Good afternoon,

We have started importing from the goo old USA and we have come across an issue with the pallets that are on container.

Does anyone have any experience with these pallet sizes and if they have purchased a US size pallet truck to move these pallet sizes.

Thanks in advance

Jo

We've had issues with non European standard pallets in our SC Network being 5cm shorter on length and 5cm short on width.
We banned inter unit supply of these pallets, have to palletise to the European standard if exporting to Europe.
The smaller pallets means the product over hangs (causing damages) and means less surface area in pallet racking systems (object fall from height risk)
