At the heart of pallet production lies the sawmill, where specialized resaws transform small, low-grade logs into high-yield components with remarkable efficiency.
Fortunately, today’s advanced resaw systems—designed for speed, accuracy, and minimal waste—enable sawyers to produce consistent deck boards and stringers whether operating solo or in high-volume environments.
With the right equipment, manufacturers can cut smarter, streamline labor, and extract maximum value from every log.
In the industry, OEMs offer specialized equipment tailored for pallet production, such as Cook’s Saw PR-6 Pallet Resaw. With a fully balanced blade drive package, this machine is designed to efficiently produce uniform pallet and fencing boards, featuring a 15hp electric motor, a 6-inch-wide feed capacity, and a variable frequency drive that allows feed speeds up to 100 feet per minute. Its bed tilt adjustment enables the cutting of beveled siding, and it accommodates 1, 1-1/4, and 1-1/2-inch blades. An optional powered board return system is available to facilitate one-person operation.
For higher production needs, other Pallet Resaws such as the GL-40 are capable of producing over 10,000 board feet per day. These machines are designed for high-volume operations, providing increased efficiency and output for pallet manufacturers.
Whether used in single-operator setups or full crew, advanced hydraulic sawmills and pallet resaws support streamlined operations, lessen manual workload, and deliver steady results.
