Notches are what turn a two-way stringer pallet into a true four-way-entry pallet — the format North American and global logistics chains demand.

• ENABLE FOUR-WAY ENTRY: Cut the notches that let forklifts enter from all four sides — essential for GMA 48"×40" and American-style stringer pallets.
• ENTRY POINT INTO IN-HOUSE NOTCHING: SF7011 is the lowest-cost way into the HICAS notching family — start producing notched stringers in-house today and upgrade to higher-output models as you grow.

​

1.SIEMENS PLC AT ENTRY PRICE: Premium Siemens PLC control architecture, normally found on higher-end machines — at the entry price point of the notching range.

2.INDEXABLE ALLOY CUTTERS: 4 round + 4 flat side cutters and 14 middle cutters, all indexable — rotate to a fresh edge instead of replacing, lower running cost. Heads available from us or locally..

3.228.6 mm (9") NOTCH WIDTH (CUSTOMIZABLE TO 300 mm): Adjust cutter quantity to set notch width up to 228.6 mm — matching the American GMA stringer standard, with customization to 300 mm if needed.

4.COMPACT, ONE-OPERATOR: 675 kg machine in a 2.4 × 1.1 × 1.2 m footprint — fits any pallet workshop, runs with a single operator.

5.26 COUNTRIES OF DELIVERY: Field-proven notching technology — the same indexable cutter system used on SF7013 and SF7013S, at single-head scale.

6.COMPATIBLE WITH 380V & 415V: Dual-voltage compatibility (380V / 415V, 50Hz) — fits most European, Asian and Australian power grids without reconfiguration.

Choose SF7011 to enter in-house notching at the lowest cost; choose SF7013 for double-head standard-volume notching; choose SF7013S for high-volume production with Siemens PLC, automatic feeding and the highest throughput. All three share the same indexable cutter design, so cutter heads are interchangeable across your fleet as you grow.

For small and mid-sized pallet producers, buying notched stringers from external suppliers eats margin and risks supply gaps. SF7011 lets you notch in-house at entry-grade investment — with the same Siemens PLC and indexable cutter quality as the larger SF7013 family.

What this means for you:

• Notch in-house at entry scale — start small, win GMA pallet contracts
• Same Siemens PLC + indexable cutters as the SF7013 family — premium quality
• 1 operator, 675 kg compact machine — fits any pallet workshop
• Cutter heads interchangeable as you upgrade to SF7013 / SF7013S

Q1: What does the SF7011 do?

A: It notches solid wood stringers for American GMA four-way-entry pallets — single-head, with a Siemens PLC.

Q2: How fast is it?

A: 500-600 stringers per hour, with one operator — production output for small and mid-sized pallet lines.

Q3: What notch width and depth can it produce?

A: Notch width up to 228.6 mm (9", American GMA standard, customizable to 300 mm); notch depth up to 60 mm.

Q4: What wood sizes does it handle?

A: Wood length 600-1,350 mm, thickness up to 150 mm.

Q5: What are indexable cutters?

A: Alloy cutter heads with multiple cutting edges per head — when one edge dulls, rotate to the next instead of replacing the cutter. Cutter heads are interchangeable across SF7011, SF7013 and SF7013S.

Q6: What control system does it use?

A: Siemens PLC with operator control buttons — premium control architecture at the entry price point.

Q7: What voltage does it use?

A: Standard 380V / 415V, 50Hz, 3-phase — fits most European, Asian and Australian power grids without reconfiguration.

Q8: How is SF7011 different from SF7013 / SF7013S?

A: SF7011 is the single-head entry version (500-600 pcs/h); SF7013 is the double-head standard version (1,200-1,800 pcs/h, control panel); SF7013S is the high-productivity version (3,000-3,600 pcs/h, Siemens PLC + automatic feeding). Cutter heads are interchangeable across all three.

Q9: What payment terms do you accept?

A: 30% T/T deposit, LC at sight, and SINOSURE export credit insurance.
