When stacking laden pallets on a solid, even sur-face, the bottommost pallet must not exceed a load of max. 5,500 kg.

4-sided accessibility with chamfered lower edge boards on both sides enables highly efficient handling during production, storage and trans-portation all the way along the supply chain.Compatible with all (conventional) standard load carriers, industrial trucks and warehouse systems.

Compliance with the ISPM 15 stan-dard is the most essential condition for the unrestricted use of load car-riers in the international movement of goods. All EPAL Euro pallets are

therefore produced according to the stringent specifications of the IPPC and can thus be deplo-yed around the globe. Local plant protection agencies will provide information on the coun-tries that recognise the IPPC standard.

Damaged EPAL Euro pallets can be repaired cost effectively and in a cl imate-fr iendly manner by all EPAL-licensed pallet repair

operations. Following the quality-assured repair, EPAL Euro pallets repaired according to standard receive a repair nail bearing the “EPAL” trademark and the licence number of the repair operation.
