Pallets

Find the answers you need below. If you have any additional questions, our customer service team is always here to support you.

Question 1: Which euro pallets are best for export and international freight transport?
EPAL euro pallets are the ideal choice for export and international freight transport. Our premium wooden EPAL pallets meet the highest international quality standards and are officially certified for cross-border logistics. These standardized euro pallets ensure compatibility with all common handling systems worldwide and comply with ISPM 15 phytosanitary regulations required for export. At karton.eu, you can order new euro pallets directly from stock with Europe-wide delivery and complimentary standard shipping throughout mainland Germany, ensuring your export operations run smoothly without delay.

Question 2: What is the difference between standard euro pallets and EPAL high rack pallets?
While standard euro pallets are designed for general warehousing and transport applications, EPAL high rack pallets are specifically engineered for use in high-bay warehouse systems. High rack euro pallets undergo more rigorous quality control and testing to ensure they can safely withstand the increased loads and stresses encountered in automated high-rack storage systems at heights of up to 10 meters or more. Both types are available in premium quality at karton.eu, with the high rack variant offering enhanced load-bearing capacity and stricter dimensional tolerances for safe automated handling in modern logistics facilities.

Question 3: How can I protect palletized goods from weather and moisture during outdoor storage?
For effective weather protection of palletized goods, we recommend using PE cover film or pallet hoods designed specifically for outdoor applications. Our pallet cover film provides weather-resistant protection against rain, dust, and moisture, while pallet covering sheets offer robust shielding for extended storage periods. PE cover film is particularly effective as a pallet protection film due to its water-repellent properties. For complete encapsulation, shrink hoods for pallets create a tight, protective seal. All pallet accessories are available from stock at karton.eu with fast delivery, helping you safeguard your inventory effectively regardless of storage conditions.

Question 4: What are shrink hoods for pallets and how do I use them correctly?
Shrink hoods for pallets are LDPE shrink film covers that are placed over palletized goods and then heated with a shrink gun to create a tight, protective wrap. To use them correctly, simply slip the appropriately sized LDPE shrink hood over your loaded pallet, ensuring complete coverage. Then, apply heat evenly using a professional shrink gun—such as the proven Ripack shrink gun available in our range—moving systematically around the pallet. The film shrinks uniformly, creating firm pallet packaging that secures loads, protects against dust and moisture, and prevents load shifting during transport. This method is ideal for professional pallet securing in logistics and warehousing operations.

Question 5: Do you offer bulk discounts for large orders of euro pallets and pallet accessories?
Yes, we offer competitive pricing and bulk discounts for euro pallets and pallet accessories at karton.eu.

Question 6: What pallet accessories do I need for safe and secure pallet transport?
For safe pallet transport, we recommend a combination of load securing and protection accessories. Essential items include pallet nets or load securing nets made from elastic polyethylene for flexible load stabilization, protective film for pallets or pallet protection film to guard against dust and moisture, and shrink hoods or pallet cover film for weather protection. Additionally, pallet caps and stacking protection pyramids prevent stacking damage during multi-level transport. Our comprehensive range of pallet accessories is available from stock with reliable Europe-wide delivery and free standard shipping throughout mainland Germany, enabling you to create a complete load securing solution tailored to your logistics requirements.

Question 7: How do pallet caps and stacking protection pyramids prevent damage during transport?
Pallet caps and stacking protection pyramids serve as crucial pallet transport protection by preventing stacking damage. Pallet caps are placed on top of loaded pallets to provide a protective barrier that prevents upper pallets from crushing goods below during stacked storage or transport. Stacking protection pyramids are specialized non-stacking markers that clearly indicate when pallets should not be stacked, preventing accidental overloading and product damage. Both solutions are particularly valuable in freight transport and warehouse operations where vertical space optimization must be balanced with product safety. These stacking protection systems are available at karton.eu as part of our complete range of professional pallet accessories.
