Automation of Pallet Handling for Production and Logistics
Manual Pallet Handling Leads to Losses
The traditional “hands-on” workflow:
Requires a Forklift
An initial “full” stack of 25 pallets is split by a forklift into half-stacks of 10 pallets, so that an operator can manually remove the top pallet. This process requires additional time and increases forklift travel and workload to replenish pallet dispensing areas with half-stacks.
Pallets Get Damaged
To reduce physical effort and speed up the process, operators often drop pallets from half-stacks onto the floor before building a pallet stack. This practice significantly reduces pallet service life.
Excessive Time and Labor Costs
Manually removing a pallet from a stack and placing it onto a cart takes up to 25 seconds per pallet. With high order volumes, this operation alone can consume up to 30 minutes of working time per shift.
Health and Workplace Safety Risks
A pallet can weigh up to 40 kg and is bulky and difficult to handle manually. Manual pallet handling places significant stress on joints and the lower back and carries a high risk of injury if a pallet falls on an operator.

The Pallet Store Delivers Faster Operations, Reduces Manual Work, and Improves Workplace Safety
Always a Ready Pallet
In dispensing mode, the pallet store lifts the stack above the bottom pallet, which can be picked up by a pallet truck within seconds. This cycle repeats continuously, without additional time or physical effort from personnel.
Extends Pallet Service Life
There is no need to drop or throw pallets. The system handles each pallet gently, preparing it properly for order picking and significantly extending its service life.
Part of a Digital Ecosystem
The pallet store can automatically generate tasks for forklifts to replenish new stacks, reducing downtime and minimizing operational and administrative costs. Without a pallet store, AMR and FMR robots cannot operate efficiently.
Automatic Stack Building
The pallet store can build stacks without unnecessary labor. In accumulation mode, the stack is automatically lifted, freeing space for the next incoming pallet.

SKU: STACKER
The optimal solution for automating pallet dispensing to pallet trucks, accelerating warehouse operations, and reducing manual labor. Paletron significantly improves workplace safety: pallets are not dropped onto the floor, and stacks never collapse onto personnel or warehouse equipment. The system can also operate in accumulation mode, receiving pallets from pallet trucks and stacking them automatically.
