Chemical Pallets
Chemical pallets or CP pallets for moving barrels with liquids, bags and octabins are sturdy pallets that are intended for multiple uses in both the transport and storage of your goods. The new variants are suitable for export outside the EU because they are provided as standard with an ISPM15 treatment that meets the phytosanitary requirements of the ISPM-15 directive. CP pallets are, as stated, high-quality and strong pallets that we offer in various dimensions and carrying capacities. Due to the standardisation of wood dimensions, CP pallets are attractively priced and suitable for pooling. Chemical pallets are mainly used in the chemical and plastic industry. In our range, you will find 9 different versions in both new and used CP pallets. These wooden pallets have a standard designation and are known as CP-1 to CP-9. The designs are different with regard to the dimensions and/or the constructions of these wooden pallets. These pallets can all easily be moved with the use of forklift trucks and pallet trucks.
Chemical Pallets Explained
CP1 and CP6 pallets are usually used for transporting and storing bags and boxes. The external dimensions of these two CP pallets are 1200x1000mm. But the main difference between the CP1 and CP6 pallets is the lower deck. The CP1 has 3 slides and can be approached from 4 sides with a pump truck or forklift while the CP6 has an all-around lower deck and can therefore also be approached from 4 sides with a pump truck or forklift. Thanks to this all-around lower deck, the load is more evenly distributed on the pallet. The CP6 can, therefore, be stacked better, whereby the return transport of empty CP1 pallets, in particular, is more cost-effective because you can then transport these pallets nested.
The CP3 and CP9 pallets both have an outside dimension of 1140x1140mm and are particularly suitable for barrels, octabins and Big Bags. The CP3 has 3 bottom slides and the CP9 has a bottom deck that we call a "cross deck". With a cross deck, you have 3 boards mounted under the bobbins and underneath another 3 boards crosswise underneath for extra strength. The CP9 pallet is, therefore, a lot higher than the CP3 pallet.
The CP8 is also the same as the CP3 and CP9 pallet in terms of external dimensions, but further construction is totally different from these two. The difference here is directly in the upper deck. The CP8 pallet has a hole in the upper deck through which this pallet can, for example, be used for Big Bags with unloading. Because of this special upper deck, this pallet also has more intermediate shelves, bobbins and bottom slides. The CP8 pallet, therefore, has a lower deck that consists of 4 slides and you don't see that often with standardised pallets.
The CP4 and CP7 pallets are very suitable for transporting bags. The CP4 is a version with 3 slides. The CP7 pallet, on the other hand, has a cross deck bottom deck consisting of 6 bottom slides. As we also see with the CP9 model.
The CP5 pallet has a standard size of 1140x760mm and is often used for transport in sea containers. The lower deck of the CP5 pallet consists of 3 slides.
The CP2 pallet has a load capacity of 1000kg and a standard size of 1200x800x138mm. Among the chemical pallets, this is a lighter alternative to the Euro EPAL Pallets. This CP pallet is provided with an overhang and the bottom deck of the CP2 pallet consists of 3 slides.
