Pallet Library
The Pallet Library is your catalog of available pallet types. LOP comes pre-loaded with eight standard pallet types used in international logistics. You can also create custom pallet types to match your specific warehouse or customer requirements.
Standard Pallet Types
LOP includes the following standard pallet types out of the box:
| Code | Name | Dimensions (L x W) | Platform Height | Max Stack Height | Max Payload |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EUR | Euro Pallet | 1200 x 800 mm | 144 mm | 1800 mm | 1500 kg |
| EUR2 | Euro Pallet 2 | 1200 x 1000 mm | 144 mm | 1800 mm | 1500 kg |
| EUR3 | Euro Pallet 3 | 1000 x 1200 mm | 144 mm | 1800 mm | 1500 kg |
| GMA | GMA (North America) | 1219 x 1016 mm | 150 mm | 1800 mm | 1134 kg |
| ASIA | Asia Standard | 1100 x 1100 mm | 150 mm | 1800 mm | 1500 kg |
| AUS | Australian Standard | 1165 x 1165 mm | 150 mm | 1800 mm | 1500 kg |
| HALF | Half Pallet | 800 x 600 mm | 144 mm | 1200 mm | 500 kg |
| QTR | Quarter Pallet | 600 x 400 mm | 144 mm | 1000 mm | 250 kg |
Each pallet type also defines an overhang allowance — the maximum distance an item can extend beyond the pallet edge (typically 0–50 mm).
Pallet Properties
Every pallet type in the library has the following properties:
- Code — short identifier (e.g., EUR, GMA)
- Name — descriptive label
- Platform Length and Width — the usable surface area in mm
- Platform Height — the height of the pallet structure itself (boards + stringers), in mm
- Max Stack Height — the maximum total height of items stacked on the pallet, measured from the pallet surface
- Max Payload — maximum total weight of items on the pallet, in kg
- Overhang Allowance — how far items may extend past the pallet edge, in mm
- Stackable — whether loaded pallets can be stacked on top of each other in the container
- Max Stack Weight — if stackable, the maximum weight that can be placed on top of this loaded pallet
Selecting Active Pallets
Before you can use a pallet type in the Palletize Panel or Palletize All, you need to mark it as active:
- Go to the Containers page from the left sidebar
- Switch to the Pallets tab (next to the Containers tab)
- Check the checkbox next to each pallet type you want to use
Your active pallet selection is saved in your browser and persists across sessions. You can change it at any time.
Only active pallet types appear in the Palletize Panel dropdown and are considered by Palletize All. If you do not see a pallet type in the editor, check that it is activated in the Pallets tab.
Custom Pallets
To create a custom pallet type:
- Go to the Containers page and switch to the Pallets tab
- Click + Add Pallet Type
- Enter the pallet's code, name, dimensions, weight limits, and other properties
- Click Save
Custom pallets appear alongside the standard types in the library and can be activated and used in exactly the same way.
