What size are pallets in South Africa?
The most common size pallet in use in South Africa measures 1200mm x 1000mm, but there is a growing demand for ‘shop ready’ packing solutions.
This has resulted in the introduction of half-size (48 x 20 inch) block pallets, which are said to be ideal for in-store merchandising.
How much does a pallet weigh in kg?
The exact weight of a pallet in kg largely depends on the type of pallet you’re using, and the material it’s made from. Most wooden pallets sit somewhere between 15 kg and 70 kg. However, plastic pallets can be quite lightweight and come in at as little as 4 kg.
How many boxes can fit on a pallet?
A standard pallet can fit 60 boxes, so if a container fits 20 pallets of 60 boxes on average, the number of boxes in a 40-foot container is 1200.
