Every month, the indicative price of new and used pallets, recalculated from public timber and diesel indices. Plan your purchasing and review your contracts on data you can verify.
— data. Updated automatically on the 10th of each month.
New and used pallets, in euros, in base 100 or month by month. Used pallets react more strongly to the price of diesel, new pallets to the price of timber.
Indices in base 100 = — average.
— to —, per pallet.
Three-month average. A quarter is calculated once all three months are published.
The price agreed with your supplier, recalculated in line with timber and fuel.
The price of a wooden pallet depends mainly on softwood lumber, energy and transport. Tracking these costs every month helps you anticipate rises, compare offers and stay on budget.
Two public indices your supplier can check just as you can. Combined with your quotes and negotiated prices, they provide a basis for EPAL, CP and other pallets, depending on your volumes and delivery terms.
Set internal review thresholds: beyond a few percent over three months, it is time to renegotiate or adjust your stock. The gauge and the month-by-month view show straight away if the market is moving.
Spot buying, framework contract or scheduled orders: the right choice depends on your volumes and the trend. With a full truckload of 500 to 700 pallets, transport takes a much smaller share of the price of each pallet.
The HPE index measures the purchase cost of timber in Germany, not the selling price of finished pallets in France. The indicative price in this barometer applies the change in this index and in the diesel index to a reference quoted price.
Automatically, on the 10th of each month. Timber comes from the HPE pallet timber index. Diesel comes from the CNR index (France's road transport committee) for past data, then from the official average diesel price in France (INSEE and prix-carburants.gouv.fr), converted to the same scale. Subscribers receive the PDF report the same day.
Agree a quoted price and a reference quarter with your supplier, then apply the same formula at each review. The barometer's simulator gives you the revised price and the effect on your volume.
No. It is a trend indicator. The actual price depends on volume, region, lead time and pallet condition. For a firm price, see the pallets available on the Flat Cargo Hub.
