National Wooden Pallet and Container Association: LoadSync and FastenerSync free software tools

Association offers two free pallet design software systems Two free software tools, LoadSync and FastenerSync, enhance collaboration for pallet engineers and pallet users. The programs work with the industry-standard Pallet Design System software package widely used for pallet creation. With LoadSync, users can easily and completely define all pallet and unit load handling requirements, save the requirements to a data file, and e-mail the file to their pallet manufacturer. FastenerSync provides insight into how the fastener influences the strength of a pallet connection. Ideal for use by fastener manufacturers, the software aids in the design of a fastener, then allows its specifications to be saved and sent as a file to the pallet manufacturer.
