Use 1200 × 1000 mm as a common industrial-pallet planning footprint: 1.20 m² of floor area and about 0.50 LDM at a 2.4 m reference trailer width.
Quick reference
The 1200 × 1000 mm footprint is a common industrial planning format; 'industrial pallet' is not one universal pallet specification.
Practical guide
Use Industrial Pallet Dimensions as a planning reference, then read the figures together rather than treating one dimension or capacity number in isolation.
Reference values are useful for quotations and pre-planning, but the assigned pallet, trailer body and legal vehicle configuration remain the final source for an actual shipment.
How it works
Start with the physical dimensions, then use floor area, LDM or pallet-position figures only for the planning question they actually answer. Confirm the real equipment before dispatch.
When to use it
Use it when 1200 × 1000 mm load units must be converted into floor area or LDM and compared with EUR-pallet-based planning.
What to check before dispatch
Do not assume every 1200 × 1000 mm pallet is an EPAL 2. Height, construction, weight rating and markings depend on the actual pallet standard and supplier.
Worked example
Example: 10 load units of 1200 × 1000 mm have 12.0 m² of footprint. At a 2.4 m LDM reference width that corresponds to about 5.0 LDM.
Common mistake
Common mistake: calling every 1200 × 1000 mm pallet an EPAL 2. Use the footprint for planning, but confirm the actual pallet standard separately.
FAQ — Industrial Pallet Dimensions
What does this reference tell me?
Use this page as a quick planning reference. It summarizes a common nominal value or relationship; it does not certify a specific pallet, trailer, vehicle or shipment.
When should I use these values?
Apply the value only when the cargo or equipment matches the stated assumptions. For a real load, confirm the actual dimensions, orientation and usable space.
Are these dimensions guaranteed for every shipment?
No. Nominal dimensions and planning factors can vary with equipment, body design, manufacturer, load arrangement and operating rules.
What is the most common planning mistake?
A common mistake is treating a reference value as a guaranteed physical fit or legal capacity. Use it as a first check, then verify the actual vehicle and load.
