Pallet sizes side by side

11 pallet standards with footprint, height, weight and their count in the three units most people load. In a 40ft container the 1165×1165 (AU) covers the most floor, 96.0%, and the EUR1 the least, 84.9%. Published heights run from 128 mm (48×20 half pallet) to 162 mm (EUR2).

Largest footprint first. "Varies" means no single height or weight is published for that size. On a phone, area, height and weight are on each pallet's own page.
