled and well-preserved, can serve for a long time. These machines are much cheaper than new machines. Entrepreneur with a small first initial capital Don't waste your money on good used machines. With such machines, production will be established, it will make a profit.

It is best to purchase flow automatic lines. They are tuned to GOST standards. Therefore, pallets manufactured on production lines, according to GOST standards, will be readily purchased by shops and enterprises. Starting such production, it is necessary to immediately determine the volume of output. Under the planned volume of production of finished products - draw up a business plan for the production of pallets. Where to register expenses and planned income. Negotiate with suppliers of raw materials for work. It is better to conclude an agreement with any woodworking company, without intermediaries. To ensure that raw materials for pallets arrive just in time. Moreover, it will cost less than when delivering raw materials through an intermediary.

So that finished pallets do not overflow warehouses, negotiate with buyers of finished products. Find a place to store products that may be delayed for some time before shipment to the consumer. Calculate the optimal number of employees in your company.

Profitability of pallet production how a business is made up of many components. All factors must be taken into account here. That is why it is necessary to keep records, it is necessary to draw up a business plan. With proper planning, a diligent owner will succeed.

Pallet assembly

Pallet manufacturing process

This production is easy. If there is a place to dry finished products, it will be cheaper to purchase raw wood as a raw material for work. And from this wood to do the following operations:

• sawn into boards and bosses;
• cut the manufactured boards;
• do the processing of bosses at the ends;
• collect items.

Ready-made pallets (made of raw wood) should be temporarily placed in warm, heated, dry rooms. So that they a short time were able to dry, acquired a presentation.

Business on pallets also happens with the purchase of dry wood. Here you need to be prepared for the fact that such harvesting is more expensive, and the purchase will cost more than raw wood. But the manufacture of pallets from dry wood does not require a special room for drying pallets. Finished products do not have to be kept in specially designated insulated warehouses. They can be shipped to the consumer immediately, as they are manufactured.

On the Internet, you can find videos of the production of pallets. Separately, boards are cut on special sawing machines. Well, if these are multi-cutting machines. There, in one run from a block of wood with the help of two, three cutting discs- several boards are being made at the same time. Equipment for the manufacture of wooden pallets is standard, it is used in many woodworking enterprises. It is better to have several machines of the same type, in case of an unexpected breakdown.

Need to buy special machine for the production of pallets, which could be used for only one operation - cutting bosses. And it is also desirable to have a spare such machine. If there is only one machine, if there is a long breakdown, the entire production will stop - due to a lack of bosses. To prevent this from happening, it is better to have a spare machine. It is necessary to purchase machines for cutting already sawn boards. If all the machines are correctly arranged one after another along the technological chain, you can create your own production line. Even better is to purchase a ready-made, albeit used, workable line.

Pallet assembly

The assembly of pallets is most often done on nails. Although there are firms that make pallet connections for screws. It is a rarity. Pallets are a quickly obsolete product. Loads are placed on them. They take goods on pallets with forklifts. Carrying goods with hydraulic hand trucks. Sometimes pallets break. Therefore, there is no technological reason to connect them with screws. After all, screws are more expensive than nails. Yes, screws need a screwdriver. If the assembly is done by hand, then in order to hammer in the nails, you only need an ordinary heavy hammer, or a pneumatic hammer. Therefore, they make pallets knocked down with nails.

Even when assembling by hand, it is better to have special tables for assembly. It is convenient to equip such a table with dimensional bars, corner templates. On such a special table, even with manual pallet assembly, up to two hundred pallets can be collected per shift. Products are not polished, the boards are left unprocessed, as this is just a container for transportation and storage.

Pallet production standards

Wooden pallets according to Russian GOST are somewhat different from European ones, especially in terms of lower fasteners. Russian hydraulic pallet trucks are adapted to the Russian GOST standard. When picking up a Euro pallet, it is very often difficult to roll the cart under the base of the pallet. Sometimes, in order to drive the cart down, you have to break the lower cross member of the euro pallet. For this reason, the production of euro pallets by a private entrepreneur in Russia is economically feasible only where there are already concluded agreements with enterprises on the supply of their products with euro pallets for export.

