Palletization serves to increase cargo-handling efficiency
- Two major types of pallets, “Europallet” and standard pallets.
o “Europallets” size is 800mm x 1,200mm per piece. A 20′ container can hold eleven “Europallets” in one tier while a 40′ container can hold 23-24 “Europallets”
o Standard pallets size is 1,000mm x 1,200mm per piece. A 20′ container can hold nine to ten standard pallets in one tier while a 40′ container can hold 20-21 standard pallets in one tier.
