What is a CP3 pallet?
A CP3 pallet is the square, 138 mm high type among the nine CP pallets, built as a container pallet for casks and octabins; the chemical industry has used the CP types since 1991, according to EPAL.
Is a CP3 the same as a CP8 or a CP9? No. The CP3, CP8 and CP9 share the 1140 x 1140 mm footprint, but the CP8 and CP9 stand 156 mm high on a perimeter base, and the CP3 stands 138 mm high on three bottom boards.
| Type | Height | Base | Boards / blocks / nails | EPAL stated use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CP3 | 138 mm | Three bottom boards | 15 / 9 / 81 | Casks and octabins |
| CP8 | 156 mm | Perimeter base | 28 / 12 / 116 | Large containers with a bottom outlet |
| CP9 | 156 mm | Perimeter base | 24 / 9 / 102 | Casks and FIBCs (flexible intermediate bulk containers) |
Order by type number, not footprint alone, because a receiving site set up for CP3 pallets checks the 138 mm height and the base as well as the 1140 x 1140 mm size.
New and used CP3 pallets
We sell CP3 pallets new, built to the CP3 dimensions, or used, checked for type and condition before they are supplied.
- New
- Built to the CP3 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 CP3 type and the condition you set
A CP3 shows its type on the centre block, stamped "CP3" or "CP 3". Send a photo of that block with your quote request and we match it.
Are CP3 pallets heat treated for export?
Yes. EPAL CP3 pallets are heat treated to ISPM 15 during production. Other CP3 pallets go for export only with a legible ISPM 15 mark, and we supply them heat treated and marked on request.
- Heat treatment holds the wood at 56°C for at least 30 continuous minutes through the whole profile, core included, according to the GOV.UK guidance on wood packaging material for import and export.
- A legible ISPM 15 mark removes the need for a phytosanitary certificate, and a certificate cannot replace the mark.
- Wood packaging going from Great Britain to Northern Ireland must be treated and marked, and packaging that fails ISPM 15 "could be rejected or destroyed", according to GOV.UK.
Tick the heat-treatment box on the quote for any load leaving Great Britain. Treatment and marking in every size are covered under heat treated pallets.

CP3 pallet FAQs
What size is a CP3 pallet?
A CP3 pallet measures 1140 x 1140 mm and stands 138 mm high, with ±3 mm allowed on length and width. EPAL's datasheet writes the size as 1,140 x 1,140 mm.
How much does a CP3 pallet weigh?
EPAL publishes no weight for the CP3 pallet, and no safe working load either. Neither appears in any of EPAL's nine CP datasheets, so tell us the load and the quote confirms the pallet for it.
Is a CP3 pallet the same as a CP9 pallet?
No. The CP3 and CP9 share the 1140 x 1140 mm footprint but are different builds, with the CP3 138 mm high on three bottom boards and the CP9 156 mm high on a perimeter base.
Do you sell plastic CP3 pallets?
Plastic pallets on the 1140 x 1140 mm CP3 footprint are quoted on request, but a plastic pallet is not a CP3, which EPAL defines as wooden.
