How can I organize the pallets in my warehouse?
Q. Pallets come in random size and quantity. Block stacking is used in the storage of pallets. Pallets are placed randomly on open warehouse spaces causing inefficiency.

Is it a good idea to build decking on top of pallets?
Q. I want to put decking on my well drained 14 m2 enclosed patio. 4x2 joists would cost a fortune, so do you think it would be a good idea to use pallets as a base?
Asked by Lewisthelab - Sun Mar 11 15:33:26 2007 - - 14 Answers - 0 Comments
A. If you have ever tried to dismantle a pallet you will know how well the are made, if you get pallets in good condition, and you can get amost new pallets quite cheap there is no reason why they can't be be used under decking but you MUST make sure the are based on a damp prevetion barrier, the best way to achieve this is to put bricks under the pallets and ordniary roof slates between the pallets and the bricks, roof slates are one of the best damp proof barriers there is, make sure that no part of the pallets are in contact with the ground, or will be in the future, and as a precaution treat the wood with a good preservative. They might not last forever but the will last a very long time.

How and to whom do I sell used wooden pallets?
Q. I work at a dental supply company and we get 2 to 4 pallets a week and we were looking for someone to buy them from us every once in a while when we get enough to make it worth while.
Asked by Jennifer - Thu Sep 17 12:37:38 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You may want to try contacting some of your local Trucking or shipping companies in your area. From past experiences though, I can tell you, If your pallets are of the softwood (pine ) Varieties, they are pretty much worthless. If they are made from hard wood, they may be worth a few dollars a piece. My company also had a bunch of the softwood pallets and we finally had to run a add in the newspaper for free firewood, we now have a couple of guys that keep them cleaned up, otherwise we would of had to pay to have them hauled away.

A. Data on the RFID tag can be added during creation (e.g. its ID number) or during shipment (e.g. a sensor aRFID tag). The minimum hardware you will need are tags and readers. You will then need software to understand the tags the reader is reading and software to make information out of this data. Tagging is done based upon necessity. How important is an item? How frequently is a crate split? Generally use barcodes on small items, passive RFID (pRFID) on a case, active RFID (aRFID) on a pallet, and GPS on a shipment.
