Frequently Asked Questions
No, it is not possible for us to sell our new or recycled wooden pallet directly online. Indeed, to be competitive for you, we need to calculate the lowest possible transport costs and therefore ensure that deliveries can be made from the factories closest to you.
Until a few years ago, we sold our new or recycled (second-hand) wooden pallet directly to private customers. Based on this experience, it became clear to us that, in terms of both quality and cost, this service did not meet our customers' expectations.
In terms of quality, wood is a living material. Blue staining and black or green marks make it incompatible with decorating requirements and may naturally lead to dissatisfaction.
In terms of cost, it is important to understand that a wooden pallet has a considerable volume (a Euro pallet measures 80 cm x 120 cm x 14.4 cm) and weight (a Euro pallet weighs +/- 25 kg). Although the unit price of a pallet is relatively low, transport costs are very high when delivering only a few units. Ordering 10 pallet, for example, already amounts to +/- 250 kg... As private customers do not have suitable handling equipment, our carriers are unable to provide the required delivery conditions.
Furthermore, we cannot deliver less than one stack, which represents between 20 and 100 pallet, depending on the model.
Yes. A new wooden pallet can be manufactured and treated in accordance with the ISPM15 standard. MyPalletsOnline offers standard or custom pallet with or without ISPM15 treatment. Depending on export conditions, we systematically recommend including mechanical drying with the treatment. This is to avoid any risk of mold or fungal growth on the wood.
For a pallet Second-hand (reconditioned), if it was treated with ISPM15 during its manufacture and has not been repaired, its original treatment remains valid.
Reconditioned & used Wooden Pallet
Handling Used Wooden Pallets What is it ?
Used pallets come from the recycling sector and the circular economy. Each pallet is collected from partners, customers and suppliers, who have themselves received these pallets. They generally cannot reuse them for their own activities so they call on us to collect and recondition them. On receipt at the processing depot, the pallets are unloaded onto distribution areas.
Consequently, qualified operators sort them individually according to:
- the size (1/4 pallet, 1/2 pallet, pallet 80X120, 100X120 etc.)
- characteristics (light, 1/2 heavy, heavy)
- the quality level (very good condition, good condition, to be repaired or destroyed).
The Used wooden Pallet Choice
Used pallets are classified according to the main size families (see below). This being excepted for the standardized models type Pallet Europe or pallet CP, there are thousands of different models in wooden pallet.
1/4 (quarter euro size) Pallet outer Dimension 400X600
Pallet with blocks, 2 entries, overhanging or grazing

1/2 Pallet size 600X1000 Industry

Light pallet for loads up to 250kg
1/2 heavy pallet for loads up to 750 kg

EPAL pallet Grade B The 2nd choice, is of classic used quality, it and a palette that has already been used several times. rather grey - black color.
Important : The repair of European pallets is subject to membership and approval either by the EPAL (European Association based in Germany) or by the UIC (UIC Pallet, European Railway Association). Depending on the volumes repaired, approved repairers are audited once a month. During this audit, the quality of the repair and also the raw materials are checked and must correspond to the specifications. Note that the nails (steel nails) are standardized. A compliance mark is engraved on the head of the nail.
The pallets 80X120 (not standard) can also be sorted according to the number of boards present on the tray. In this way, if you have packaging requirements, increasing the minimum number of boards will reduce the gap between the boards.
Pallet 100X120 Industry size
Perimeter pallet, with 5 runners
There are several names depending on the region of the 100X120 pallets with 5 skids, such as perimeter pallet, framed pallet, industry pallet, etc.
The size 1000X1200 (mm) is the most used in England with 5 soles and is the standard size with the boards on the 1000 mm side.
On the other hand, the 100X120 format is widely used in continental Europe by industry and beverage producers (water, soft drinks, beer). Originally the boards of the tray were on the 120 side but this pallet was gradually replaced by the English model offering a de facto standardization.

ISPM15 Compliance and Drying
You export your products? ISPM15 treatment is mandatory for all shipments on wood packaging and pallets. We provide you with a certificate for customs clearance.
Important : The ISPM15 treatment does not dry pallets and wooden packaging. To avoid any risk of mould and other aesthetic disorders on your pallets, we strongly advise you to go through an additional drying cycle (read our article).
Conditions of use
Storage conditions
Used wooden pallets do not require special storage conditions. You can store indoors or outdoors according to your quality requirements. However, if mechanical drying has been carried out, it is strongly recommended to store the pallets indoors or sheltered from bad weather to maintain a low humidity level.
When loaded with your products, they can be stored sheltered or outdoors depending entirely on the protection and weather sensitivity of your products.
Handling conditions
New pallets are handled with an electric or manual forklift truck or pallet truck.
The logistic handling of the pallet can be carried out according to the characteristics by 2 sides ( pallets 2 entries) for by the 4 sides (pallets 4 entries).
For manual handling, we strongly recommend the use of suitable gloves and safety shoes. Be sure to comply with the regulations on the wearing of personal protective equipment during manual operation.
Precautions for use
The precautions for use are only associated with your handling conditions and the condition of the soil during transport. If you hit a pallet with the forks of a forklift truck, the forks can seriously damage the structure and alter the load resistance conditions.
When handling by hand, the use of suitable safety gloves is mandatory to prevent splinters and cuts.
Quality of second-hand pallets
Depending on the need, used pallets are repaired by replacing broken parts with either new or reusable parts.
Used pallets that no longer meet the quality requirements during sorting are then excluded.
Classified as non-compliant, they are crushed and follow the energy recycling process.
