What are European Pallets
Euro pallets are the standard pallet used in various high rack systems, trucks, and warehouses all around Europe. Also, companies exporting their goods to the continent usually pack their products on EPAL Euro pallets.
These are so popular in Europe because of their strength, reliability, the possibility to be used multiple times, and convenient dimensions. They feature a box on top, which is constructed to hold products in place.
All Euro pallets contain the EUR logo, which shows that they’re the official pallet. But sometimes you can find them with other abbreviations such as DB and EPAL.
Although sometimes, there are fake pallets that contain the EUR logo without the surrounding ring. They can easily be recognized because the thickness of their wooden planks measures 1 cm instead of 2 cm.
What are the dimensions of a Euro Pallet?
A Euro pallet measures 1200mm by 800mm by 144mm. It’s important for people who plan to export goods to Europe to take note of this measurement, so they can avoid overloading or underloading the pallet business. The common EUR–pallet dimensions include:
