A wooden pallet is a flat, portable platform made of wood that’s used to transport, store, assemble, or pile up goods:
-
PurposePallets are used in supply chains to provide a stable frame for goods, allowing for safe loading and unloading, protection during transit, and storage. They also improve warehouse efficiency by making it easier to move stacked goods with tools like forklifts and pallet jacks.
-
SizesThe most common pallet size is the Euro pallet, which measures 800 x 1,200 mm. Other common sizes include 1,000 in x 1,200 mm and 1,200 x 1,200 mm. Pallets that measure 600 x 800 mm are also common and are known as half pallets because they are half the size of a Euro pallet.
-
MaterialsPallets can be made from a variety of woods, but the composition often depends on the country of origin. In the United States, the most common woods used for pallets are oak and pine.
