Woodpecker Junior Pallet Nailing Machines


Woodpecker Junior Standard
Made in Ohio, Woodpecker Junior Nailing Machines are high-production pallet nailing machines that have been recognized as some of the best in the pallet industry for over 20 years. Manufactured by Stutzman Manufacturing, each machine is hand-crafted by our dedicated team of builders.
Every machine is built to order and includes our latest features and benefits. We continually strive for improvement, listening to our customers to ensure we create machines that are better than before.
The Woodpecker Junior is a highly efficient, single-operator pallet nailing machine. Many of our customers produce 500 or more pallets per shift with the Woodpecker Junior, especially when using the optional pallet stacker and rollout conveyor.
This machine is an excellent choice for manufacturers producing 48″ x 40″ pallets and larger. The Junior is often used to build combo pallets (using new runners and reclaimed deck boards) as well as new softwood and hardwood pallets.
