Standard Size Pallets

The market in South Africa refer to a standard pallet being 1.2m x 1m and that goes for both 2-way and 4-way entry pallets.

2-Way Pallets

2-way pallets are usually used where heavy packages need to be lifted by means of a forklift. These pallets can only be entered from either the front or the back of the pallet and hence the name 2-way entry pallet.

2-way pallets are stronger than 4-way pallets and tend to be cheaper because to the simplicity in the manufacturing process

Types of 2-way pallets include:

Non-reversible 2-way pallet

  • Also known as a standard 2-way pallet in the market
  • They usually have three or four bearer blocks with seven or eight deck slats and three bottom slats
  • Typical usage would be if you want to transport your product on a open on closed truck where entry is only required from two sides

Reversible 2-way pallet

  • Also known as a heavy duty 2-way pallet. Typical usage would be for manufacturers that require heavy package loads that need to be stacked on top of each other.
  • There pallets are not suitable for pallet jack usage
