EPAL CP5 pallet

Dimensions and ratings

Loads specified to the CP footprint. EPAL's CP pages list dimensions, board, block and nail counts and markings only. Its floor area is 0.87 m² (9.3 sq ft).

Footprint in context

At 760 × 1140 mm, the CP5 covers 90% of the floor area of an EPAL 1 and 70% of a 48 × 40 in pallet. Its sides are 29.9 and 44.9 inches. Of the ten containers and trailers in our tables, the 53 ft domestic high cube container takes the most, 41, and the 20 ft reefer container the fewest, 14. The 40 ft high cube reefer container uses its floor best with this pallet, at 98.4%.

Construction notes

• EPAL's CP pages do not publish a weight or safe working load, so none is shown here.

Load counts

Computed by our engine from each container's published inside dimensions. The count with clearance leaves 100 mm of length and 50 mm of width free. How we compute this.
