Palletframe Auto

The lead-in funnel: how the pallet stack straightener works

Palletframe Auto is a free-standing steel frame for stacks of empty pallets. The forklift driver picks up a crooked stack of empty pallets, drives it into the frame and pushes it in with the forklift. That presses the stack straight. At the entry side, Palletframe Auto has a deeper lead-in funnel: the funnel centres the pallets as they go in and are pushed in. The driver can then take the stack out and deliver it where it is needed, or leave it standing if this is the parking place for these pallets.

Palletframe Auto is also called a pallet stack straightener or pallet aligner. Those names describe what happens: in the frame, the stack is pressed straight. Palletframe Basic does that too, but the Auto does it with a better result thanks to the deeper lead-in funnel.

It is not a machine, and it is not an empty pallet stacker either. What is sold as an empty pallet stacker is really a pallet dispenser: the operator takes a pallet out or puts one back. Palletframe Auto is a steel frame without any drive, in which you press a stack of pallets straight with a forklift. When to choose which is explained in Pallet straightener or empty pallet stacker.

Palletframe Auto is also meant only for empty pallets. It is not racking, and it is not something you put on a pallet: no goods go in it and the frame is not meant for loaded pallets.

Models and sizes

Palletframe Auto comes in three standard models. The number in the model code is the pallet width in millimetres. All three models are 2,350 mm high. On each model page you will find the specifications and a usage drawing that shows how to place the stack in the frame.

• Palletframe Auto A800: for a pallet width of 800 mm
• Palletframe Auto A1000: for a pallet width of 1,000 mm
• Palletframe Auto A1200: for a pallet width of 1,200 mm
• Palletframe Auto made to measure: pallet width and height on request

To find the right pallet width for your pallets, see Pallet sizes. If your pallets are a different size, or you need another height, choose Palletframe Auto made to measure. We agree the exact sizes with you.

Finish and colour

Palletframe Auto is blue as standard. As an option, every model is available in another colour or galvanised. That also applies to Palletframe Auto made to measure.

Auto or Basic?

In both Palletframe Auto and Palletframe Basic, you press a stack of empty pallets straight with a forklift. Both are made for a pallet width of 800, 1,000 or 1,200 mm and are 2,350 mm high. The difference is the deeper lead-in funnel of Palletframe Auto, which makes the stack straighter. Palletframe Basic is the standard model.
