Pallet squeezer

Several pallet handling companies

Boxes are not always stacked perfectly on pallets, causing loads to become misaligned or exceed the permitted dimensions required for automated handling.

Out-of-tolerance pallets can lead to storage and transport issues. They reduce space efficiency, increase the risk of disruptions in automated systems, and complicate truck loading.

The Pallet Squeezer developed by Motus Handling automatically corrects the contour of loaded pallets before they proceed to storage, transport, or further automated processing.

The Pallet Squeezer is typically integrated into a complete logistics automation concept. Upstream contour checks determine whether a pallet can continue directly or should first pass through the squeezer.

Inside the machine, the pallet load is corrected in a controlled way. The system includes overcompensation to account for the natural spring-back of cardboard boxes after squeezing.

The machine is designed to handle different pallet formats and load heights, making it suitable for various food-industry and logistics applications.

Key functions include:

• contour measurement before squeezing
• automatic go/no-go decision for pallet correction
• controlled squeezing of pallet loads
• overcompensation for box spring-back
• compatibility with different pallet sizes and load heights
• integration into automated warehouse or truck-loading flows

The Pallet Squeezer ensures stable and reliable pallet profiles before storage or transport.

This reduces loading problems during truck transport, improves warehouse space utilization, and supports smoother automated pallet handling.

Because Motus Handling has supplied this machine multiple times, the concept has been continuously refined and improved based on real-world production experience.

Key benefits:

• Reliable pallet profiles
• Fewer loading and storage issues
• Better utilization of warehouse and loading space
• Fewer manual corrections
• Proven design, enhanced through multiple installations
