Pallet range

UK standard pallets — 1200 x 1000 mm

The footprint most widely used in UK domestic distribution, in new and used timber to an agreed specification.

The 1200 x 1000 mm footprint is the workhorse of UK domestic distribution. It is the size most British warehouse racking, trailer floor planning and retail intake systems assume, which is why imported cargo arriving on other footprints is so often repalletised onto it at devanning.

For port-side operators, that repalletising step is the whole point. A container stripped at a devanning yard near Felixstowe, Southampton or Liverpool frequently arrives loose-loaded or on a non-UK footprint, and has to leave on something the receiving network can handle.

The footprint describes plan dimensions only. Board thickness, bearer count, deck coverage, entry type and overall height still have to be specified against the actual application.

Typical uses

  • UK domestic distribution and retail intake
  • Repalletising imported cargo at devanning
  • Standard UK warehouse racking
  • Trailer loading planned around UK floor dimensions

Before you order

  • Confirm the receiving racking beam type and trailer floor plan before fixing a specification — the footprint alone does not settle it.
  • 1200 x 1000 is a size, not a certification. If a pallet in this size leaves the UK in wood form, destination treatment requirements still apply and must be checked.
  • Available in both new and used timber, with different consistency and lead time implications for each.

What we do not claim about this range

  • We do not describe this size as an equivalent to, or a substitute for, any pooled or licensed pallet system.
  • We do not publish load ratings for this or any other footprint.

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.

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.
