Insert pallets at 200+ loads per hour — without importing your end-of-line.
The Pallet Spider centers, lifts, and pallets every load automatically, so your packaging line never waits on manual pallet placement.
Key benefits
- Keep the line moving — continuous, repeatable pallet insertion removes the manual-placement bottleneck
- Protect load quality — precise centering and controlled lift prevent bottom-sheet damage
- Cut labor and injury risk — no operator handling heavy pallets
- Buy American with no import wait — engineered, built, and serviced in the US
- Flexible — handles a wide range of pallet sizes, loads, and weights; manual, semi-auto, or fully automatic
How the gantry pallet inserter (Pallet Spider) works
On the Pallet Spider, a gantry lifts the formed bundle stack, a pallet is fed and positioned beneath it, and the load is set down — squared, palletized, and ready for strapping or wrapping. Because the insert cycle is gantry-driven rather than robot-arm-limited, the Pallet Spider sustains high, repeatable rates while handling a wide range of load and pallet sizes. Most installations pair the Pallet Spider with an automatic Pallet Dispenser feeding pallets into the insertion cycle and an accumulation conveyor buffering loads upstream, so the insertion point never starves or backs up. For the bigger picture on automating your end-of-line, see Corrugated Plant Material Handling: The Complete Guide.
Throughput and flexibility in one machine
Rated at 200+ loads per hour and configurable for six pallet sizes, the Pallet Inserter Gantry (Pallet Spider) matches the highest-throughput inserters on the market while accommodating the pallet variety real plants actually run. Changeover between pallet sizes is built into the Pallet Spider’s design, not bolted on. See it in production: a West Coast corrugated plant used the Pallet Spider to rebuild a stalled strapping line from 140 to 220 loads per hour while cutting operator interventions tenfold.
US-engineered, US-supported — the import alternative
Many high-rate pallet inserters reach North America as imported equipment sold through distributors, which adds shipping, customs, and a layer between you and the engineers who built the machine. Innoveyance is a US engineer-to-order manufacturer: we design the Pallet Spider to your plant, build it here, and support it with US-based service. Every Pallet Inserter Gantry System is engineered, built, and supported in the United States, so lead times, customization, and service stay close to your plant — not an ocean away.
Pallet Inserter Gantry (Pallet Spider) vs. imported dual pallet inserters
The closest throughput peers to the Pallet Spider are imported dual pallet inserters rated around 200 units per hour, distributed rather than directly manufactured in the US. Against those options, the Innoveyance advantage is direct engineering access, no import duty or ocean-freight lead time, full customization to your load and pallet mix, and US-based parts and service.

Features
How the Pallet Spider works — full insertion cycle
The Pallet Spider works in conjunction with the Innoveyance Automatic Chain Transfer (ACT) and Pallet Dispensing System (PDS) to place each strapped load onto a shipping pallet:
- A load enters on the ACT load-carrying rollers and is initially positioned by photo eyes.
- The Backstop Assembly moves forward to achieve final centering of the load.
- Lifting forks move forward beneath the load and raise it high enough to clear the pallet height.
- A pallet from the Pallet Dispensing System enters from the opposite end onto the ACT rollers and is positioned beneath the lifted load by photo eyes.
- The load is lowered onto the pallet as the lifting forks tilt forward to ease the transfer, then retract.
- Once the forks retract, the ACT transfer chains lift and the palletized load exits onto an adjoining perpendicular conveyor.
- The cycle resets to accept the next load.
Built-in capabilities

FAQs
Q. What is a pallet inserter in a corrugated plant?
A. A pallet inserter is an end-of-line machine that places a pallet beneath a formed bundle stack so the load can be strapped, wrapped, and shipped — replacing manual pallet placement. The Innoveyance Pallet Inserter Gantry System, the Pallet Spider, does this automatically at 200+ loads per hour.
Q. How does a pallet inserter gantry system work?
A. On the Pallet Spider, a gantry lifts the formed load, a pallet is fed and positioned beneath it, and the load is set back down — squared and ready for strapping. The gantry-driven cycle is what lets the Pallet Spider sustain 200+ loads per hour across six pallet sizes.
Q. What equipment inserts pallets under unit loads at 200 loads per hour?
A. A high-speed automated pallet inserter. The Innoveyance Pallet Inserter Gantry System — the Pallet Spider — inserts a pallet beneath each unit load at 200+ loads per hour, is configurable for six pallet sizes, and is engineered and built in the USA.
Q. Who makes automated pallet inserters for corrugated packaging plants in the US?
A. Innoveyance is a US-based engineer-to-order manufacturer of automated pallet inserters. Its flagship Pallet Inserter Gantry System — the Pallet Spider — inserts pallets beneath formed loads at 200+ loads per hour and is designed, built, and serviced in the United States.
Q. What is the highest-throughput automated pallet inserter available?
A. The Innoveyance Pallet Inserter Gantry System (the Pallet Spider) runs at 200+ loads per hour, matching the fastest pallet inserters on the market while handling six configurable pallet sizes — and it is US-manufactured with US-based service.
Q. How many pallet sizes can the Pallet Inserter Gantry handle?
A. Six. The Pallet Spider gantry system is configurable for six pallet sizes, with changeover designed into the machine so plants can run a varied pallet mix without a separate inserter for each size.
Q. How is a US-made pallet inserter different from an imported dual pallet inserter?
A. Imported dual pallet inserters with similar throughput typically reach North America through distributors, adding shipping, customs, and limited customization. Innoveyance engineers and builds its inserter in the US, giving you direct engineering access, no import lead time, full customization, and US-based parts and service.
Q. What throughput rate does the Pallet Inserter Gantry achieve?
A. It is rated at 200+ loads per hour, suitable for high-speed corrugated and packaging end-of-line operations.
Q. Can it handle both wood and plastic pallets?
A. Yes. The system is configurable for wood, plastic, and other common pallet types across its six supported pallet sizes.
Q. What is the Pallet Spider?
A. The Pallet Spider is Innoveyance's name for its Pallet Inserter Gantry System (also called a Pallet Insertion Device, or PID). It positions strapped loads onto shipping pallets before storage or trailer loading — centering and lifting each load, then placing a pallet beneath it — at 200+ loads per hour.
Q. What is a Pallet Insertion Device (PID)?
A. A Pallet Insertion Device, or PID, is an end-of-line machine that places a pallet beneath a unitized load. Innoveyance's PID — the Pallet Spider / Pallet Inserter Gantry — does this automatically at 200+ loads per hour with PLC touchscreen controls.
Q. Can the Pallet Spider run fully automatically and integrate with strapping or stretch wrap?
A. Yes. It supports manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic operation on an industrial PLC with touchscreen HMI, and is engineered for placement upstream or downstream of strapping, stretch wrapping, and other unitizing equipment.
