How to Choose the Right Size
Consider Your Products
Think about the dimensions and weight of items you'll be storing or shipping. Products should fit comfortably without overhang.
Check Industry Standards
Many industries have preferred pallet sizes. Using standard sizes can improve compatibility with shipping and storage systems.
Evaluate Your Space
Measure your warehouse aisles, truck beds, and storage racks to ensure pallets will fit efficiently.
Think About Transportation
Consider how pallets will be loaded in trucks, containers, or rail cars. Standard sizes optimize cargo space utilization.
Calculate Load Requirements
Ensure the pallet's load capacity exceeds your typical product weight with a safety margin.
