What are Pallets?

A pallet, also known as a skid, is a flat transport framework that holds items securely while being hoisted by a forklift, a pallet jack, a front loader, a jacking device, or an upright crane. A pallet serves as the unit load’s structural base, allowing for efficient handling and storage. Frequently, strapping, stretch wrap, or shrink wrap are used to secure goods in shipping containers on a pallet before they are sent. Due to its compatibility with more contemporary packaging, such as corrugated boxes and intermodal containers, which are frequently used for bulk shipment, its use has significantly replaced that of earlier forms of crate, such as the wooden box and the wooden barrel, since its creation in the 20th century. Pallet collars can also be used to support and safeguard objects that are kept and transported on pallets.

Pallets can be composed of plastic, metal, paper, and recycled materials, though most are made of wood.

The size is the primary distinction between Euro and regular size pallets. Standard pallets refer to the most often used UK size, which is 1200 x 1000mm. The 1200 x 800 mm Euro pallet standard is accepted throughout all of Europe. There are many different viewpoints available to you, depending on whether you intend to ship products across the continent or store them in the UK.

Oversized Pallet Delivery

In the UK, the standard pallet size is typically:

  • UK Standard: 1200mm x 1000mm (approximately 47.2 inches x 39.4 inches)

An “oversized pallet” in the UK context would exceed these standard dimensions. The exact dimensions that qualify as “oversized” can vary depending on the industry or the specific requirements of a logistics provider. But generally, any pallet exceeding the standard UK dimensions would be considered oversized.

It’s worth noting that in Europe, there is another commonly used pallet size known as the Euro Pallet, which measures 800mm x 1200mm. However, even within the European pallet system, anything exceeding standard dimensions would be considered oversized.

Just as with any region, if you’re dealing with logistics or transportation in the UK and need to use oversized pallets, it’s essential to ensure that your logistics provider or shipping company can accommodate the larger size. This is important for factors like storage space, transport vehicle dimensions, and load stability.