Then the production of euro pallets is justified and even profitable. In other cases, where Russian standards are applied, enterprises will be reluctant to take such pallets, or even refuse them altogether. Since such products will break during our loading, unloading. Which is fraught with possible emergency situations. And the company will need to buy more pallets. Which is unprofitable. An enterprise focused on the Russian consumer will find another entrepreneur that produces Russian standard pallets.

To make it clearer how important it is to be correctly oriented by the type of pallet standards, we can give the example of Chinese pallets. When driving our hydraulic trolley under such a product, the front part of all Chinese pallets breaks. Our pallet trucks are not suitable for Chinese extruded wooden crafts. Wheels with guides on our trolley are higher. Therefore, they break partially Chinese pallets. Almost the same can be said about euro pallets. A lot of Euro pallet standards do not fit ours. There are similar ones, but they are few. Most often, euro pallets break a little during our loading and unloading. So the production of such pallets for Russian consumption is undesirable. For export - you can make as many as you like.

Semi-automatic and automatic lines

If you want to update your business specifically for the production of pallets, you can purchase a semi-automatic line. Only this equipment for the production of pallets costs 10 million rubles. Such a line is served by two operators and a driver with a forklift. For such a line, a special room of sufficient dimensions is needed for full-fledged work. Semi-automatic line parameters:

• length - 6 meters;
• from the left edge to the right - 2 meters;
• height necessary premises- 3 meters.

The cost of the line may be less than 10 million. The lowest price is 5 million. The productivity of the semi-automatic line is up to 90 pallets per hour.

There is also automatic equipment for the production of pallets. If you have a good start-up capital - more than 10 million - you can purchase an automatic line. They are mostly found in Europe. Although we also have some businessmen who install automatic pallet production lines. And it's justified. Since the automatic line has a capacity of up to 650 pallets per minute. The fact is that the automatic line includes several streams at once. And such a line is serviced by five to six operators and two to three loaders. If you choose - to install a semi-automatic line or an automatic one, then it is better to choose the second one. The principle works: the faster the performance, the faster the equipment will pay off. Subsequently, there will be more profit than expenses.

Conclusion

Besides wooden pallets ov, recently began to become fashionable plastic, made of plastic. These pallets are convenient for transportation over long distances, are well stored, do not rot. Thanks to these pallets, new standards for international transport are found, acceptable to everyone. To master their production, you need to have special equipment. Moreover, production can also be established by processing plastic blanks that come directly from the plastic products factory under a contract. You can bake yourself in special molds using the injection molding method necessary blanks for pallets. Why are plastic raw materials in the form of powder or granules poured into the hoppers of press machines. Acrylic products are very cost-effective. The cost is small. The demand for such pallets is growing.

For a novice businessman with a small initial capital, a small enterprise for the production of hand-assembled wooden pallets is best suited. With a properly organized labor organization, the enterprise will provide a stable income.

For aspiring entrepreneurs, the production of pallets is a good start. This business does not require large investments.

New GOST 33757-2016

On May 1, 2017, a new state standard for the production of wooden pallets and pallets - GOST 33757-2016, and regulations GOST 9078-84 and GOST 9557-87 have become invalid.

In this article, we will analyze in detail the business of manufacturing pallets (pallets). Namely:

• what are pallets;
• what assembly technologies exist and which one is better to choose;
• is it possible to do this business in the garage;
• What are the expansion options?
• How much money do you need to start.

And also for clarity, we give an approximate calculation of profit.

What are pallets: types and prices

Pallets are wooden and plastic. The most common option is wood.

Wooden pallets are manufactured according to Russian and European standards, the latter are called euro pallets.

wooden pallets

For the Russian Federation, the most optimal option when choosing raw materials for manufacturing is wood. The type of pallet is directly related to the area in which it will be used. All standard sizes are given in GOST 9557-87 and GOST 9078-84.

