Dimensions and logistics

Pallet sizes: Euro, EPAL 2 and UIC references

Plan a pallet footprint while keeping licensed construction and transport performance separate.

The EPAL Euro pallet footprint is 1200 × 800 mm with a height of 144 mm. EPAL 2 uses 1200 × 1000 mm and a height of 162 mm. Equal footprints do not imply equal pallet construction.

The native pallet presets are supplied-object mockups for presentation and layout. They are not licensed EPAL/UIC designs, manufacturing files or load-capacity certificates.

Size and specification are different decisions

Use the pallet operator’s product sheet for the actual load carrier. Include height when calculating the total loaded unit.

Plan cartons on the actual carrier

Use external case dimensions for the layer arrangement. Allow for the receiving warehouse’s overhang, height and securing requirements.

The 1200 × 1000 native preset has a 144 mm height and is an industrial-footprint visualization. Its preset identifier does not make it an EPAL 2 pallet. Confirm the real carrier before using a scene for logistics decisions.

Common questions

Does a Euro-size model qualify as an EPAL pallet?

No. EPAL identifies a controlled pallet system with construction and licensing requirements beyond the outside dimensions.

Can I use the model to certify a pallet load?

No. Load capacity, stability, racking and handling performance need the actual carrier and packed-load specification.
