Because the footprint is fixed, the decision on this page is about construction rather than size. Start with the journey: an internal move, a one-way outbound delivery and a closed-loop return each point at a different build. Then check the equipment the pallet has to pass through, because racking, conveyors and automated handling are the constraints that rule options out.
Timber
Grades, medium legger, lightweight legger, VMF and two-way builders and yank builds, all in the same 1200 x 1000 mm footprint.
Plastic
Open-deck and closed-deck 1200 x 1000 mm pallets on nesting feet or runners, including rimmed versions, for wipe-clean and closed-loop handling.
Paper
A honeycomb board 1200 x 1000 mm pallet where the lightest possible single-trip base is the priority.
Metal
Steel and aluminium 1200 x 1000 mm pallets for environments where timber and plastic are unsuitable.
Entry, deck and base on this footprint
Four-way entry is the norm on 1200 x 1000 mm and is what most mixed-fleet sites should specify. Two-way records exist in both timber and steel and are listed explicitly, so you never have to infer entry from the name.
Deck layout follows the load: closed and close-boarded decks support small, soft or unstable goods, while open decks and open-boarded tops suit crated or banded loads and shed debris more easily. Nesting-foot plastic pallets stack inside one another when empty, which is worth checking if empty-return storage is tight.

Frequently asked questions
- What size is a UK standard pallet?
- 1200 x 1000 mm. It is the most widely used footprint in British warehousing and distribution, and every product on this page shares it.
- Do you supply the UK standard footprint in anything other than timber?
- Yes. The same 1200 x 1000 mm footprint is listed in plastic, in honeycomb paper and in steel and aluminium, alongside the timber range.
- Are used 1200 x 1000 mm pallets available?
- Used UK standard timber pallets are listed on this page. Availability of used stock varies, so our sales team confirms it when quoting.
- Which UK standard pallets are two-way entry?
- Two-way builders and yank-style timber pallets, and a two-way steel pallet, are all listed as separate records. Everything else on this page is listed as four-way.
- Is a 1200 x 1000 mm pallet the same as an American pallet?
- No. The 48 x 40 inch American footprint is 1219 x 1016 mm and is a different pallet. Ask us if you need that footprint specifically rather than assuming the UK standard will substitute.
- Will these pallets fit my racking and conveyors?
- Tell us the racking type, beam spacing, conveyor and any automated handling before you order. We confirm suitability against the exact record being quoted rather than assuming it from the footprint.
- What details should I send with a quote request?
- Send the footprint in millimetres, the condition you want, the quantity, the delivery postcode and the date you need them on site. Tell us about racking, conveyors, automated handling, hygiene or export at the same time. Our sales team confirms the exact specification, availability, price and lead time before you commit.
