PLC Apache — Precision Built for Oversized Pallet Production

The PLC Apache is fully customizable and engineered for oversized pallet production. With automated board-size sensing, PLC controls, and individually shifting nail guns, it delivers exceptional accuracy and fast, consistent output.

A standard flipper handles traditional pallets, while the optional side flipper makes oversized pallet production easier and significantly reduces operator strain. The Apache’s advanced nail sensor removes manual adjustments, and the deluxe dual board stackers allow quick loading of multiple board sizes. Select your pallet dimensions, press one button, and let the machine do the rest.

PLC Apache — Precision Built for Oversized Pallet Production

The PLC Apache is engineered for operations that demand strength, accuracy, and versatility. Fully customizable to virtually any pallet size, it stands out as the ideal solution for manufacturers producing large or oversized pallets.

The Apache is loaded with advanced features designed to streamline production and boost consistency. Its automated board-size sensor ensures precise nail placement, while the integrated PLC controls give operators complete command over the assembly process. Individually shifting nail guns deliver exceptional accuracy, adapting automatically to the build—whether firing all guns or only the outer ones for dual outside stringers.

To reduce operator strain and improve workflow, the Apache includes a standard flipper for conventional pallets and an optional side flipper for oversized builds. The side flipper significantly reduces one of the biggest stress points in handling heavy, wide-format pallets.

Its innovative nail detection system removes the need for manual firing pen adjustments, making every setup quicker and more reliable. Each Apache also comes equipped with Pallet Chief’s deluxe dual board stackers, enabling easy loading of two different board sizes. Once the desired pallet dimensions are selected, the machine can begin the assembly cycle with a single button touch—simple, efficient, and production-ready.

Built for the toughest shop floors, the PLC Apache is the most rugged and durable machine Pallet Chief has ever produced. It’s not just a pallet machine—it’s a high-performance production partner designed to excel where others can’t.
