What is a Grade B pallet?
A Grade B pallet is the middle of the three used grades, A, B and C. Grade B pallets are sound but show wear, and may carry one or two replaced boards or blocks.
Is there a UK standard for pallet grades? No. Grade definitions vary by supplier, so our Grade B rests on five checks you can see.
- BoardsNone broken or missing, top or bottom
- BlocksEvery block in place; minor splits pass, broken blocks do not
- RepairsOne or two replaced boards or blocks, left visible
- NailsNone standing proud of the deck
- WearVisible wear and a darker, more weathered finish than Grade A
A replaced board is new timber nailed in where a damaged one came out, the same work our pallet repair service does on customers' own pallets. Photos of the boards, blocks and repairs in each grade are in our guide, pallet grades explained. Grades are not EPAL quality classes, which apply only to EPAL Euro pallets.
How much weight does a Grade B pallet hold?
A Grade B UK standard pallet holds about 750 kg, as typical industry guidance from Dexion's pallet guide, and no racking load is published for it.

Up to about 1,000 kgTypical load of a Grade A, the grade above
These figures are guidance for a pallet on a solid floor, not a rating. Tell us the load weight and the rack type if the pallets go into racking, and the quote names the build for your load.
Are Grade B pallets heat treated?
Grade B pallets are not heat treated unless they carry a legible ISPM 15 mark, because a grade says nothing about treatment. We supply Grade B pallets 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 GOV.UK.
- 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.
Our standard Grade B stock is unstamped. 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.
