European (Euro) Pallets in Austin, TX
Euro pallets are the international standard for European trade — and for Austin businesses that work with European suppliers, import European goods, or operate machinery sized for European pallet dimensions, having access to a reliable local source matters. MS Pallets supplies EPAL-standard Euro pallets to Central Texas businesses with fast turnaround and competitive pricing.
What Is a Euro Pallet?
The Euro pallet — also called the EUR pallet or EPAL pallet — is a block-style wood pallet measuring 1200mm x 800mm (approximately 47.2″ x 31.5″). It’s the dominant pallet standard across Europe and is governed by the European Pallet Association (EPAL), which sets strict quality and construction requirements.
Euro pallets are recognizable by their nine-block construction, which provides four-way forklift entry and exceptional load stability. They’re built to a consistent, interchangeable standard — meaning a Euro pallet from one supplier performs identically to one from another when both are EPAL-certified.
Who Needs Euro Pallets in Austin?
Euro pallets are the right choice for businesses that:
- Import products from European manufacturers packaged on Euro-size pallets
- Export goods to European markets where Euro pallets are the expected standard
- Operate racking systems, conveyor lines, or automated equipment dimensioned for 1200x800mm pallets
- Work with European logistics partners who require Euro pallet compatibility
Euro Pallets vs. GMA Pallets — What’s the Difference?
The most common pallet in the US is the GMA stringer pallet at 48″ x 40″ (1219mm x 1016mm) — slightly larger than the Euro pallet and built differently. Where GMA pallets use stringers (three parallel boards running lengthwise), Euro pallets use a nine-block construction that allows entry from all four sides and underneath. For operations that run both domestic and international supply chains, it’s common to stock both.
New and Reconditioned Euro Pallets Available
MS Pallets can supply Euro pallets new or reconditioned depending on your application and budget. Reconditioned Euro pallets meet the same dimensional standard as new and are a cost-effective option for businesses where pallet aesthetics or strict certification aren’t required.
