Abstract

A system and method for inspecting pallets verifies a pallet meets dimensional and structural integrity requirements for transporting a load. The method and automated system verify that a pallet is within tolerances for dimensions, the load-bearing surface of the pallet is free from large voids or damage, and that the pallet is able to withstand stress associated with a load and with transport. Pallets are rejected when one or more defects are found in the pallet as determined by signals from various inspection stations generated in response to performance of structural tests on the pallet.
