Using pallet

A 20-foot (6-meter) container can be loaded with 11 euro pallets or 9-10
standard pallets in one tier (in the picture).

A 40-foot (12-meter) container can load 23–24 euro pallets or 20–21
standard pallets in one tier (in the picure).

Wooden pallets must be strong enough to support the weight of the three
tiers.

The load on the pallet must not protrude beyond the edges of the pallet.

When crossing the border for wooden pallets, it is necessary to have a
stamp confirming phytosanitary treatment.
