Euro Pallet
Euro pallets are the standard pallet used in various high rack systems, trucks, and warehouses all around Europe. Also, companies exporting their goods to the contintent usually pack their products on EPAL Euro pallets.
These are so popular in Europe because of their strength, reliability, the possibility to be used multiple times, and convenient dimensions. They feature a box on top, which is constructed to hold products in place.
Although sometimes, there are fake pallets that contain the EUR logo without the surrounding ring. They can easily be recognized because the thickness of their wooden planks measures 1 cm instead of 2 cm.
Euro pallets are constructed from a wide variety of materials, including wood, plastic as well as steel. However, the most common material is wood. Approved types of wood include:
- Coniferous (fir, pine, spruce)
- Softwood (alder, birch)
- Hardwood (ash, acacia, oak, maple, sycamore, European chestnut)