For the Russian Federation, mandatory machine assembly is not regulated, but GOST 9557-87 is similar to European standards. All the nuances: thickness, number of nails, chamfers, etc. UIC 435-2 and GOST 9557-87 practically coincide. On the basis of such data, the conclusion suggests itself that pallets domestic production you can safely call it "euro pallets", but this is not entirely true. They put a brand on them - BK (without a stigma) - this significantly increases demand. They will not be allowed into Europe with them.

The cost is from 50 to 250 rubles.

Euro pallets

Abroad, the production of pallets is standardized by UIC 435-2. The law regulates only factory assembly. In fact, factory-made pallets are of better quality and have the correct geometry.

According to the manufacturing technology, phytosanitary treatment of pallets is required: chamber drying, fumigation or heat treatment. The most profitable for Russia is the third processing method.

Such pallets must be marked with EUR and EPA.

The cost is from 200 to 340 rubles.

plastic pallets

The second option for materials for the production of pallets is plastic. Plastic pallets have a large number of advantages, unlike wooden products: lightweight, resistant to moisture and other aggressive influences environment. When transporting products, there is no risk of damage by burrs or nails.

Plastic pallets are used in industries related to the manufacture of food products. The pallet material does not absorb odors and moisture, and is easy to care for (dirt and bacteria do not accumulate).

The cost is higher than that of wooden ones - starts from 400 rubles.

Production technologies

The main options for equipping the workshop:

1. Acquisition of equipment that was in production.
2. Purchase of new equipment.

Production of wooden pallets

The technology consists of the main stages:

1. Cutting blanks.
2. Board cutting.
3. Trimming bosses for pallets.
4. Assembly of the finished product.

There are three production methods, they differ in the degree of automation.

Manual assembly

The least costly way manual production, but such pallets will not enter the major market. 100-120 pieces of pallets are produced per day (4-5 minutes per pallet).

You will need an assembly table and a set of equipment (pneumatic tools, compressor, nails, etc.).

Teleology of manufacturing can be seen on the video.

semi-automatic

The method with higher productivity is semi-automatic. For production you need:

• devices for hammering nails;
• mounting assembly tables;
• machine cutting corners;
• conductors knocking down pallets;
• complex assembly lines.

It takes 2-3 minutes to produce one pallet.

Automatic

Two types of machines are used with an automatic line:

• a line based on a nailing machine (two machine operators and one loader work, 1 pallet takes 2 minutes);
• line using two nailers (1 minute per pallet).

To illustrate the video:

Production of plastic pallets

In the production of plastic pallets, special machines are used. The main methods are as follows.

"Press casting"

Raw materials are pressed in the prepared form.

The most difficult in this method is the manufacture of the mold. After its creation, the process of manufacturing pallets starts.

Main advantages:

• high productivity (500-650 items per day);
• accuracy, the weight of the pallets is strictly fixed;
• different materials can be used.

One casting cycle is equal to a minute - this significantly reduces the cost. The form is filled with raw materials under high pressure. A significant disadvantage is the high brittleness during cooling. The pallet can break from a small weight.

Rotary method

Plastic sand is poured into the mold, everything is loaded into the furnace, which is in constant rotation.

The technology of rotational casting differs significantly from "Press casting". No pressure is involved in the process of forming pallets. The powder adheres to the mold in uniform layers as it is rotated (rotated) in the oven. Such products serve for a long time, high-strength and their cost is higher. They are well cleaned, disinfected and more hygienic to use.

Pallet production in the garage

You can engage in the production of pallets in a regular garage. To do this, you need to assemble a special machine. In other words, a mounting form or table. For manufacturing, you will need channels, profiled pipes, corners.

With some experience on such a table, it will be possible to make big number pallet. However, it is more profitable to collect five tables, and involve employees in the production.

Business expansion

In addition to the manufacture of new pallets, you can arrange the sale of old ones. This type of activity does not require large investments. In this case, it will rather take time to find pallets for sale. You can also buy them low prices, repair and put back into action. The target audience of such a business is large firms, warehouses, commodity bases.

Another option for using pallets is the manufacture of furniture. This is a vast business niche. Pallet furniture:

• practical and inexpensive;
• environmentally friendly.

Today, such furniture is fashionable and popular.

