Cost-Effective Supply
Why Choose Reconditioned?
Reconditioned pallets are inspected to ensure structural integrity. If you need a cost-effective, sustainably-sourced option, UWP can supply reconditioned inventory to your specifications. Every pallet leaves our yard ready for use.
Reconditioned pallets reduce waste, lower your pallet cost per unit, and support circular supply chain goals — without sacrificing the consistency your operations demand.
Our Standards
What We Inspect
Every pallet in our reconditioned inventory is physically inspected. We check:
Structural Integrity
All stringers and blocks evaluated for splits, breaks, and crush damage. Deck boards checked for missing, broken, or inadequately fastened boards.
Dimensional Compliance
Pallets must meet dimensional tolerances. Warped or out-of-square pallets are rejected.
Fastener Condition
Protruding nails, missing fasteners, and loose boards are identified. Boards requiring re-nailing are repaired.
Frequently Asked Questions
Reconditioned Pallet FAQs
What is a reconditioned pallet?
A reconditioned pallet is a used pallet that has been inspected, repaired, and re-graded to a reliable, reusable standard. UWP replaces broken boards and stringers as needed, restoring structural integrity at a lower cost than new while keeping pallets out of landfills.
What is the difference between Grade A and Grade B reconditioned pallets?
Grade A reconditioned pallets are near-new with minimal repair and clean, uniform deck boards. Grade B pallets carry more repairs, including companion stringers and replaced boards, at a lower price. Both are inspected for structural integrity before they ship.
Are reconditioned pallets as strong as new?
For most standard 48x40 loads, yes. Reconditioned pallets meet the same structural integrity requirements before shipping. New pallets are recommended for automated lines, exact-tolerance racking, or applications that need consistent appearance and dimensions.
How much can reconditioned pallets save?
Reconditioned pallets are priced well below new, with the exact savings depending on grade and market conditions. They are ideal for high-turn domestic shipping where appearance matters less than reliable, repeatable performance. Request a quote for current bulk pricing.
