CP pallets

CP pallets are a series of nine pallet types, CP1 to CP9, that EPAL now lists among its load carriers. They come in five footprints from 760 × 1140 mm to 1300 × 1100 mm and two heights, 138 mm and 156 mm, and each carries a CP type marking.

Telling them apart

Three types share 1140 × 1140 mm: CP3, CP8 and CP9. Height separates CP3 (138 mm) from the other two (156 mm). CP8 and CP9 share footprint and height, but EPAL lists 12 blocks and 28 boards for the CP8 against 9 blocks and 24 boards for the CP9. The CP type marking on the block settles it.

What we do not show

EPAL's CP pages list dimensions, board, block and nail counts and markings, but not weights or safe working loads. We leave those blank rather than estimate.