Recruitment

When making pallets by hand, it is enough to hire a person who has the skills to work with a simple tool. Payment depends on the production or is selected on the basis of fixed rates, justified by economic norms, which are prescribed in the directories. The number of people depends on the number of prefabricated racks.

With an automated pallet manufacturing method, it is better to hire employees with technical education. Then they will still need to be trained to work on the equipment.

Type of salary - piece-bonus.

The main issue that should be studied before starting production is the implementation of pallets.

Main consumers:

• transportation companies;
• warehouses.

They are in every region. Also pay attention to:

• agricultural enterprises and farm enterprises;
• the shops, shopping centers, supermarkets;
• construction companies.

It is better to work out the customer base during business planning. Yes, many potential customers are already working with suppliers who have been in this market longer than you, but you can offer them cooperation for more favorable conditions with the best quality.

Business registration

To register a business, you should contact the Federal Tax Service at the place of residence and register the enterprise. You have two options: sole proprietorship or LLC.

IP is suitable for start-up entrepreneurs. The taxation system is USN.

• power of attorney (in the event that you personally will not draw up documents);
• receipt of payment of state duty - 800 rubles;
• passport and its copy;
• statement;
• TIN certificate (photocopy).

LLC - to establish large-scale production. Regular payment of tax including VAT.

Documents required for registration:

• receipt of payment of state duty (4000 rubles);
• statement;
• the decision to establish a company (when there is one founder) or the minutes of the meeting (when there are several founders);
• opening agreement (if more than two participants);
• charter;
• certificate confirming the presence of a legal address.

Financial calculations

For clarity, we calculate the possible income with the manual method of manufacturing pallets on 4 prefabricated racks.

Start-up capital

• 100,000 rubles - for the purchase or manufacture of 4 prefabricated racks;
• 100,000 rubles - equipment and consumables for assembly;
• 30,000 rubles - arrangement of the premises and other costs.

The approximate amount is 230 thousand rubles.

Monthly expenses

• 300,000 - raw materials;
• 20,000 rubles - rent of premises;
• 100,000 rubles - salaries to employees;
• 5,000 rubles - payment of utilities;
• 15,000 rubles - tax deductions.

The total expense will be 440,000 rubles

How much can you earn

Let's assume that production is fully loaded. 200 pallets are produced per day (8-hour working day), 4200 pallets per month (21 working days per month).

The average cost of a pallet is 200 rubles.

Revenue per month: 4200 * 200 = 840,000 rubles.

Subtract the monthly expenses and get 400,000 rubles.

Pallet business in ideal conditions can pay off in a quarter and will bring good stable profits.

Conclusion

On practice ideal conditions- a rare thing. Various unexpected circumstances will always take place. But at right approach, good business plan making pallets can bring a good profit. You don’t need to count on mountains of gold right away, but in the future, everything can work out.

The pallet manufacturing business is a highly profitable undertaking. Since not a single large warehouse, wholesale base or retail trade can do without this type of product.

Market analysis

Today, the production of wooden pallets is considered one of the highly profitable types of business. After all, large manufacturers use them to transport and store goods, and small retail outlets lay out their products on wooden pallets.

However, the proceeds from production, as in the case of any other type of product, will directly depend on market demand. It is possible to achieve the maximum percentage of sales only by setting up a large-scale release.

Fortunately, the absence of foreign competitors and the low level of demand for plastic, metal and other varieties of the product simplify the task.

Registration and organization of business

Register the new kind business can be done by contacting the branch of the Federal Tax Service at the place of residence. For this you need:

• to write an application;
• provide a primary package of documents;
• pay the state fee.

The form of taxation must be indicated as personal income tax, the reporting period - once a quarter. Select an OKVED code.

Premises and equipment

For start production line a number of conditions must be met. This is necessary for obtaining permits and optimizing production. These include:

Some entrepreneurs prefer to build a barn instead of renting a suitable space. The advantages of such a solution include the ability to rent out empty space and receive money for it or rent out the entire premises if things don’t work out.

The disadvantages of this solution include the high cost of the object. That is, you first need to purchase land plot, then start building and repairing. It will cost at least 2,000,000 rubles. Which greatly increases the cost of the project.

