Find the right pallet for the job.
Start with dimensions, load and handling. Then confirm the treatment and marking needed for your destination.

Read guidePallet constructionTwo-way entry export pallets
Two-way entry allows fork approach from two opposite sides. It is a construction choice, not a treatment category. A runner-based pallet or skid can be useful where the handling route consistently allows that approach, but access needs to be checked at the destination as well as the dispatch site.
Read guidePallet constructionFour-way entry export pallets
Four-way entry designs provide access from all four sides for suitable equipment, but not every opening works with every pallet truck. Block arrangement, lower boards and entry geometry influence practical compatibility. Check the actual design rather than relying on a four-way label.
Read guidePallet constructionTwo-way vs four-way pallets
The best entry design depends on how the loaded pallet moves. Compare access, construction, equipment compatibility and cost against the same cargo and destination requirement. Neither entry label establishes a load rating or ISPM 15 status.
Read guidePallet constructionNew heat-treated export pallets
New pallets can be specified around consistent dimensions and construction. Their new condition does not by itself establish treatment, marking or capacity. Include those requirements when requesting a quotation, alongside any customer drawing or acceptance standard.
Read guidePallet constructionNew vs used ISPM 15 pallets
Condition is a commercial and operational choice. A new pallet can offer a controlled specification; a used pallet can suit applications that accept the offered condition and construction. Either option needs appropriate treatment and marking where required by the movement.
Read guidePallet constructionHeavy-duty export pallets
Heavy duty is a description that needs a design behind it. Cargo weight, point loads, support spans and movement determine the requirement. A thick-looking board or a treatment stamp is not evidence of a safe working load.
Read guidePallet constructionExport skids and machinery bases
A skid or base may be chosen to support equipment during packing and transport. Terminology varies, so show the intended construction and handling rather than assuming every supplier means the same thing by skid.
Read guidePallet constructionLow-profile export pallets
Reducing base height can help meet a loaded-height constraint, but it changes the space available for supports and fork entry. Begin with the complete loaded dimension and equipment requirement rather than choosing the thinnest visible pallet.
Read guidePallet constructionLong export pallets
Long products require a base matched to their support needs and the handling route. Overall length alone does not show where the cargo needs support, whether it can flex or how it will be restrained.
Read guidePallet constructionWide export pallets
A wide pallet can support a broad cargo footprint, but usable loading width, door access and handling equipment must all be checked. A pallet that fits the goods may still be unsuitable for the chosen transport route.
Read guidePallet constructionClose-boarded export pallets
Closer deck-board spacing can help support certain cargo formats, but the appropriate arrangement depends on the load and its packaging. Board gaps, thickness and support underneath the boards should be specified together.
Read guidePallet constructionPallets with additional deck boards
Adding deck boards changes how the cargo is supported, but does not automatically increase an established load rating. The rest of the construction and the support conditions still govern performance.
Read guidePallet constructionPallets with heavier runners
Runner dimensions are one part of pallet design. Heavier sections may be considered for a particular support span or point-load arrangement, but a runner specification alone does not establish complete pallet performance.
Read guidePallet constructionExport pallets made to drawing
A controlled drawing gives the supplier a precise starting point for bespoke supply. It should identify geometry, construction, tolerances and the intended loading and handling conditions.
Read guidePallet constructionExport pallets made to sample
A sample can help describe an existing pallet, particularly when no drawing is available. It cannot by itself establish its original capacity, treatment history or suitability for a different cargo.
Read guidePallet constructionPallet collars for export
Collars change a pallet into a different packaging assembly. Their dimensions, material, hinges, stacking and fixing method need to work with the base and cargo. Raw-wood collars also need review under the destination’s wood-packaging requirements.
Read guidePallet constructionExport crates and cases: pallet-base requirements
An enclosed case may combine panels, a pallet base, framing and internal blocking. The material description needs to cover the entire package, including solid timber hidden behind processed-wood panels.
