Australia standard pallets

Australia standard pallets are square hardwood pallets that are standard in Australia and non-standard anywhere else in the world.
They are in size and fit perfectly in the of the Australian railways. They are ill-suited for the standard and ISO shipping containers used around the globe. Australian standard pallets are usually manufactured in Hardwood, but 1165 × 1165 mm pallets can also be manufactured using lighter timber suitable for use as disposable pallets using 16 millimetre boards. Extensively used in storage and warehousing, they are popular 'Racking' pallets with the right shape and size to be removed from transport and directly onto warehouse racking for storage.
The second standard pallet is 1100mm × 1100mm called an export pallet for use in ISO Series1 freight containers.
Well-known and utilised Australian Pallet manufacturers include CHEP, which is an Australian company that is found all over the globe, utilising the local standard sizes of pallets.