The choice and installation of equipment in production depends on the type of work activity:

1. Manual assembly. A hammer, nails, a saw and a centimeter are enough for her.
2. semi-automatic line. It implies the presence of at least one power tool and the average volume of deliveries under existing contracts.
3. Automatic line. The most popular among entrepreneurs, it allows you to perform high-precision work with an increase in production volumes.

Production technology

Theoretically, the production technology is the same for all manufacturing methods (manual, automatic, semi-automatic) and, nevertheless, in practice, each of them has its own characteristics.

Manual assembly. The basic manufacturing principle is to assemble wooden conductors (parts) without any involvement of machinery. All you need is:

• hammer;
• nails;
• hacksaw.

With employment up to 12 hours a day, you can produce 60 units of goods per day. This method of production is "fake" and the demand for such products usually does not go beyond food markets and small repair shops.

semi-automatic line. It is the same assembly of wooden conductors only using minimal electrical equipment:

• drills;
• screwdrivers;
• assembly machines.

The margin of safety of the finished product in this case will be increased, since with the help of equipment it is possible to process harder types of wood. The number of pellets produced by such a plant per day is about 150 pieces, provided that the working day is at least 12 hours.

Automated production. This option is the most acceptable for many aspiring entrepreneurs. Equipment for production is the simplest, inexpensive, and the speed of work is correspondingly higher.

Automatic line, semi-automatic or manual assembly?

The choice of one or another production line depends on the initial level of possible costs, the desired level of income and the personal efforts of the entrepreneur.

It has long been proven by economists and analysts in the field of finance that a tangible income from the production of any type of product can only be obtained by setting up full automation, while carrying out constant sales in large quantities. In any other case, one should only hope for an income level slightly above the average wage in the country. It is 30,000 rubles per month.

Raw materials and suppliers

It is necessary to purchase raw materials for production (wood or finished conductors) only from Russian suppliers. The main sellers of such products are:

• woodworking enterprises;
• sawmills;
• forestry companies and other organizations trading in timber and timber.

In addition to the above method of obtaining a raw material base, you can use an additional option - to conclude an agreement with public services environmental safety and forestry companies. In this case, the material will not cost a penny, and the level of income from the sale of birch, pine, oak and larch pallets will be tangible.

It is worth noting that the second method of obtaining “conditionally free wood” is extremely complicated.

The Government of the Russian Federation issued a decree that trees that died due to natural causes cannot be used for personal purposes, and even more so exported, among them:

• fire;
• flooding;
• burnout.

However, every law has its own loophole and the ability to get around it. One of these ways is precisely the agreement on the cleansing of the forest, because not every dead tree can bring tangible benefits to the environment and its inhabitants.

Staff

All economic activity of the enterprise rests on a well-organized marketing plan and a team of employees personal contribution which are simply invaluable. In order to get the job done and become successful businessman you will need to include in the staffing table:

1. Workers.
2. Equipment adjuster (electromechanics).
3. Accountant.
4. Secretary.
5. Delivery driver.

Sales market

The main buyers of wooden pallets are:

It is worth concluding mutually beneficial contracts with these enterprises. Most often, customers order large quantities of goods, which helps production develop and increase momentum.

However, in order for sales to bring not only “running” income, but also additional income, you need to purchase a car. Since initially there are few orders, a Gazelle will be enough, which is capable of accommodating at least 100 units of goods. Subsequently, it will be possible to buy another car or change the old one to a more serious mode of transport.

The financial component of the business

Absolutely any type of business is an independent or group project that requires full return and personal investment from the participants. In order to determine the liquidity of the entire process, it is necessary to calculate its economic component, which includes such items as:

• initial investment;
• income level;
• payback period.

Cost of opening and maintaining

With all the financial “ease” and relevance of this type of business, you still have to spend a substantial amount on registration and opening. Project cost items include:

The total amount payable depends on the chosen method. economic activity and production lines and can range from 20,000 rubles to 3,500,000 million rubles.

Profit per month

As mentioned earlier, economists and businessmen have long proved that the maximum level of income can be achieved by engaging in large-scale production. The profitability of such activities with medium or large monthly deliveries reaches 400,000 rubles, excluding taxes and other payments.

