PLASTIC PALLET PLAZA

Used EUR and EPAL palette are full-value pallets that do not differ much from the new ones and are categorized into several categories. They bear signs of partial wear, sometimes mild, light or partially gray. More worn EUR and EPAL pallets are mostly darker in color (gray, brown, dark brown) and may contain individual features that have been used during the lifetime of these pallets for repair. However, this wear does not affect the pallet’s overall functionality and does not affect its quality. The used EUR and EPAL pallets meet all qualitative requirements and are more attractive to new pallets.

The standard pallet label is used for the most commonly used 1200x800mm pallet size. Unlike EUR pallets, whose production parameters are specified in detail, standard pallets may vary in height, load and construction. These pallets are suitable for customers who do not need EUR pallet or do not require loads such as EUR palettes. Last but not least, these pallets are suitable for buyers who save their goods and products on these pallets and the pallet does not return them. The approximate load capacity of these pallets is approximately 800 kg.

The EUR pallets are 1200x800mm and are currently the most widely used type of interchangeable pallets in Europe. The dimensions are based on the international standard module of the 400x600mm packing unit. EUR pallets can only be manufactured by certified manufacturers and must be identified by the manufacturer’s numeric code. The production of EUR pallets is subject to stringent standards, so the palette marked with an EUR sign on the side of the pallet is a guarantee of undeniable quality. The EUR palette carries these characters, the EUR mark on the right side (block), UIC – the sign of the railway undertaking approving the railway transport on the left side (block) and the middle block with the manufacturer’s code number, the IPPC tag and the pallet manufacturer or pallet repair. From 1 January 2010, all new EUR pallets must be heat treated and labeled according to ISPM 15 international phytosanitary treatment.

he EPAL pallets have a dimension of 1200x800mm and are the world’s most widely used pallet type and their share of the Czech market is constantly growing. Manufacturers of these pallets must be registered with the European Pallet Association and must own the production license of this organization. EPAL puts the greatest emphasis on the quality of new and repaired pallets under this license. The EPAL palette carries these characters, the EUR mark on the right side (block), the EPAL on the left side (block) and the middle block with the manufacturer’s code number, the IPPC mark and the buckle manufacturer’s or pallet repair. From 1 January 2010 all new EPAL pallets must be heat treated and labeled according to ISPM 15 international phytosanitary treatment. The new EPAL pallets are manufactured on the basis of ČSN 269110 and UIC 435-2, specifying all technical details, permissible wood types , types of nails, their spacing, etc.
