Nine guides, written by people who actually grade pallets.

No gated PDFs, no lead-capture walls on the content, no thousand-word introductions before the answer. Each of these exists because we got asked the same question enough times to write it down properly.

Warehouse interior with pallets sorted by type — natural wood, blue pooled units, black plastic and EPAL stamped stacks — SegregationSorted by type, not by convenience. Pooled units go back to the pool; plastic runs a separate stream entirely.

Pallet load capacity: static, dynamic and racked, and why the third one matters

Three numbers, and the one people quote is almost never the one that matters. Racked capacity is typically a third of static — and racking is where pallets fail.
