The PalletMach wood pallet machine produces custom-size PV module pallets from waste

With the booming global PV industry, traditional extensive logistics—especially inefficient, high-loss pallet use—has become a key bottleneck for cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
This article analyzes core PV transportation pain points and highlights PalletMach’s wood pallet machine and high-performance PV module pallet solutions.

I. Core Challenges in PV Module Transportation

As high-value precision equipment, PV modules face four critical transportation challenges, underscoring the need for advanced PV module pallet solutions powered by a reliable wood pallet machine:

Fragile structure: Vibration-sensitive cells, fragile glass, and scratch-prone components make modules vulnerable to hidden damage, affecting performance and lifespan—traditional pallets offer insufficient protection.
Harsh transport environments: Most PV power stations are in remote areas with poor roads and multi-link transportation, increasing damage risks that standard pallets cannot mitigate.
High logistics costs: International logistics accounts for 14.7%-15.8% of module costs. Disposable non-standard wooden pallets double the costs, creating a heavy financial burden.
One-time consumables:after long-distance jolting transportation, they often get damaged due to collisions and cannot be reused, which in turn increases the single logistics cost.

II. PV Module Pallet Solution by Wood Pallet Machine: From Consumable to Asset

Traditional plywood pallets fall short in strength, durability and cost. PalletMach’s wood pallet machine produces PV module pallets with four core advantages, turning pallets into long-term assets:

Enhanced protection: One-step high-temperature molding and integrated ribs deliver superior impact, compression, and vibration resistance vs. nailed pallets, safeguarding fragile modules. The unique limit groove design at the edge of the pallet ensures that the goods will not shift during transportation, avoiding bumps or damage.

Lower the cost: Made from waste wood, the pallets are reusable and recyclable, breaking the high-cost cycle of disposable pallets.Recyclable waste wood and leftover materials are crushed by an efficient crusher to form wood chips. These chips are then mixed with glue through a mixing machine and thoroughly stirred with glue water. Finally, they are pressed into a single piece using a Compressed Pallet Machine under high temperature and high pressure

Flexible customization: Custom molds enable precise non-standard production, adapting to large and special-shaped PV modules.
Green sustainability: Full-life-cycle low-carbon design helps enterprises meet ESG goals and boost brand image.

III. Case Study: Efficient PV Logistics Driven by PalletMach

A manufacturer in Fujian Province has adopted the PalletMach wood pallet machine and plans to supply 210,000 PV module pallets to local photovoltaic enterprises within two years. Currently, they have achieved a production rate of 80-100 pallets per day, while ensuring safe delivery and cost control, they can also meet the demand for thousands of pallets each month. PalletMach’s wood pallet machine and PV module pallet offer comprehensive advantages, becoming a strategic tool for enterprises to cut costs and improve efficiency.
