An apparatus for forming monolithic compressed wood pallets with increased load capacity, of the type that comprises a loading surface and at least two underlying resting stringers formed integrally in a monolithic body that is obtained by forming a mixture based on loose wood material and adhesive materials, comprising: - storage means comprising a chamber for the collection of said mixture inside which a first conveyor belt is accommodated for feeding a substantially uniform layer of said mixture toward an outlet, the first belt being wound around at least one first motorized roller and configured to be entrained by said roller with a feed speed (V 1); - pressing means, which are provided with a lower mold part and with an upper mold part between which a receptacle for forming a pallet is provided and which are alternately movable between a spaced loading configuration and a closer pressing configuration, - a second conveyor belt interposed between said storage means and said pressing means, which is wound around at least one second motorized roller configured to drive it with an advancement speed (V 2) and is associated with translation means for actuation with an alternating translational motion in a substantially horizontal direction with a translation speed (V 3), the upper portion of the second belt being substantially horizontal and configured for translating with a transfer speed (V 4) obtained from the combination of the advancement speed (V 2) and of the translation speed (V 3), during loading the second belt being arranged below the outlet so as to obtain the deposition on the upper portion of a mat of said mixture and during unloading the second belt being interposed between said mold parts (107, 108) in a spaced configuration for the transfer of the mat within the lower mold part, means for modulating at least one among said feed speed (V 1), said advancement speed (V 2) and said translation speed (V 3) so as to obtain an adjustment of the quantity of mixture loaded/unloaded on/from the upper portion of said second belt along the extension of said mat. - storage means comprising a chamber for the collection of said mixture inside which a first conveyor belt is accommodated for feeding a substantially uniform layer of said mixture toward an outlet, the first belt being wound around at least one first motorized roller and configured to be entrained by said roller with a feed speed (V 1); - pressing means, which are provided with a lower mold part and with an upper mold part between which a receptacle for forming a pallet is provided and which are alternately movable between a spaced loading configuration and a closer pressing configuration, - a second conveyor belt interposed between said storage means and said pressing means, which is wound around at least one second motorized roller configured to drive it with an advancement speed (V 2) and is associated with translation means for actuation with an alternating translational motion in a substantially horizontal direction with a translation speed (V 3), the upper portion of the second belt being substantially horizontal and configured for translating with a transfer speed (V 4) obtained from the combination of the advancement speed (V 2) and of the translation speed (V 3),
