Folding and reuse
Pallet Collars: Inspecting Metal Hinges
Metal hinges are part of the folding collar arrangement and should be included in the pre-use inspection. Look for visible damage and any change that prevents the collar assembling as expected.

What to check
- Check each corner's visible condition
- Record loose or displaced hardware
- Identify collars needing further review
A practical example
A collar that folds can still have a damaged corner fitting. Treat folding movement and assembled condition as separate observations in the inspection record.
Your next step
Keep questionable components out of normal use until assessed through your workplace process. Ask about replacement collars using the footprint and quantity required.
Discuss your collar requirement
Send the footprint, collar height, quantity and delivery postcode. Include any pallet, lid or divider requirements.
