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.

Notched stringers are the gateway to four-way American pallets. Producing them in-house with the SF7013 controls cost, quality and supply — and the indexable cutter system keeps running costs low.
