Recently the need of wood for the manufacture of Wood Pallet increasing sharply in Indonesia, this is likely due to the increasing amount of goods exported from Indonesia to foreign countries. However, not closed the possibility of export sales Pallet wood itself to abroad. Concentration of timber sales in the village toward the leading pallet materials compared with others.

Wood pallets are usually used in the packaging industry to produce goods in order ro make easy in the process of transportation, both within the factory environment, in the process trasnport on the container, and also during loading and unloading. Goods produced a large size are usually placed on wooden pallets (or propped up with wooden pallets); for example: machinery, machine parts, steel plate, parts of the construction, or parts of the installation process, etc.

Usually each wooden pallet will have specifications and standardization; if in Indonesia using the SNI (Indonesian National Standard), and for the international use of the ISO Standard. In this article I will provide information that I managed to visit a wood processing plant for the manufacture of raw materials for wood pallet.

Wood processing industry was gathering wood logs from the people and bought using cubic meter size or estimated at the time would be cut down. Types of logs are usually accepted Albasia wood (Albizia falcataria) or Mahogany (Mahagoni, Meliaceae). Received logs are usually smaller size diameters ranging from 10 cm up to large sizes.

The condition becomes livelihoods that promise to the people of Indonesia in the villages because they are usually planted trees Albasia or Mahogany wood and then wait two to three years can already cleared for sale and used as material for wooden pallets. And apparently it also has a long chain starting from growers, loggers, processors, vendors, transport workers, transport, until a wooden pallet manufacturer premises. Ordinary wooden pallet manufacturer located in big cities, san memenrima timber shipments from the rural village of pallet material. So it becomes great livelihoods..
