Pallet range

Export pallets and options

Pallet choice is a function of the destination, the load, the handling it will get and what the receiving side expects to see. Here is how we group the options.

The range

Each page covers what the option is, when it suits an export movement, and what we need from you to specify it. No prices are published — pallet pricing depends on specification, quantity and collection point.

Export pallets UK

The starting point for choosing an export pallet

How UK exporters specify a pallet: destination first, then size, construction, treatment and condition.

ISPM15 heat-treated pallets

Marked solid-wood pallets for plant-health requirements

Solid wood pallets heat treated and marked to ISPM15 by a registered operator, for journeys where treated wood packaging is required.

New export pallets

Manufactured to a stated specification

Newly manufactured pallets where the specification, timber and treatment route are known from the outset.

Used export pallets

Cost-effective, with provenance to consider

Second-hand pallets graded for reuse. Suitability depends on condition, marks and what the receiving customer needs to see.

Reconditioned export pallets

Repaired and re-graded stock

Repaired pallets returned to a usable grade. Repairs affect what an existing treatment mark can be relied on to show.

1200 x 1000 mm export pallets

The common UK footprint on outbound freight

The widely used UK pallet footprint, common on outbound export freight.

1200 x 800 mm export pallets

The Euro footprint on export work

Pallets on the 1200 x 800 mm footprint, frequently specified by continental receiving sites.

Bespoke export pallets

Built to a load, not a catalogue

Pallets made to a customer-specified size, deck pattern or load arrangement.

Pallets for sea freight

Container fill and long transit

Pallets selected around container utilisation, moisture and long transit times.

Pallets for air freight

Weight and handling driven

Pallet choices where chargeable weight and air cargo handling shape the specification.

Pallets for road freight to Europe

Groupage and full loads into the EU

Pallets for trailer movements into the EU, where treatment and marking and packaging questions both come up.

Empty pallets for export

Where the pallet is the goods

Consignments of pallets exported as the commodity itself, which is treated differently from pallets carrying goods.

Sizes are footprints, not systems

1200 x 1000 mm is the common UK export footprint; 1200 x 800 mm is the Euro footprint. Neither size, on its own, tells you anything about treatment, licensing or quality.

We will tell you when new is simply easier

If your customer is asking documentation questions, a documented new pallet is often cheaper once the administration is counted. We would rather say that than sell you the wrong thing twice.
