Measurements and delivery planning
- How do I measure a wooden pallet correctly?
Learn how to record wooden pallet length, width and height, label the entry side, and distinguish pallet measurements from loaded shipping dimensions. - Does a freight quote need to include the weight of the pallet?
Include the pallet and all packaging in gross shipping weight. Learn why empty pallet weight is different from load capacity. - How do I check whether a loaded pallet will fit through a container door?
Check the finished pallet load against the actual container door opening, internal space and loading method before dispatch. - What receiving and access details should I provide for a pallet delivery?
Prepare the address, receiving hours, unloading equipment and truck-access details needed to plan a pallet delivery.
Handling, packaging and pallet specifications
- Can a pallet jack enter every four-way pallet from all sides?
Four-way forklift entry does not always mean four-way pallet-jack access. Learn which clearances and bottom-board details to check. - How should small cartons be supported on a pallet with deck gaps?
Match small cartons to pallet deck spacing so the bottom layer has suitable support during lifting, storage and transport. - Should shipping cartons overhang the edges of a pallet?
Understand why carton overhang can weaken a palletized shipment and how to check the finished load against carrier requirements. - Can any wooden pallet be used on an automated conveyor?
Automated conveyors need a defined pallet specification. Check base geometry, board placement, tolerances and loaded trials. - Can I sell or recycle branded rental pallets with my own pallets?
Separate company-owned pallets from rented or pooled equipment and confirm ownership before arranging sale or recycling. - Are kiln-dried pallets the same as heat-treated pallets?
Kiln drying and heat treatment have different purposes. Learn why a KD mark alone does not establish ISPM 15 compliance.
