Pallet Restacking and Freight Rework in NJ

Restacks, rework and shifted-load recovery
Shifted loads
Freight that moved in transit is taken down, squared onto sound pallets and re-secured so it survives the next leg.
Rejected and returned loads
A load the receiver would not take is inspected, rebuilt to a state they will accept, and turned around.
Damaged pallets
Broken or unusable pallets are swapped and the product is rebuilt onto standard 40” × 48” pallets.
Fix and wrap
Where the stack is sound but the product has drifted, it is realigned and re-wrapped at $45 per pallet instead of a full rebuild.
Wrap only
Stretch-wrapping alone, $25 per pallet, when that is genuinely all that is needed.
Overweight trailer rework
Weight redistributed across the trailer so the unit is road-legal before it goes back out.
After the rebuild
Freight that is staying takes a position in pallet storage in Carlstadt once it is sound: a leaning load is restacked before it is stored, not after. A shifted load that can only get here after 5 PM goes through the after-hours cross-dock, by appointment, with the surcharge on top of the restack rate. Once it is rebuilt, the freight can leave the way it came in, as a cross-dock transfer to an outbound truck.

Price depends on freight condition and labor, and complex or unstable loads are confirmed by a manager after inspection. After-hours fees are charged on the actual time the work is performed, not on when the driver arrived. The full rate card, including oversized pallet multipliers and the live calculator, is on the pricing page.
What we need to quote a restack or rework
A warehouse cannot price freight it cannot see. Send these and you get a real number instead of a range.
- Photos of the load as it stands — this is the one that matters most
- Pallet count, and how many are actually damaged
- What the product is, and roughly what it weighs
- Whether pallets need replacing or only rebuilding
- Whether the freight goes straight back out or needs to sit
- When the driver or trailer is arriving
