Australia Standard Pallets

Australia Standard Pallets

Australia Standard Pallets are square hardwood pallets which are standard in Australia and non-standard anywhere else in the world.

They are 1165 mm by 1165 mm in size and fit perfectly in the RACE (container) of the Australian railways. They are ill-suited for the standard 20-foot and 40-foot ISO containers used around the globe.

Well-known and utilised Australian Pallet manufacturers include Chep, which is an Australian company that is found all over the globe, utilising the local standard sizes of pallets; Loscam, which is a subsidiary of the giant General Electric Corporation from the United States; and Pink Pallets, which is a privately-owned business based in South East Queensland. Chep and Loscam primarily hire out pallets - the client is charged per pallet per day. Pink Pallets are manufacturers of standard and non standard pallets for industry and also recycle used pallets for the environmentally conscious user. Pink Pallets sell their products rather than hiring them.
