Wooden pallet lifespan: how long pallets actually last in industrial logistics, the factors that decide it, and how to extend useful service life by 60-80 percent with operational discipline.

The real ROI of pallet automation: CNC nailing (€210-260K, varied formats) vs high-volume automated loading. Throughput gains around 20%, payback near 3 years, and the labour-cost reality vendors do not quote.
