Pallets

 11-07-2019

Correct pallet alignment in the container in order to optimally use its interior but in such manner that no batch of the load is damaged requires primarily maintaining the maximum limit of the permissible gross weight.

Container freights allow placement of pallets with load in stacks. This is why the maximum height of the load calculated with the pallet is to be observed. The following examples are provided for goods not exceeding the outline of the pallet.
