The Pallet Saver from Broce Manufacturing is a rugged yet elegantly simple forklift attachment that significantly reduces pallet damage, extends pallet life, and lowers pallet repair and replacement costs in manufacturing, warehousing, and other material handling environments.

An estimated 500 million pallets are discarded in the United States every year, many due to preventable impact damage from routine forklift handling. The Pallet Saver dramatically reduces impact forces during pallet engagement, resulting in a corresponding reduction in pallet damage. A replaceable rubber impact pad on the Pallet Saver aligns with a pallet’s center strut to absorb and redistribute impact forces from weaker deck boards to the pallet’s stronger center structure—helping prevent breakage and structural failure.

Constructed from ½” heavy-duty welded steel, the Pallet Saver is made in the USA and constructed for long-term durability. It mounts easily to ITA Class II or Class III carriages and remains securely in place during normal operation, requiring no change in operator behavior.

Four models are available in single- or double-pad configurations.

In addition to direct cost savings, reducing pallet breakage also improves workplace safety by minimizing trip hazards from loose boards and debris and reducing downtime caused by manually transferring loads from damaged pallets.

“Pallet damage is one of those hidden costs that adds up quickly,” said Broce spokesperson Nate Vance. “With the Pallet Saver, companies can take a simple, proactive step to protect their pallets, reduce waste, and improve overall efficiency.”
