Our Accessory Range

Pallet Collars

$15 – $35 per collar

Hinged wooden collars that stack on standard pallets to create modular bins. Available in standard and custom sizes. Collapsible for easy storage and return shipping. Each collar adds approximately 8 inches of height and can be stacked up to 6 high, creating enclosed containers up to 48 inches tall. Corners use galvanized steel hinges rated for 5,000+ open/close cycles.

Common uses: Warehousing, parts storage, agricultural produce, retail display

Pallet Covers & Lids

$8 – $20 per lid

Plywood and pressed-wood lids that protect loads during transport and stacking. Prevents dust, moisture, and debris from reaching your products. Available in standard 48" x 40" and custom sizes. Lids feature reinforced edges to prevent cracking and can be used with or without pallet collars. Weight capacity on top surface supports stacking of loaded pallets up to 2,000 lbs.

Common uses: Outdoor storage, long-haul transport, dusty environments

Corner Protectors

$0.50 – $4 per piece

Cardboard and plastic corner guards that prevent strap damage and load shifting. Essential for fragile or high-value cargo. Available in L-shaped and U-shaped profiles, in lengths from 12 inches to 96 inches. Cardboard protectors are recyclable and cost-effective for one-way shipping. Plastic protectors are reusable for hundreds of cycles in closed-loop supply chains.

Common uses: Strapped loads, fragile goods, heavy stacking

Slip Sheets

$2 – $8 per sheet

Thin plastic or fiber sheets used as pallet alternatives for push-pull attachment forklifts. Reduces weight and cost for export shipping. Each slip sheet weighs under 3 lbs compared to 40+ lbs for a wood pallet, saving significant freight costs on international shipments. Available in corrugated fiber, solid fiberboard, and polyethylene plastic.

Common uses: Export shipping, lightweight loads, push-pull systems

Pallet Strapping & Wrap

$25 – $80 per roll/coil

Steel and poly strapping, stretch wrap, and banding tools. Keep loads secure during transit with professional-grade materials. We stock 1/2" and 3/4" poly strapping, steel strapping for heavy loads, hand-grade and machine-grade stretch wrap in 60–120 gauge, and corner seal kits. Poly strapping is our most popular option — it is lighter, safer, and cheaper than steel for most applications.

Common uses: Load securing, transit protection, warehouse organization

Dunnage & Dividers

$3 – $15 per set

Wood dunnage, foam padding, and corrugated dividers to separate and protect products within pallet loads. Custom-cut wood dunnage creates air gaps between layers for ventilation or protects fragile items from crushing. Corrugated dividers are available in standard cell configurations (4, 6, 8, 12 cells) or custom layouts matched to your product dimensions.

Common uses: Multi-product loads, fragile items, layered stacking

Pallet Markers & Tags

$1 – $12 per tag/label

Weather-resistant tags, RFID labels, and painted markings for pallet identification and tracking through your supply chain. Plastic tags survive outdoor exposure, washing, and rough handling. RFID tags enable automated inventory scanning and pallet pool management. We also offer custom stenciling and color-coded paint marking services for visual sorting.

Common uses: Inventory tracking, pallet pools, return logistics

Repair Kits

$35 – $75 per kit

DIY pallet repair kits with replacement boards, nails, and basic tools. Keep your pallets in rotation longer with quick on-site fixes. Each kit includes pre-cut replacement deck boards (matched to standard pallet dimensions), ring-shank nails, a pry bar for removing damaged boards, and illustrated repair instructions. One kit repairs approximately 10–15 pallets.

Common uses: On-site maintenance, remote facilities, cost reduction

How Accessories Extend Pallet Life

A bare pallet lasts an average of 5–7 trips. The right combination of accessories can double or triple that lifespan — saving you money on replacement pallets and reducing waste.

Pallet Collars: +40% Lifespan

Collars eliminate edge damage caused by strapping, forklift bumps, and stacking compression. By containing the load within a rigid perimeter, collars prevent the most common types of deck board damage. Pallets used with collars average 10–12 trips before needing repair, compared to 5–7 trips without.

Corner Protectors: -60% Strap Damage

Strapping cuts into wood pallet edges, weakening boards and creating splinter hazards. Corner protectors distribute strap tension across a wider surface area, reducing edge damage by approximately 60%. At $0.50–$4 per piece, protectors cost a fraction of replacing a damaged pallet.

Covers & Lids: +50% Outdoor Life

Tucson's intense UV radiation and monsoon rain are brutal on exposed pallets. Covers shield the top deck from sun bleaching, moisture absorption, and debris accumulation. Pallets stored outdoors with covers last 50% longer than uncovered pallets, based on our customer data from Southern Arizona operations.

The math: If a recycled pallet costs $7 and lasts 6 trips, your cost per trip is $1.17. Adding a $25 collar system increases total cost to $32 but extends life to 12+ trips — dropping your cost per trip to $2.67 for a fully enclosed, stackable container. That is cheaper than any comparable crate or bin system.
