Abstract: An apparatus and method for removing an end board from a pallet are disclosed which use a surface for supporting a pallet, a plurality of arms pivotally secured to the surface, a restraining bar pivotally secured to the surface and a power source operatively connected to the arms and restraining bar for rotating the arms and restraining bar from a first position for receiving an end board of a pallet to a second position for prying the end board from the pallet. The surface will typically be a table, and the arms and restraining bar may be pivotally secured to the table by one or more sides that are pivotally secured to the table, so that the arms and restraining bar rotate about the same axis relative to the table. This axis of rotation of the arms and restraining bar may be disposed between front and rear ends of the table and above the table surface, so that the arms may extend substantially horizontally between the front end of the table and the axis.
