Pallets

Choosing the right pallet is about more than just the dimensions. Ergopal selects pallets that are specially designed to meet the requirements of modern logistics processes. Our models impress with their stable construction, precise dimensional accuracy and high resistance to moisture, chemicals and mechanical stress. Whether Euro pallets in 1200×800 mm format, i.e. with the typical Euro pallet dimensions, the industrial pallet with 1200×1000 mm or the compact Düsseldorfer pallet with 800×600 mm, all products fit seamlessly into automated storage and transport systems.

Thanks to their durable construction, Ergopal pallets are ideal for repeated use in returnable cycles. The sophisticated shape facilitates cleaning, storage and safe pallet shipping, even under demanding conditions.

For companies that want to buy Euro pallets or have specific requirements regarding pallet dimensions or pallet size, Ergopal offers individual solutions with proven quality.

Even if we do not offer Chep pallets ourselves, we will be happy to advise you on the differences compared to our high-quality alternatives in the area of reusable and export logistics. Whether Euro pallets, EPAL pallets or individual special formats, we supply the right solution.

Types of pallets

At Ergopal you will find a large selection of pallets for all transportation and storage requirements. Here you will find an overview of the most important pallet types with the respective areas of application and specifications:

• Euro pallets (1200×800 mm) - The best-known load carrier in Europe. With Euro pallet dimensions of 1200 × 800 mm, they can be used universally, are stackable, can be exchanged several times and are ideal for automated logistics processes.

• Industrial pallets (1200×1000 mm) - Larger than the Euro pallet, they offer additional support surface for machines, pallet cages or heavy loads. Particularly suitable for industrial production and shipping.

• Düsseldorfer pallets (800×600 mm) - Compact half pallet with metal runners, ideal for store logistics and display purposes. The Düsseldorfer pallet can be easily moved with pallet trucks or hand lifts.

• Chep pallets - rental-based reusable pallets in a closed pool system. Standardized worldwide, usually marked with blue color. Widely used in the consumer goods, food and automotive industries. Available in various pallet sizes, including the standard 1200 × 800 mm format.

• Disposable pallets - Designed for single use, particularly popular for export. Inexpensive, lightweight and available in different materials - e.g. pressed wood, cardboard, plastic. Ideal if you are shipping a pallet that will not be returned.

• Plastic pallets - Hygienic, durable and resistant to moisture, chemicals and insects. Frequently used in the pharmaceutical industry, food production and in clean rooms. Their consistent pallet dimensions ensure process reliability.

• Pressed wood pallets - Made from pressed wood chips, nestable and lightweight. They save storage space and comply with ISPM15 guidelines without additional treatment. Practical for export and space-saving storage.

• Display pallets (600×400 mm / 800×600 mm) - Small presentation pallets for the retail trade. Easy to use in shelves and sales areas, often with individually printable areas for brand staging.

• EPAL pallets - High-quality Euro pallets with strict production monitoring. The EPAL pallet is exchangeable, with Euro pallet dimensions, ideal for use in international supply chains.

• Air freight pallets - Particularly lightweight and designed for maximum weight savings. Suitable for international shipping via air freight. Available in cardboard, plywood or plastic.

• Special pallets / custom pallets - Individually manufactured pallets for specific requirements, e.g. oversized machines, special containers or modular storage concepts. Flexible in shape, material and pallet dimensions.

• Used pallets - a sustainable solution for cost-sensitive companies. Our used pallets are tested, immediately available and available in many pallet sizes - ideal for short-term use or internal goods transportation.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

1. which pallet formats are the most common in Germany and Europe?
Euro pallets measuring 1200 × 800 mm and industrial pallets measuring 1200 × 1000 mm are the standard in many sectors, from industry to retail. The more compact Düsseldorf pallet with 800 × 600 mm is also frequently used, for example in retail or store logistics. Both formats are optimally matched to shelving systems, conveyor technology and truck loading schemes.

2. what should I consider before buying pallets?
Important factors are pallet dimensions, load capacity, circulation frequency and the storage environment. Consider whether your processes allow standardized Euro pallet dimensions or whether special sizes are more suitable. The question of whether the pallets are to be used several times or only for export also plays a role. Ergopal supports you in your selection with technical expertise and personal advice.

3. are there differences between pallets for disposable and reusable use?
Yes. Disposable pallets are usually lighter and cheaper, but are not designed for long-term use. Reusable pallets are characterized by high stability and dimensional accuracy and can be reliably reused, shipped and stored. The difference lies not only in the material, but also in the design and load-bearing capacity.

4. what role do dimensions and dimensional accuracy play for pallets?
Pallet dimensions are crucial for the smooth running of automated processes. Even minor deviations can lead to malfunctions in storage and retrieval machines or conveyor systems. Ergopal offers precisely manufactured Euro pallets and EPAL pallets that fit seamlessly into existing systems, regardless of the material or format used.

5. how quickly can pallets be delivered?
Our production and logistics are designed for maximum efficiency. Standard formats such as Euro pallets or Düsseldorf pallets can usually be delivered at short notice. Depending on the region, pallet type and order quantity, dispatch takes place within a few working days, securely packaged and traceable.
