Euro Palette (EUR Palette or Epal Palette)
The most common standard palette type is Euro Palet. Euro Pallets are produced according to the standards set by the European Pallet Association (EPAL). The size and properties of Euro pallets provide universal standardization in transport and storage processes.
- Dimensions:1200 mm x 800 mm
- Weight:About 25-30 kg
- Transport capacity:It can usually carry load up to 1500 kg
- Material:Usually made of soft trees such as pine or spruce
- Thermal process:Thermal process is applied to purify wooden materials from insects.
ISO PALlet
ISO (International Standardization Organization) Pallets are other standard palette types used worldwide. ISO pallets have various dimensions and are adapted to different regional needs.
- Dimensions:1200 mm x 1000 mm (the most common size)
- Other Dimensions:1100 mm x 1100 mm, 1200 mm x 1200 mm, 1140 mm x 1140 mm
- Material:Wood, plastic or metal
- Capacity:Depends on the size and structure of the pallet
PALL STANDARDS AND MARKETS
Standard pallets have specific marks and codes. These markings show the production standard, material and intended use of the pallet.
- Epal sign:Euro shows that the pallet is in line with epal standards
- HT (Heat Treatment):It is found in heat -treated palettes and indicates that wood is free of insects.
- ISPM 15:International plant health measures standard is used for pallets traded in accordance with 15, especially in exports
Advantages
Standardization:Standard pallets increase the efficiency of transport and storage processes. The same size and structure facilitates loading, unloading and stacking.
Durability:Standard pallets are produced according to certain quality standards, which allows their durability and long -lasting.
Global Compliance:In international trade, standard pallets provide a smooth flow of goods between different countries and regions.
Economic:The production and maintenance of standard pallets is often more economical than other specific palette types.
Disadvantages
Lack of flexibility:Standard dimensions may not be suitable for any load and transport requirement. Special dimensions or shapes may be insufficient when necessary.
Weight:Wood standard palettes may be heavy even when they are empty, which may require extra energy during transport and transport.
Maintenance and repair:Wooden pallets can be worn out over time and require repair. Furthermore, wood material is sensitive to biological threats such as insects and fungi.
Uses
Logistics and Transportation:Standard pallets are widely used during loading, transportation and unloading of products.
Storage:It is ideal for regular stacking and storage of products in warehouses.
Production:It is used for transporting and processing materials in production facilities.
Retail:It is used for product supply and in -store arrangements for stores.
Conclusion
Standard Pallets play an important role in the logistics and transportation sector. Pallets with certain standards such as Euro Pallets and ISO Pallets make transportation and storage processes more efficient and reliable. The use of standard pallets contributes to the optimization of business processes and the facilitation of international trade.
