Planning Pallets for Container Shipments

Container pallet planning starts with usable cargo space and the complete packed unit dimensions. Outside pallet size alone does not determine fit, especially where goods overhang or protective cases add width. Share the container and cargo plan with the packing team before ordering standard or bespoke bases.

Your specification.

Include handling inside the container

Describe pallet-truck or forklift access, load height and any stacking restriction. Timber bracing needs appropriate treatment checks where regulated, while restraint needs its own loading assessment. Confirm the vehicle and container payload constraints through the responsible transport parties rather than treating pallet capacity as the shipment limit.
