Browse through the photos of the Pallet Return Device, the only pallet stacker that can be customized to meet any need.

Features:

The pallet 'carriage' is designed to straighten each pallet that is loaded and tilts backwards for easy loading. The device is also designed to handle wood and plastic pallets simultaneously.
The PRD incorporates a shock absorbing device that allows the carriage to be safely tilted forward when ready to be unloaded.
Easy to operate hand and foot releases.
A raised receiving end that lifts the pallets off the carriage so that the carriage can be removed easily and reset.
End stops that keep the pallets in line and visible for the forklift drivers.
A set of springs that assists the operator by pulling the loaded device over the center of mass when the stack of pallets is ready to be unloaded. There is also a safety cord that prevents the spring from projecting in the rare event of a failure.
UHMW wear pads are used to prevent metal on metal contact of moving parts.
A recessed, bilingual safety label is easily viewed that explains the proper method to lift an empty pallet into the carriage.
There are no other manual pallet stackers like this on the market. This device is truly one of a kind.

Detailed View


The spring assists the operator by pulling the loaded device over the center of mass when the stack of pallets is ready to be unloaded. Note the spring safety cord that prevents the spring from projecting in the rare event of a failure.	This photo shows the front quick release assembly.	The raised receiving end of the device lifts the pallets off of the carriage so that the carriage can be removed easily and reset.	Safety retainer rails, with UHMW wear pads, prevent the PRD from lateral movement along the rails.	As the stack of pallets is lifted off the carriage, the end stop keeps them in line and visible for the forklift driver. Customized carriage bolts were made specifically for this device to reduce the amount of friction while retrieving the carriage after a load of pallets is dropped off at the receiving end.


Dual pallet return stop tabs allow the device to be used with wood or plastic pallets.	The rear quick release assembly while it is engaged with the carriage.	Cable retainer is slotted for quick and easy replacement of cables, should the need arise.


The first roller of the receiver is a solid wheel to withstand the impact of the pallets for longterm durability.	The foot release system keeps the carriage in place while it is being loaded. It includes an anti-slip patch for safety and is easily released by a touch of the foot.	Slots in the platform allow the device to be adjusted and customized to fit any rail system.


The ram air cylinder acts as an automatic shock absorber by slowly lowering the carriage when fully loaded. No Pneumatics are required.	The anti-wear bar allows the device to be used numerous times without costly repairs. This bar can easily be changed when worn.	A compact rear quick release assembly without the carriage. The carriage rests on bumpers and can be easily replaced if they become worn.


Comfortable, cushioned rubber twist grip operates both release latches in either direction.	Wear guide UHMW buttons allow the system to avoid metal on metal contact on the moving parts for quiet and efficient operation.	Recessed, bilingual safety label is easily viewed that explains the proper way to lift an empty pallet into the carriage.
