![]() A pallet dismantler for disassembling a pallet having a plurality of deck board support interfaces, said dismantler comprising: The dismantler of claim 2 including a safety cover covering at least a portion of said at least one shearing assemblies.ġ3. ![]() The dismantler of claim 2, wherein said actuator selectively moves said shearing blades toward each other with a force of at least approximately 4,000 pounds.ġ2. The dismantler of claim 2, wherein said actuator selectively moves said shearing blades toward each other with a force of at least approximately 2,000 pounds.ġ1. ![]() The dismantler of claim 2, wherein said actuator comprises an electrical actuator.ġ0. The dismantler of claim 2, wherein said actuator comprises a hydraulic actuator.ĩ. The dismantler of claim 5, wherein said pallet support surface spaces an operator sufficiently from said at least one shearing assembly to limit operator contact with said shearing blades.Ĩ. The dismantler of claim 5 wherein said at least one shearing assembly is spaced above said support surface sufficiently to support a pallet from said at least one shearing assembly whereby said pair of shearing blades is self-aligning with a deck board support interface of a pallet.ħ. The dismantler of claim 2, including a pallet support surface below said at least one shearing assembly.Ħ. The dismantler of claim 3, wherein at least two of said at least three shearing assemblies are adjustably positioned with respect to others of said at least three shearing assemblies.ĥ. The dismantler of claim 2, wherein said at least one shearing assembly comprises at least three shearing assemblies.Ĥ. A pallet dismantler for disassembling a pallet having a plurality of deck board support interfaces, said dismantler comprising:Īt least one shearing assembly comprising a pair of arms having first and second opposite end portions, and a pair of shearing blades, each blade mounted at said first end portion of one of said arms, wherein each of said pair of arms is pivotally mounted at a pivot assembly, said pivot assembly positioned between said first and second end portions, said shearing assembly is adapted to selectively position said shearing blades at substantially any one of the deck board support interfaces of a pallet including straddling any other deck board support interface between the one of the deck board support interfaces and said pivot and said at least one shearing assembly including an actuator, said actuator selectively applying a force moving said second end portions of said pair of arms apart to rotate said pair of arms about said pivot assembly to selectively move said shearing blades toward each other with a force sufficient to shear fasteners at a deck board support interface of a pallet.ģ. Providing at least one cutting device that is positionable at any one of the deck board support interfaces, said at least one cutting device comprising a pair of arms having first and second opposite end portions and a pair of shearing blades each blade mounted at said first end portion of one of said arms, wherein each of said pair of arms is rotably mounted selectively positioning said at least one cutting device adjacent a particular deck board support interface of the pallet and cutting fasteners at the particular deck board support interface with said at least one cutting device without the necessity of cutting fasteners at other deck board support interfaces in the row and the column in which the particular deck board support interface is located, said cutting including selectively moving said shearing blades toward each other including rotating said pair of arms, said rotating including applying a force moving said second end portions of said pair of arms apart.Ģ. A method of at least partially disassembling a pallet, the pallet having a plurality of deck board support interfaces, said deck board support interfaces arranged in rows and columns with at least three deck board support interfaces in each row and each column, said method comprising:
