Pneu-Fast® pallet nails are manufactured in the United States of high-quality American steel and offer top quality, making them an excellent choice for those in the pallet industry as well as other wood products’ manufacturers. Here are some other advantages to using Pneu-Fast nails.
Consistency
In business for more than 40 years, Pneu-Fast has used technical innovation to refine its nail design and manufacturing techniques for a high degree of product consistency.
Before making pallet nails, the company owned and operated a pallet manufacturing company, but the owners were not happy with the nails that were available to them from conventional resources. That’s why they decided to design and manufacture their own pallet nails, incorporating the experience and knowledge they had from manufacturing premium construction nails for buildings and houses, which they were already producing since the 1970s.
What nail consistency does for pallet manufacturers is reduce jams in nailing machines and nailers, according to general manager Reno Joseph. “You are going to have fewer online manufacturing problems. You’re not going to jam up the machine—fewer jams and less downtime. This is probably the main benefit for pallet manufacturers.”
Strength & Holding Power
“Our nails are made of highest quality American steel so they have more tensile strength which means they drive better without bending. They also have greater lateral shear strength because they’re made to full gauge for greater driving force. They won’t break as easily, and they have more holding power so when a nail goes into the wood, it stays there,” said Joseph.
For pallet manufacturers, this extra strength and durability means the pallets they produce with Pneu-Fast nails will be more rigid and durable. “This has benefits not only to the pallet manufacturer himself but to the end user of the pallet as well,” according to Joseph.
Competitive Prices
Even though their products are produced in the United States to the highest quality standards with top-grade American steel, Pneu-Fast still keeps its prices low in comparison with competitors’ nails, many of which are imported from other countries and made with lower-grade steel and inferior nail-to-nail consistency, according to Joseph.
Pneu-Fast also offers consistent, standardized pricing, regardless of nail length or finish. “We don’t charge any more, regardless of your choice of nails. Longer nails are the same price as shorter nails, and screw shank nails are the same price as ring shank nails,” Joseph said.
