The use of wooden pallets is widespread and is mainly made in the four models described below. Although the 800 x 1200 mm pallet is the most commonly used wood pallet size, there are other sizes including 1000 x 1200 mm and 1200 x 1200 mm pallets. Depending on the type of cargo, pallets of 600 x 800 mm are also common, especially in the sector where consumer goods are distributed, and are called half pallets because they are half the size of the Euro pallet. In terms of weight, one euro-pallet weighs about 25 kg and can withstand loads of up to 1.5 tons.

There are many advantages to using these pallets. They are ideal for any warehouse system, automatic and high stack warehouses and trucks. They can be operated without restriction by a forklift or other loading equipment. In addition, the dimensions of the standard euro-pallet (800 x 1200 mm) include many standard-sized plastic and paper boxes, which facilitates the grouping of goods and products.

Cheap price: Due to the ease of production, a more affordable price

Environmentally friendly: 100% reusable or recyclable material

Practical: can be handled from all four sides using a forklift or a pallet truck

Simple repair and maintenance: can be easily repaired compared to metal and plastic pallet types.

Better friction than other materials: One of the most noticeable advantages associated with wooden pallets is high friction on almost all surfaces. This type of friction helps keep these pallets in place without slipping on the goods during transport.

Ease of exchange: they are easy to exchange due to the wide turnover because the freight forwarder or the carrier delivers the loaded goods on pallets and in turn, takes back the same number of empty pallets.
