Pallet sizes
Pallet sizes: which frame fits your pallets?
Which pallet straightener fits depends on the size of your pallets: Palletframe Basic and Auto are made for a pallet width of 800, 1,000 or 1,200 mm, the Store and the Flat for 1,200 mm. If your pallet size is different, we make the frame to measure.
Models by pallet width
The number in the model code of a Palletframe is the pallet width in millimetres. The table puts all standard models side by side, with the height of the frame (for the Flat, the height of the stack of boxes) and the pallet width.
| Model | Height | Pallet width |
|---|---|---|
| Basic B800 | 2,350 mm | 800 mm |
| Basic B1000 | 2,350 mm | 1,000 mm |
| Basic B1200 | 2,350 mm | 1,200 mm |
| Auto A800 | 2,350 mm | 800 mm |
| Auto A1000 | 2,350 mm | 1,000 mm |
| Auto A1200 | 2,350 mm | 1,200 mm |
| Store S1200 | 1,300 mm | 1,200 mm |
| Flat F1200 | 2,600 mm (stack of boxes) | 1,200 mm |
Palletframe Basic and Palletframe Auto have the same pallet widths and the same height. The difference is the deeper lead-in funnel of Palletframe Auto, which makes the stack straighter. On the model pages of Palletframe Basic and Palletframe Auto you will find the usage drawing of each model. If none of these sizes fits, every line is also available made to measure.
Common pallet sizes in the UK and Europe
We will confirm with you which frame fits your pallets. So measure the length and the width of your own pallets and enter both sizes in the quote request. We will then advise you which model fits.
Two well-known pallet sizes are those of the EPAL Euro pallet and the EPAL 2 pallet. The European Pallet Association (EPAL) gives the following sizes for them on its website; the names in the table link to the source.
| Pallet | Size |
|---|---|
| EPAL Euro pallet (EPAL 1) | 800 × 1,200 mm |
| EPAL 2 pallet | 1,000 × 1,200 mm |
In the UK and Ireland, a pallet of 1,000 × 1,200 mm, the same size as the EPAL 2 pallet, is often called a UK pallet or standard pallet. There are also pallets in other sizes.
Frame height: standard or low
Besides the pallet width, you choose the height of the frame. Palletframe Basic and Palletframe Auto are 2,350 mm high. If you need a lower frame, there is the Store S1200 from the Palletframe Specials: 1,300 mm high, for a pallet width of 1,200 mm. The Flat F1200 from the same line is a flat frame for a stack of boxes on a pallet. For the Flat, 2,600 mm is the height of the stack of boxes, not of the frame.
Measure the clear height where the frame will stand and include it in your request. How many pallets fit in a frame depends on the height of your pallets; we are happy to look at that with you.
Non-standard size? Made to measure
If none of the standard sizes suits your pallets or your space, every line is available made to measure, with a non-standard pallet width or height. For the standard height, start with Palletframe Basic made to measure; Auto, Store and Flat are also available made to measure.
For a proposal, we need three details from you:
- the length and the width of your pallets;
- the height you need for the frame;
- the number of frames you need.
Enter all of this in the quote request, adding the pallet length and the number of frames to your message. We agree the exact sizes with you.
Frequently asked questions about pallet sizes
Another question?
We are happy to help.
What are the standard UK pallet sizes?
Two sizes you will often come across are 1,000 × 1,200 mm, the same size as the EPAL 2 pallet and often called a UK pallet or standard pallet, and 800 × 1,200 mm, the EPAL Euro pallet (source: EPAL, EPAL 2 and Euro pallet). There are also pallets in other sizes; if in doubt, measure your own pallets.
What is the difference between a UK pallet and a Euro pallet?
For a pallet straightener, the difference is mainly the size: the EPAL Euro pallet is 800 × 1,200 mm, while a UK pallet usually means a pallet of 1,000 × 1,200 mm, the same size as the EPAL 2 pallet. Which pallet straightener fits depends on the size of your own pallets: enter the length and the width in the quote request.
