How to Choose the Right Size

1

Consider Your Product

Measure your product dimensions and calculate the optimal pallet footprint. Ensure products don't overhang, which can cause damage during transport.

2

Check Transportation

Standard truck trailers are 48" or 53" wide. Using 48x40" pallets allows for efficient loading with minimal wasted space.

3

Evaluate Storage

Measure your warehouse racks and aisles. Pallet size affects racking efficiency and forklift maneuverability.

4

Industry Standards

Follow your industry's standard sizes for compatibility with suppliers, customers, and distribution centers.
