How much weight can a plastic euro pallet hold?

700 to 1,205 kgdynamic load, moving on a forklift or pallet truck
Not ratedfor racking, as makers publish no racking load for nestable models
The ranges cover nine models listed by five UK sellers and are maker figures, not a rating of ours.
Does a plastic euro pallet on runners hold more? Yes, makers publish higher loads for models on 3 runners, and a racking load for the rackable ones, so the quote names the figures for the exact model.
Tell us the load weight, and the beam spacing if the pallets go into racking, and we match the model to the job.
How much does a plastic euro pallet weigh?
A nestable plastic euro pallet weighs about 3 to 10 kg, according to maker listings, and models on 3 runners weigh more, so the quote names the weight of the exact model.
About 3 to 10 kga nestable plastic euro pallet, 1200 x 800 mm
About 25 kgan EPAL Euro pallet in wood, 1200 x 800 x 144 mm, for comparison
A nestable plastic euro pallet weighs under half as much as the wooden EPAL Euro pallet, and that is the weight staff lift when they move empties by hand. Wooden Euro pallets, new EPAL and used grades, are on our euro pallets for sale page.
Do plastic euro pallets need ISPM 15 for export?
Plastic euro pallets need no ISPM 15 treatment and no ISPM 15 mark for export, because GOV.UK limits ISPM 15 to wood packaging material.
- The rules cover
- Wood packaging, including pallets, box pallets and pallet collars
- Plastic euro pallets
- Exempt, with no treatment and no mark
- Wooden Euro pallets
- Heat treated at 56°C at the core for at least 30 minutes, then marked
Wood packaging moving from Great Britain to Northern Ireland must be treated and marked to ISPM 15, according to the GOV.UK guidance "Wood packaging material for import and export", and a plastic pallet needs neither.

Plastic euro pallet FAQs
Are plastic euro pallets the same size as wooden Euro pallets?
Yes. A plastic euro pallet measures 1200 x 800 mm, the footprint of the wooden EPAL Euro pallet, so it takes the same floor space on a trailer. Its height and weight vary by model.
Where can I buy plastic euro pallets near me?
We deliver plastic euro pallets across the UK, with no minimum order. Tell us the quantity and the delivery date.
Can plastic euro pallets go in racking?
Rackable models on 3 runners can, with a racking load their maker publishes; nestable models cannot, because makers do not rate them for beam racking. Tell us the rack type on the quote.
