The most common sizes (length × width) are 600 by 400 millimetres (24 in × 16 in) and 400 mm × 300 mm (16 in × 12 in), which can be stacked together to fill a Euro-pallet measuring 1,200 mm × 800 mm (47 in × 31 in).
Pallets conforming to the standardization are eligible for the European Pallet Pool (EPP), the system which allows for an exchange as "pallet for pallet". The EUR/EPAL-pallet is 800 mm × 1,200 mm × 144 mm (31.5 in × 47.2 in × 5.7 in); it is a four-way pallet made of wood that is nailed with 78 special nails in a prescribed pattern.
European pallet wide (or PW) containers are minimally wider, and have shallow side corrugation, to offer just enough internal width, to allow common European Euro-pallets of 1.20 m (47 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) long by 0.80 m (31 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) wide, [88] to be loaded with significantly greater efficiency and capacity.

At 2.6 m (8 ft 6 in) wide, it allows for 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) wide Euro shipping containers, [22] which are designed to carry Euro-pallets efficiently [8] [23] W10: Allows 2.9 m (9 ft 6 in) high Hi-Cube shipping containers to be carried on standard wagons [20] and also allows 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) wide Euro shipping containers. [22] Larger than UIC A. [8]
Specialized shipping containers include: high cube containers (providing an extra 1 ft (305 mm) in height to standard shipping containers), pallet wides, open tops, side loaders, double door or tunnel-tainers, and temperature controlled containers. Another specialized container, known as Transtainer, is a portable fuel and oil freight container.
However, ISO containers inner dimensions (2.33 m wide) are just a few centimetres too short to accommodate European-pool pallets (0.8 m × 1.2 m or 31.5 in × 47.2 in) without leaving much empty space. To optimise the carriage of pallets, wide bodies are often scaled to the maximum width allowed for standard road trucks and railroad cars and to ...
A bulk box, also known as a bulk bin, skid box, pallet box, bin box, gaylord, or octabin, is a pallet-size box used for storage and shipping of bulk or packaged goods. [1] Bulk boxes can be designed to hold many different types of items such as plastic pellets, watermelons, electronic components, and even liquids; some bulk boxes are stackable.
