The EPAL 1 pallet, also known as the europallet or EUR pallet, is the benchmark standard in European logistics. Manufactured under EPAL (European Pallet Association) license, it measures 1200 × 800 × 145 mm and with over 650 million units circulating worldwide. Repairable, exchangeable, and ISPM15 certified for international export, it supports a dynamic load capacity of 1500 kg (and up to 5000 kg static load). Ideal for transport and storage across all industries.
The EUR pallet is identical to the EPAL 1 pallet in dimensions and construction (1200 × 800 × 145 mm), but features the EUR and UIC (International Union of Railways) logos branded on its blocks. Made from solid softwood, this multi-rotation pallet is exchangeable throughout the entire European railway and logistics network. It has a dynamic load capacity of 1500 kg and is compatible with standard forklifts and racking systems. ISPM15 heat treatment is available for export.
The EPAL 2 pallet, widely known as the brewery pallet, measures 1200 × 1000 × 162 mm. Its wider format is optimized for transporting kegs, beverage crates, and various products from the brewing industry. Produced under EPAL license, it is fully exchangeable and ISPM15 certified. It offers a dynamic load capacity of 1250 kg and allows stacking up to 4250 kg. Perfectly suited for beverage logistics, food processing, and any industry handling cylindrical containers.
The EPAL 3 pallet features dimensions of 1000 × 1200 mm, providing an inverted orientation compared to the EPAL 1 pallet. Manufactured under EPAL license with the same rigorous production standards, it is exchangeable across the entire European network, ISPM15 treated, and supports up to 1500 kg in dynamic load. It is suitable for numerous sectors, including manufacturing, food and beverage, chemicals, and general logistics. Compatible with standard racking systems.
The EPAL 6 pallet, or half-pallet, measures 800 × 600 × 145 mm and weighs only 9.5 kg — exactly half the size of a standard europalette. It supports a dynamic load of 500 kg and can be stacked up to 1500 kg. Primarily used in mass distribution, retail, and for in-store displays, this EPAL-certified exchangeable pallet is ideal for small volumes or direct shelf-stocking. ISPM15 treatment comes as standard.
Une palette EPAL contrefaite engage votre responsabilité en cas d'accident. Flat Cargo garantit la traçabilité : agrafe de contrôle, clou de millésime et marquage fer "EPAL dans l'ovale" sur le dé gauche.
Acheter des palettes sur le marché libre expose souvent à des contrefaçons dangereuses pour vos racks de stockage. Notre réseau de 45 hubs garantit une qualité contrôlée (clous normalisés, humidité respectée, réparations certifiées) et une vélocité de livraison par camions complets (FTL : 33 piles par Tautliner), même en période de pénurie de bois.
Historiquement identiques. Aujourd’hui, la marque “EPAL” garantit le contrôle qualité par l’European Pallet Association. Le marquage “EUR” seul (sans ovale) concerne souvent des anciens parcs (SNCF/DB). Flat Cargo privilégie le standard EPAL certifié.
Non. Une palette cassée n’est plus une palette, c’est un déchet. Le Grade C est une palette structurellement saine (1500kg) mais visuellement dégradée (bois noirci, taches) ou ayant subi une réparation technique visible. Idéale pour le stockage interne ou l’expédition perdue.