However, this mark can only be reached if the owner of the company can conclude several lucrative contracts in the first 2 months of work.

Payback period

The payback period of production directly depends on the demand for a product or service on the market. consumer market. The manufacture of wooden pallets is currently a super popular type of business activity and pays off in 6-7 months from the start of work.

The problem of choosing the right business solution comes down to the same law: “you need to work for the future.” Unfortunately, being engaged in the most demanded and even popular type of business, this is not always possible to do. Especially considering that the market segment has long been occupied by enterprising and far-sighted manufacturers. Therefore, before registering an enterprise, it is worth thinking a few more times: “Is this a business worth doing?”

In this material:

The profitability of pallet manufacturing as a business today is very high. Start such entrepreneurial activity follows from wooden pallets.

Business project concept

The entrepreneur organizes the search for raw materials, the production of pallets, and the sale of finished wooden containers. Pallets, pallets are flat-shaped carts with side boards and a hard bottom, created from various materials. The goods are placed on pallets. During loading and unloading operations, they are fastened together. For this, heat-shrinkable materials, stretch films, belts, fastening tapes are used. When moving goods, the use of a pallet can significantly save labor costs and time.

Often, human muscle power is sufficient for the job, but it is impossible to achieve such speed and efficiency when manually placing individual packages. Such pallets of the same dimensions and shape can easily move warehouse floor transport. For this, hydraulic warehouse carts, forklift trucks are used. This europack is used in trading floors, warehouses, industrial workshops when moving goods by road, sea or by rail. For warehousing pallets with cargo are placed on pallet racks.

Benefits of this business:

• organization of such technological process does not require significant start-up capital;
• highly skilled workforce is not required;
• extremely simple pallet production technology;
• no problems with sales;
• Euro containers are in high demand among consumers.

First steps in the pallet business

The main condition for the successful opening of the production of pallets is the analysis of the need for this product to consumers and the activities of competitors in this market segment. For a successful business, a competent business plan will be required before the start of production activities. This document reflects the analysis of profitability, prospects for the development of the entrepreneur's activities. Official status is necessary for your company to enter into long-term contracts.

Using waste, you can manually create cargo pallets at sawmills. This gives the entrepreneur the opportunity to start a business without actually serious start-up capital. V own garage you can start small-scale production of flat coasters if you have the necessary amount of cheap raw materials. To begin with, at any sawmill you can buy inexpensive boards, edged material.

With the development of the business for the creation and sale of wooden containers, production volumes are significantly increasing. This gives you the opportunity to move to the next level. Purchasing equipment is an important issue. You can buy used lines, machines in good condition or new ones. GOST 9557-87 contains all the requirements for lumber.

For the manufacture of pallets, it is required to purchase raw materials brought to the required state. These are unedged, semi-edged boards of the 2nd and 3rd grades or solid bars. It is enough to purchase pneumatic hammers and 2 sawmills to open a full-fledged production.

Potential users of pallets:

• shipping companies;
• set of trade enterprises;
• agro-industrial complexes;
• transport and logistics companies;
• manufacturing enterprises.

All suppliers need to be carefully examined to find out what consumers are satisfied with, what does not suit them.

Calculation of business profitability

The average price of lumber is 1.5 thousand rubles. for 1 m³. Sawing the trunk into boards is most often performed using the RM-50 multi-saw machine, which costs from 500 thousand rubles. Taking into account the price of building materials, wages of employees, taxes, rent of premises and other expenses, the cost of 1 pallet is 125 rubles. The income from each transport container will be about 75 rubles, since its price is approximately 200 rubles.

Features of pallet production

The production technology does not require special knowledge. Using a pneumatic hammer, a full-fledged wooden pallet can be made in a few minutes. For the purpose of assembling wooden pallets from prepared parts, the PalletsLine machine line is used. The cost of this professional conductor is from 260 thousand rubles. Its productivity per shift is 550 pcs.

Automated lines should be preferred to produce quality pallets. It is necessary to produce products in accordance with the requirements of GOST.
