How big is a Euro pallet?
Dimensions of the Euro pallet:
- Length: 1,200 mm (120 cm)
- Width: 800 mm (80 cm)
- Height: 144 mm (14.4 cm)
The base area of a Euro pallet is 0.96 m².
There are also some special shapes of Euro pallets that are wider or higher, for example. However, the standard Euro pallet is the most common shape.
How many cubic meters does a Euro pallet have if it is 1.80 m high?
To calculate the volume of a Euro pallet, use the formula:
Volume = length × width × height
A standard Euro pallet (length 1.20 m, width 0.80 m) with a height of 1.80 m has a volume of 1.728 m³.
How many boxes fit on a Euro pallet?
Only 3 parcels would fit on the Euro pallet at a height of 1.80 m if the parcels have the DHL maximum dimensions of 120 cm × 60 cm × 60 cm.
The optimum box dimensions would be:
Length: 60 cm
Width: 40 cm
Height: 30 cm
Then 6 layers of 4 boxes each and a total of 24 boxes would fit on the Euro pallet.
With a safety distance of 10 cm above the Euro pallet, the pallet height is 1.70 m and there would then be a total of 20 boxes.
