Half pallet

A half pallet has half the EPAL 1 footprint: 800 × 600 mm. EPAL lists two: the wooden EPAL 6, 144 mm high with a 750 kg safe working load, and the EPAL 7, 163 mm high with steel brackets and a 500 kg safe working load. Both are used as display pallets.

Two on one

Two half pallets sit side by side on one EPAL 1 footprint. That lets retailers build mixed displays on a full pallet and split them on the shop floor.

The EPAL 7 also uses 6 steel brackets and 21 rivets, which is why it has only 3 blocks.

In North America

Half pallets that arrive with retail displays are small, light and easy to stack, but few North American buyers ask for them. Sell them as a separate line rather than mixing them into an EPAL 1 lot.
