Pallet range

Euro-size pallets — 1200 x 800 mm

Pallets in the 1200 x 800 mm footprint. This is a dimension, not an EPAL-licensed pallet, and we do not present it as one.

The 1200 x 800 mm footprint is the standard across much of continental Europe and appears constantly in UK ports because of inbound short-sea and deep-sea traffic. It is narrower than the UK footprint, which changes trailer loading patterns and racking utilisation.

An important distinction, and one this site takes seriously: a pallet measuring 1200 x 800 mm is not automatically an EPAL pallet. EPAL is a licensed exchange system with its own manufacturing, marking, repair and inspection requirements administered by the European Pallet Association. A pallet is only an EPAL pallet if it was made or repaired under that licence and marked accordingly.

We supply the 1200 x 800 footprint as a dimension. If your operation genuinely requires licensed exchange-pool pallets, that is a different requirement and should be stated explicitly in your enquiry so it can be assessed properly rather than assumed.

Typical uses

  • Cargo continuing into or arriving from continental Europe
  • Racking and handling systems designed around the 800 mm depth
  • Operations standardised on the narrower footprint for trailer utilisation
  • Short-sea and RoRo trailer freight

Before you order

  • State clearly whether you need the footprint or the licensed pool pallet. They are different products with different sourcing routes.
  • Movements into the EU raise destination wood packaging requirements that must be checked per consignment.
  • Mixing 1200 x 800 and 1200 x 1000 in one trailer wastes floor space and complicates load restraint.

What we do not claim about this range

  • We do not describe 1200 x 800 pallets as EPAL pallets, and we make no claim to be an EPAL licensee.
  • We do not claim any pallet is eligible for exchange in a pooled system.
  • We do not publish load ratings.

Your details

We need your name, a line about what you need, a rough quantity, a postcode, and one way to reach you — email or phone, not both. Everything else is optional, and UNKNOWN is always an acceptable answer.

Give us an email address or a phone number — whichever you prefer. You do not need both.

Where the pallets are going or being collected from. Put UNKNOWN if you do not know it yet.

What you need

A rough description is enough. We will come back to you with the questions that matter.

Plain words are fine — “about 200”, “a lorry load”, “two pallets a week” or UNKNOWN all work.
