CP2 pallets for sale (1200 x 800 x 138 mm)
A CP2 pallet is the chemical pallet type on the Euro footprint at 1200 x 800 mm and 138 mm high, built from 13 boards and 9 blocks on three bottom boards. We sell CP2 pallets new or used, delivered across the UK.
EPAL made the CP2 for retail-type sectors as an alternative to the Euro pallet. Every quote names the condition and the delivered price.
CP2 pallet dimensions and specification
A CP2 pallet measures 1200 x 800 mm, stands 138 mm high and is a four-way block pallet with 13 boards, 9 blocks and 60 nails on three bottom boards, according to EPAL's CP2 datasheet.

The 13 / 9 / 60 count is what tells a CP2 apart from a Euro pallet on the same footprint, and the tolerance is EPAL's own.
What is a CP2 pallet?
A CP2 pallet is the chemical pallet type on the Euro footprint, being type 2 of the nine CP types, CP1 to CP9, made for retail-type sectors as an alternative to the EPAL Euro pallet, according to EPAL's CP2 datasheet.
Is a CP2 pallet a Euro pallet? No. A CP2 pallet shares the Euro pallet's 1200 x 800 mm footprint but is built to its own drawing, 6 mm lower and with 13 boards against 11.
The chemical industry set the nine CP types with wooden pallet makers, and they have been in use since 1991, according to EPAL. Buyers write it as CP2 or "CP 2"; both name the same pallet. The CP2 is one of five CP types at 138 mm high, and all five stand on three bottom boards.
CP2 pallet vs Euro pallet
A CP2 pallet and an EPAL Euro pallet share the same 1200 x 800 mm footprint, but the CP2 stands 6 mm lower, carries two more boards and 18 fewer nails, and has no published safe working load.
| Point | CP2 pallet | EPAL Euro pallet |
|---|---|---|
| Footprint | 1200 x 800 mm | 1200 x 800 mm |
| Height | 138 mm | 144 mm |
| Boards / blocks / nails | 13 / 9 / 60 | 11 / 9 / 78 |
| Pallet weight | None published | Approx 25 kg |
| Safe working load | None published | 1,500 kg |
Ask for the CP2 when a chemical customer or receiving site names the CP type. Ask for an EPAL Euro pallet when your load needs a published safe working load or the site asks for Euro pallets. Tell us the load and the handling, and we confirm the exact pallet before we quote.
New and used CP2 pallets
We sell CP2 pallets new, built to the CP2 dimensions, or used, checked for type and condition before they are supplied.
- New
- Built to the CP2 dimensions; the quote states whether the pallets supplied carry the EPAL mark
- Used
- Checked for type and condition before supply; the quote names the condition
- Regular orders
- Held to the CP2 type and the condition you set
EPAL-marked CP2 pallets come only from EPAL's licensed manufacturers and repairers, so ask for the EPAL mark on your quote if your customer requires it. Used CP2 pallets are sold by type, and the quote describes the pallets offered. Tick the heat-treatment box on the quote for any load leaving Great Britain, and the rules behind the ISPM 15 mark are on our heat treated pallets page.

CP2 pallet FAQs
What size is a CP2 pallet?
A CP2 pallet measures 1200 x 800 mm and stands 138 mm high, the same footprint as the Euro pallet. EPAL's datasheet writes it 800 x 1,200 mm, with ±3 mm allowed on length and width.
How much weight can a CP2 pallet hold?
No safe working load is published for the CP2 pallet. EPAL's CP2 datasheet gives its size, boards, blocks and nails, but no load and no pallet weight. Tell us the load, and we confirm the pallet before quoting.
Is a CP2 pallet heat treated for export?
Yes. EPAL CP2 pallets are heat treated to ISPM 15, and other CP2 pallets go for export only when they carry a legible ISPM 15 mark. We supply heat treated, marked CP2 pallets on request.
How do you identify a CP2 pallet?
An EPAL CP2 pallet carries the CP type and EPAL ID number on the centre block, with "EPAL in oval" and the IPPC mark on the corner blocks. Send a photo of that block and we match it.
