1 Safety:
Whether you are considering reusing a used pallet within your business or using a system pallet for continuous reuse, consider these key points in your decision to ensure the pallet is safe and meets the required tolerances.

No damaged stringers with large cracks or missing pieces from the ends – Pallets with stringer damage should not be considered structurally sound in any situation. These components form the main structure of the pallet and will not support product applications, or proper handling if severely damaged.
It is not weathered from the elements to a point of warping or weakness – Wood will oxidize over time exposed to the elements. Understanding the integrity of the pallet at this stage would be difficult for the average person. Do not consider reusing.
Has no visible protruding nails – exposed nail tips, and nail heads can cause product damage, and safety risks in the manual handling process.
