At Foresco, pallets are at the heart of what we do. We’re dedicated to providing the right logistics solution for your business and that starts with expert advice on essential pallet specifications, like height. So, how tall is a pallet? It depends on the type. On this page, we explain the key differences to help you make the right choice. Ready for a quote? One of our specialists will get back to you promptly with tailored advice.
Popular pallet types like Europallets and CP pallets are built to standardised height specifications, which is essential for efficient international transport and supply chain operations. Less common pallet types may vary in height depending on their specific use.
Europallets follow fixed dimensions, making them suitable and interchangeable for a wide range of logistics applications. The standard EPAL size is 800 x 1200 x 144 millimetres. In other words, the height of a Europallet is 144 millimetres, or 14.4 centimetres. Need a different height? Foresco provides custom pallet solutions tailored to your exact needs.
CP pallets are commonly used in the chemical industry and Foresco offers high-quality versions of these pallets. Although they were originally developed for chemical applications, CP pallets are now widely used across various sectors. They are strong, dependable and built to safely transport both hazardous (liquid) substances and heavy loads.
We offer 9 different CP pallets, from CP1 to CP9, with the following heights:
Interested in the quality of our CP pallets? These pallets are regularly inspected, sorted and repaired to extend their lifespan. This contributes to Foresco’s sustainability goals.
For certain pallet types, such as the EPAL Europallet or CP pallet, the maximum height is fixed. Other heights are possible when it comes to custom-made solutions.
However, pallet height is also linked to the height of the load. In other words, how tall can a pallet be, including cargo or packaging? This depends on the carrier’s requirements and the dimensions of the containers used for transport. Want to know more about the requirements a pallet must meet?

The fork entry height of a wooden pallet affects its compatibility with forklifts, pallet jacks or stackers. How much clearance is there to insert or lift the pallet? If you’re looking for a high-quality pallet from Foresco, it’s important to take fork entry height into account when we liaise.
As an example, using a pallet jack typically requires a minimum entry height of 9 centimetres. Have other questions about fork entry height? We’re happy to help.
Foresco has the expertise to create pallets with unique, custom specifications. Not only do we excel in strong standard pallets, but we also craft wooden products tailored to your logistical needs. That includes specific dimensions and therefore specific heights. That’s what Foresco pallets are all about.
More control, less waste, and PPWR-ready. Pallets are an everyday part of logistics for many businesses. They move goods from A to B but then often disappear. This is exactly where the challenge lies. Because if you don’t have control over your pallets, you lose oversight, face an extra cost for replacements, and miss opportunities for reuse.
Ensuring reuse without an in-house pallet pool. Not every business has the option to manage pallets within its own pallet pool. Even so, pressure is increasing to reduce waste and actively promote reuse. This is especially true with the introduction of the European PPWR legislation, which aims to promote reusable and recyclable packaging, and organisations are increasingly taking stock of their pallet usage. Foresco Collect, Repair & Re-use is a worthy alternative.
At Foresco, we strive to provide a safe and reliable solution for every logistics challenge. Transporting liquid substances in barrels? We have the perfect solution: our CP2 pallet. This pallet, part of our extensive Chemical Pallets (CP) series, is specially designed to transport your load safely.
