Discover the standard pallet sizes and weights in Australia

Plain Pallets on 15 June 2020

Whether you need Australian export pallets for transporting goods within Australia and Asia, or you're looking to send goods further abroad, we have a pallet to suit you. We also offer steel, plastic, and custom built pallets with capacities up to 2,000 kilograms.

Pallet sizes and specifications

Australian standard pallets are the most common pallets used by businesses in Australia. Coming in as a close second, the Australian export pallet is slightly smaller and fits two across a shipping container.

To export pallets internationally, you'll need to use US export pallets or Euro export pallets. To avoid custom delays, all pallets must be compliant with ISPM 15 regulations.

We also provide pallets made from other materials which are available in both standard and non-standard pallet sizes.

Hear from our Happy Customers

"I moved into an apartment recently and was advised to put pallets in my storage unit. I knew nothing about pallets and quickly wearied of looking at second-hand pallets — all of which were too large for my needs.

Plain Pallets saved me! They explained what plastic pallets were, what I needed, and directed me to a page showing second-hand plastic pallets in a range of sizes. Done! My two pallets are now safely in place. What I really appreciated was that the treated my meagre order for two second-hand pallets with respect. So a happy customer and certainly happy to recommend."
