Woodpecker Junior Pallet Nailing Machines

Woodpecker Junior Standard

The Woodpecker Junior is a highly efficient, single-operator pallet nailing machine. Many of our customers produce 500 or more pallets per shift using the Woodpecker Junior with the optional pallet stacker and rollout conveyor.

The Junior is a great fit for manufacturers building 48″ x 40″, 24″ x 20″, and more. The Junior is often used to build combo pallets (new runners / reclaimed deck boards), or new soft and hardwood pallets. 

Standard Junior Nailing Machines are offered in these sizes:

  • 54” L x 56″ W
  • 54″ L x 72″ W
  • All machines include 4 runner clamps as standard.
  • Up to 6 runner clamps can be added on 72″ wide machines.
  • Electronic nail gun firing system includes 2 unique firing devices.
  • All machines can build top and bottom wing pallets, or top only wing pallets; change parts included.

Woodpecker Junior Right-Angle

The Right-Angle Stacker Junior is a great fit for those who don’t have room for the Standard Junior orientation or those who build single-face skids and are required to flip and nest the skids during the stacking process. 

Our optional flip and nest stacker option must be built with the right-angle stacker. It is easily set up, and it can be turned on and off to produce standard pallets and single-face skids with little changeover time. The flip feature is automatic and occurs every other skid. 

Right-angle machines can build the following sizes:

  • 54” L x 56″ W
  • All machines include 4 runner clamps as standard.
  • Up to 5 runner clamps can be added.
  • Electronic nail gun firing system includes 2 unique firing devices.
  • All machines can build top and bottom wing pallets, or top only wing pallets; change parts included.
