What is a CP8 pallet used for?
A CP8 pallet is used as a special container pallet for large containers that discharge from underneath through a bottom outlet, according to EPAL.
The open centre leaves room for the outlet, so the container can sit on the pallet while it empties. Tell us the container and its filled weight, and the quote checks the CP8 against it.
What is the difference between a CP8 and a CP9 pallet?
The CP8 and CP9 share the 1140 x 1140 mm footprint, the 156 mm height and the perimeter base; the CP8 has 28 boards on 12 blocks around an open centre, the CP9 has 24 boards on 9 blocks.
| Point | CP8 pallet | CP9 pallet |
|---|---|---|
| Boards / blocks / nails | 28 / 12 / 116 | 24 / 9 / 102 |
| Centre of the deck | Open, for a bottom outlet | Boarded across |
| EPAL stated use | Large containers with a bottom outlet | Casks and flexible intermediate bulk containers |
| Height | 156 mm | 156 mm |
Check the block count and the centre before you reorder, because a filling line built for one type expects its layout. The CP9 pallet is the closed-deck type and has a page of its own. The 138 mm type on the same footprint, on three bottom boards, is the CP3 pallet.
New and used CP8 pallets
We sell CP8 pallets new, built to the CP8 dimensions, or used, checked for type and condition before they are supplied.
- New
- Built to the CP8 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
- Repeat loads of the CP8 type and condition you set, dated on each quote
EPAL-marked CP8 pallets come only from EPAL's licensed manufacturers and repairers, so ask for the EPAL mark on your quote if your site requires it.
How do you identify a CP8 pallet?
An EPAL CP8 pallet carries "CP8" and the EPAL ID number on the centre block, with "EPAL in oval" on the right-hand corner block and the IPPC mark on the left-hand corner block.
- Centre block
- The CP type, CP8, and the EPAL ID number (licence number, year and month)
- Right-hand corner block
- "EPAL in oval"
- Left-hand corner block
- The IPPC mark, with the country code, the producer's registration number and HT for heat treatment
A CP8 shows its type even without a mark, through its twelve blocks, a perimeter base and an open centre on a 1140 x 1140 mm deck, 156 mm high. Send a photo of the pallet or its centre block with your quote request and we match the type.
Are CP8 pallets heat treated for export?
Only EPAL-marked CP8 pallets come heat treated, with the IPPC mark and HT on the left-hand corner block. Other CP8 pallets, used ones included, go for export only when they carry a legible ISPM 15 mark, and we supply heat-treated, ISPM 15 marked CP8 pallets 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.

CP8 pallet FAQs
What are the dimensions of a CP8 pallet in cm?
A CP8 pallet measures 114 x 114 cm and stands 15.6 cm high, that is 1140 x 1140 x 156 mm. EPAL allows 3 mm either way on length and width, and 5 mm over or 2 mm under on height.
How much weight can a CP8 pallet hold?
No safe working load is published for the CP8 pallet. EPAL's datasheet gives its size, boards, blocks and nails, but no load and no pallet weight. Tell us the container and its filled weight, and the quote checks the pallet against it.
Is a 1140 x 1140 pallet always a CP8?
No. A 1140 x 1140 mm pallet is a CP8 only at 156 mm high on twelve blocks with an open centre; boarded across on nine blocks it is a CP9, and at 138 mm on three bottom boards it is a CP3.
Can I order CP8 pallets with other CP types on one delivery?
Yes. CP8 pallets travel with other CP types, new or used, on one delivery, each stacked apart. Name every type on one quote, and the price covers the whole load.
