ISO 6780: six international sizes
The international standard ISO 6780 lists six pallet sizes that are widely used around the world:
- 1200 x 800 mm: the Euro pallet, standard in Europe.
- 1200 x 1000 mm: the industrial pallet, in Europe, the UK and Asia.
- 1219 x 1016 mm (48 x 40 inch): the standard in North America. Q-Pall has medium pallets of 1220 x 1020 mm in this size, listed under 1200 x 1000 mm.

Small sizes for retail
The half Euro pallet of 600 x 800 mm and the quarter Euro pallet of 600 x 400 mm are popular as display pallets in supermarkets. Two half or four quarter pallets fill exactly one Euro pallet.
CP sizes for the chemical industry
The chemical industry works with nine CP sizes. The main ones are CP1 and CP6 (1200 x 1000 mm), CP3 and CP9 (1140 x 1140 mm), CP5 (760 x 1140 mm) and CP7 (1300 x 1100 mm). See CP pallets.
Height and fork entry height
Besides length and width, height matters. It determines how many pallets fit in a stack or truck and whether the forks of your forklift or pallet truck fit underneath. Our pallets are 143 to 165 mm high. For each model you can see the exact height and a technical drawing with the dimensions.
