What is a plastic half pallet used for?
A plastic half pallet is used for shop-floor display and promotions, small store deliveries, wipe-clean areas, and export with returned empties, four jobs in all.
| Job | Why a plastic half pallet suits it |
|---|---|
| Shop-floor display and in-aisle promotions | Low at 120 to 155 mm, light, and with no splinters or nails to catch shoppers or stock |
| Small store deliveries | Half a Euro pallet carries a smaller load to a shop or a site with tight access |
| Wipe-clean areas | The plastic washes down between loads |
| Export and returned empties | No ISPM 15 treatment for export, and empties nest on the way back |
A wooden half pallet does the same display job, and EPAL publishes two wooden half pallets for retail, the EPAL 6 and EPAL 7. Plastic suits the floor where splinters or nails are a problem.
How much weight can a plastic half pallet hold?
A plastic half pallet holds 1,000 to 3,000 kg standing still and 400 to 1,000 kg on a moving forklift or pallet truck, according to maker listings.
| Load | Range across five models | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Static | 1,000 to 3,000 kg | Load standing still on a flat floor |
| Dynamic | 400 to 1,000 kg | Load moving on a forklift or pallet truck |
| Racking | Not rated for racking | No maker publishes a beam racking load for this build |
The ranges cover five models listed by four UK sellers, not a rating of ours.
Is a plastic half pallet stronger than a wooden one? Not on the figures makers publish. A plastic half pallet lists 1,000 to 3,000 kg static and 400 to 1,000 kg dynamic, and the wooden EPAL 6 carries a 750 kg safe working load, so compare the figure for the job.
Do plastic half pallets nest?
Yes. Nestable plastic half pallets drop into each other when empty, so a stack of returned empties takes less room than the same number of pallets that do not nest.
Each pallet stands about 120 to 155 mm high on its feet and weighs about 2.5 to 6.5 kg, so one person moves an empty by hand. Some models have a raised 5 mm rim around the deck.

Plastic half pallet FAQs
What size is a plastic half pallet?
A plastic half pallet measures 800 x 600 mm, the same footprint as a wooden half Euro pallet, and stands about 120 to 155 mm high on its feet.
How many half pallets fit on a Euro pallet space?
Two. Two 800 x 600 mm half pallets side by side cover 1200 x 800 mm, the footprint of one Euro pallet.
Do plastic half pallets need ISPM 15 for export?
No. GOV.UK limits ISPM 15 to wood packaging material, so plastic pallets ship with no heat treatment and no mark.
Can plastic half pallets go in racking?
No. Makers publish no beam racking load for nestable half pallets, so they suit floors and display, not racking beams.
Do you sell wooden half pallets?
Yes. We sell wooden 800 x 600 mm half pallets too, new or used, on our half pallets page, and both go on one quote.
