Pallets: the ultimate guide (2025)
Pallets are the backbone of logistics, providing a stable base for transporting goods globally.
As experts in pallet design, manufacture, and supply, we know a thing or two about pallets. We offer a comprehensive range of pallet services, with all of our new pallets heat-treated and kiln-dried to ensure your logistics needs are met with precision and reliability.
Our pallet experts created this guide to help clients explore the various types of pallets and share how our services can enhance your supply chain efficiency.
Standard UK size pallets
In the UK, the "Standard" pallet size measures 1200x1000mm. These versatile pallets are widely used across industries, offering a robust solution for transporting various goods.
At CCW Services, we design and manufacture these pallets to meet specific load capacities and operational requirements. Our expertise ensures that each pallet is constructed precisely, providing durability and reliability in every application.
Euro pallets
Euro pallets, measuring 1200x800mm, are prevalent across Europe and are often used for international shipping. Their standardised size ensures compatibility with European logistics systems.
We offer Euro pallets designed and manufactured to meet stringent quality standards, ensuring they withstand the demands of global transport. Our supply chain capabilities guarantee the timely delivery of these essential logistics components.
CP pallets
Developed for the chemical and construction industries, CP pallets are known for their uniformity and strength. They come in various sizes, with winged edges that provide additional protection and ease of shrink-wrapping.
CCW Services manufactures CP pallets with closely spaced boards, ensuring they can handle heavy loads and harsh conditions. Our commitment to quality ensures these pallets meet industry-specific requirements.
Square pallets
Square pallets are frequently used in North America and various industries for efficient space utilisation.
While not as common in the UK, CCW Services can design and supply square pallets tailored to your needs. Our bespoke pallet services allow for custom sizing and design, ensuring they fit seamlessly into your logistics operations.
Custom pallets
When standard sizes don't meet your requirements, custom pallets offer a tailored solution.
We specialise in designing and manufacturing custom pallets to accommodate unique storage, space, and load-bearing needs. Our team will work closely with you to develop pallets optimising your logistics operations, providing flexibility and efficiency.
