European pallets demand uniform stapling patterns and secure board attachment. Shengong’s automatic stapler for European pallet applies heavy-duty staples at high speed, offering an alternative to nailers for thinner deck boards. We analyze staple vs. nail holding strength, operational costs, maintenance requirements, and line integration. The stapler’s lower impact energy reduces fiber splitting in certain wood species, while automated reload systems ensure continuous operation. Decision factors for pallet manufacturers include material types, production volume, and desired cycle times.
