Pallet Rework & Restacking
Leaning loads, floor-loaded containers, pallets that won't pass a retailer's dock — we restack, re-wrap and relabel them in Kent so the freight gets accepted, not turned away.
A rejected load is expensive in ways that don't show up on the freight bill — a wasted delivery appointment, a return trip, a chargeback from the retailer. Most of the time the freight is fine; the pallets just aren't. We fix that. Whether it's a container that came in floor-loaded, a load that shifted in transit, or pallets that don't meet a big-box or Amazon spec, we rework them on our dock in Kent and send them back out ready to be received.
What pallet rework covers
Leaning, overheight or shifted pallets rebuilt to a stable, square stack that passes inspection.
Containers shipped floor-loaded, unloaded and built onto pallets — ready for racking or a dock.
Reworked to big-box and Amazon specs — pallet height, overhang, ti-hi count and label placement.
Fresh shrink-wrap, banding and corner board so the load survives the next leg.
New carton or pallet labels, and re-sorting mixed freight by SKU, store or destination.
Damaged outers pulled, counts verified, and a clear report back on what we found.
The cheapest place to fix a pallet is before it ever leaves for the receiver. Because we pull the container ourselves and rework it on the same dock, there's no extra drayage to a third-party rework yard and no second handling charge stacked on top. A box comes off the Seattle or Tacoma terminal, we strip it, rebuild the pallets to spec, and it ships out — or goes straight into storage — without bouncing between vendors. It's the same dock and crew that handle our transloading, so rework is just part of the move, not a separate project.
Pallet rework is rebuilding or correcting palletized freight — restacking, re-palletizing, re-wrapping, relabeling or re-sorting — so it meets the receiver's requirements and won't be rejected at the dock.
Restacking is one part of rework — rebuilding the stack itself. Rework is the broader job: restacking plus re-wrapping, relabeling, re-sorting, and fixing whatever kept the load from being compliant.
Yes — that's a common one. We unload the floor-loaded container, build the freight onto pallets to your spec, wrap and label it, and either ship it out or put it into storage.
We do — pallet height, no overhang, the right ti-hi, proper wrap and label placement for big-box receivers and Amazon FBA.
At our warehouse in Kent, central to the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma, so the container comes straight to us with no extra drayage.
