Frequently asked
What should I consider first?+
Nestable, stackable and rackable describe different behavior. A pallet may support more than one behavior, but only the documented construction and rated load condition should drive selection.
What information should the buyer confirm?+
Empty-return nesting; Loaded block stacking; Beam-rack support; Deck and base construction; Forklift, pallet truck and conveyor interface.
How should loading or packing quantities be used?+
Use an applicable supplier load reference or a model based on the actual packed, nested, folded, cartoned or palletised configuration. A rough volume estimate is planning guidance only, not an authoritative loading count.
