Pallets – A Fundamental Element of Logistics
Pallets are a fundamental element of logistics, playing a key role in the transportation and storage of goods. Due to their simplicity and functionality, they enable efficient management of warehouse space and facilitate the movement of products between different locations. Interestingly, pallets are used in almost every industry, from food and pharmaceuticals to construction.
The versatility of wooden pallets makes them indispensable in global supply chains. Additionally, thanks to standardization, goods can be easily transported between countries and continents, significantly streamlining logistics processes. Pallets are not only a work tool but also an element that helps reduce transportation and storage costs.
Thanks to their versatility, pallets are used in various industries. They serve as a universal tool for managing large quantities of goods, and their modularity allows easy adaptation to the specific needs of a given industry.

Types of pallets
There are many types of pallets available on the market, each with its own unique features and applications. The most popular are wooden pallets, known for their low cost and high availability. They are widely used in many industries, and their main advantage is the ease of repair. However, due to their weight and susceptibility to moisture, they may be less durable over long-term use.
An alternative to wooden pallets is plastic pallets, which are more resistant to moisture and chemicals. They are lighter and more durable than wooden ones, making them ideal for use in the food and pharmaceutical industries. However, their downside is the higher purchase cost and the difficulty of repairing them in case of damage.
Another, less popular type of pallet is the metal pallet. These are highly durable and resistant to extreme conditions, which is why they are often used in heavy industry. Metal pallets are the most expensive of the available types, but their longevity makes them a long-term investment.
Application of pallets in logistics and industry
Pallets play a key role in logistics and industry, enabling efficient organization of transportation and storage of goods. They make the loading and unloading process faster, and products can be easily moved between different points. Pallets are a standard in warehouses, where they facilitate the segregation and storage of goods on a large scale.
In international transport, pallets are indispensable. Thanks to standardized dimensions, such as Euro pallets, it is possible to make efficient use of space in containers and trucks. This helps reduce transportation costs and minimizes the risk of product damage during transit.
In the food and pharmaceutical industries, wooden pallets also serve a protective function, ensuring hygienic storage of products. In these sectors, plastic pallets are often used, as they are easier to disinfect and more resistant to contamination than wooden pallets.
Standards and pallet dimensions
One of the key aspects in logistics is pallet standardization, which allows for their seamless use in international transport. The most popular standard is the Euro pallet with dimensions of 1200 x 800 mm. Its standardization makes it compatible with most warehouse and transport systems, significantly facilitating logistical processes. Euro pallets are widely used in Europe and meet specific quality standards.
In addition to Euro pallets, there are also pallets of other dimensions available on the market, such as industrial pallets with larger sizes (120 x 100), which are used in heavier industries. The choice of appropriate wooden pallet dimensions depends primarily on the specifics of the goods and the transport requirements of a given company. It is important to check before purchasing whether the selected dimensions will fit the logistical system.
120×100 cm pallets are popular in heavy industry, where larger dimensions allow for the transport of heavier goods. They provide greater stability in warehouses.
120×80 cm pallets are the standard in Europe and facilitate international transport. Thanks to the standardization of their dimensions, they are compatible with various logistics systems.
Custom pallets are made to order and tailored to the individual needs of a company. They are ideal for transporting unusual loads.
Recycling and sustainability of pallets
Nowadays, increasing emphasis is placed on sustainability, and pallets are no exception. Wooden pallets, being a natural product, are relatively easy to recycle. Used pallets can be processed into new pallets or fuel materials, reducing their environmental impact. Recycling wooden pallets is becoming more popular in the logistics industry, especially as it helps reduce waste.
Plastic pallets also have their environmental benefits. Although more difficult to recycle than wooden pallets, they can be used for longer periods due to their durability. Additionally, plastic pallets made from recycled materials are increasingly available, further reducing their environmental impact.
With growing environmental awareness, many companies are opting to reuse or recycle pallets. Investing in longer-lasting pallets, such as plastic or metal, can be both more sustainable and cost-effective in the long run. Recycling not only helps the environment but also leads to real savings for businesses.
Pallet prices on the market
Pallet prices on the market can vary depending on the material they are made from and the region. Wooden pallets are the cheapest, with prices ranging from a few to several dozen PLN per piece, depending on quality and condition (new or used). Plastic pallets are significantly more expensive due to their greater durability and longer lifespan, with prices starting from several dozen PLN and reaching up to several hundred PLN per piece.
The cost of metal pallets is the highest, but this is due to their exceptional durability and resistance to external conditions. Metal pallets are typically used in heavy industry, where strength and longevity are essential. Investing in more expensive pallets, however, can bring long-term savings through repeated use and fewer repairs.
