Palletizer Rental in Detroit & Southeast Michigan

Metro Detroit makes things — auto parts and aftermarket products above all, plus food and beverage, building products and consumer goods. Supplier plants ship cased parts in steady volume, and most of that volume is still palletized by hand. Dorna rents a cobot palletizer cell for $1,999/month with $0 upfront, installation, training and maintenance included, and serves Michigan plants with on-site installation and start-up.

Supplier plants ship cases all day — and stack them the hard way

Across Warren, Sterling Heights, Livonia, Romulus and Auburn Hills, Detroit's supplier base runs case-packed production: components, aftermarket parts, fluids and assemblies, alongside food and beverage and building-products plants. The work is steady, the cases are often heavy, and just-in-time schedules leave no slack for a short-staffed end of line.

Stacking dense cases shift after shift is exactly the work that drives injuries and turnover in supplier plants — and a missing palletizing position can idle a line feeding an OEM schedule. A cobot palletizer takes the lifting over at a constant pace, handling cases up to 20 kg (44 lb) to your patterns.

What the $1,999/month rental includes

One flat monthly payment puts a complete, working palletizing cell on your floor — not a bare robot dropped at your dock:

• A complete cobot palletizing cell — robot, lifting column, gripper and controls — sized to your master case and pallet pattern.
• Freight delivery to your facility, then on-site installation, start-up and recipe creation for your pallet patterns.
• Hands-on training for the operators and maintenance staff who will live with the cell.
• All maintenance included while you rent; if the cell needs service, that cost is ours.
• Optional safety guides or a cage, fitted when your plant's safety review prefers them.

Terms are straightforward: $1,999/month, $0 upfront, on a 12-month term, with installation, operator training and maintenance inside that one payment. If ownership is the goal, a rent-to-own structure is available — tell us and we will set the agreement up that way from the start. The cell itself is a collaborative robot, built to work safely alongside your people rather than behind a fence; that is the core of cobot palletizer rental, and it keeps the footprint small and the install fast.

How service works for Michigan plants

Dorna Automation Solutions is based in Scottsdale, Arizona, and Detroit is one of the metros we serve across the USA. Detroit's steady, heavy, schedule-driven case flow is the workload this cell was sized for. It starts with a virtual line walkthrough: you share your case dimensions and weights, line rate, photos of the end of your line and the floor space available, and we confirm the fit with your team on a call before anything is signed.

On your confirmation we prepare the cell and ship it — delivery to your site typically takes 3–4 weeks. Our founder attends on site for installation, start-up, operator training, and creating the recipes for your pallet patterns. Your team receives the delivery and provides a pallet jack or forklift to move the cell into place. After hand-over, maintenance stays included for the life of the rental, and you deal with the same team that installed the cell — not a ticket queue.
