At P4D we are haulage specialists and have years of experience in providing our customers with fast, secure and reliable pallet delivery solutions at affordable prices. So you can rest assured that we know what we’re talking about when it comes to pallet sizes.
Prior to a customer even considering sending a package anywhere we ask that they decide on the pallet size for their consignment, of course if they’re unsure we’ll be more than happy to assist and give our advice.
We currently offer five standardised pallets including Full, Half, Quarter, Light and Mini. All of these standard pallet sizes share the same dimensions which are 1m in width by 1.2m in length. However they do differ in regards to the size, weight and height of goods that they are capable of carrying.
With our sophisticated quote comparison engine, you can receive a quote instantly from some of the world’s most renowned couriers, with specific breakdowns for the size of the pallet, its price and the timeframe you can expect it to be delivered within.
As previously mentioned, there are three restrictions that determine what goods a specific pallet is capable of carrying. These considerations will likely be the biggest deciding factors when it comes to you actually picking what pallet you’d like to transport your packages on.
It’s important to note that any height measurements need to be taken from the floor to the top of the goods that are being transported as the maximum height includes the pallet base itself.
There are five different standard sizes for pallets: Full, Light, Half, Quarter and Mini.
All of them have the same base size, which is 1m wide by 1.2m deep:
