Use of Pallets


Palletization is widely applied in some countries to increase cargo handling efficiency. When pallets are used, it is important to observe that:

  • There are two major types of pallets, "Europallet" and standard pallets. The size of the "Europallets" is 800mm x 1,200mm per piece while the size of standard pallets is 1,000mm x 1,200mm per piece.
  • A 20' container can hold eleven "Europallets" in one tier or nine to ten standard pallets in one tier
  • A 40' container can hold 23-24 "Europallets" in one tier or 20-21 standard pallets in one tier.
  • Wooden pallets must be strong enough to allow storage of three tiers when loaded.
  • Carton boxes must not overhang the edges of the pallets.
