CP9 pallets for sale (1140 x 1140 x 156 mm)
A CP9 pallet is a 1140 x 1140 x 156 mm chemical pallet on a perimeter base, made for casks and FIBCs. We sell CP9 pallets new or used, delivered across the UK.
FIBCs are flexible intermediate bulk containers, and forks enter a CP9 from all four sides. Every quote names the condition, whether the pallets carry the EPAL mark, and the delivered price.
CP9 pallet specification

What is a CP9 pallet?
A CP9 pallet is the square, 156 mm high CP type built for casks and FIBCs, one of the nine CP pallets the chemical industry has used since 1991, according to EPAL.
Is a CP9 the same as a CP8? No. The CP9 and CP8 share the 1140 x 1140 mm footprint, the 156 mm height and the perimeter base, but the CP9 has 24 boards on 9 blocks and a boarded deck, and the CP8 has 28 boards on 12 blocks around an open centre.
| 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, open centre | 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 CP9 pallets checks the 156 mm height and the nine-block base as well as the 1140 x 1140 mm size.
New and used CP9 pallets
We sell CP9 pallets new, built to the CP9 dimensions, or used, checked for type and condition before they are supplied.
- New
- Built to the CP9 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 CP9 type and condition you set, dated on each quote
A CP9 shows its type on the centre block, stamped "CP9", and stands on nine blocks where a CP8 stands on twelve. Send a photo of the centre block with your quote request and we match it.
Are CP9 pallets heat treated for export?
Only EPAL-marked CP9 pallets come heat treated; any other CP9 goes for export only when it carries a legible ISPM 15 mark. We supply heat-treated, marked CP9 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.

CP9 pallet FAQs
What size is a CP9 pallet?
A CP9 pallet measures 1140 x 1140 mm and stands 156 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 CP9 pallet weigh?
EPAL publishes no weight for the CP9 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.
What is the difference between a CP3 and a CP9 pallet?
The CP3 is 138 mm high on three bottom boards and the CP9 156 mm high on a perimeter base. Both share the 1140 x 1140 mm footprint, and the CP9 has 24 boards to the CP3's 15.
Do you sell plastic CP9 pallets?
No. The CP9 is a wooden EPAL pallet. If you need a plastic pallet on the 1140 x 1140 mm footprint, ask for it on the form and we quote it as a plastic pallet.
