A CP3 pallet is one of the nine standard pallet types defined by the Chemical Pallet (CP) system, which was developed by the European chemical industry to improve the handling and transportation of chemical goods.

• Dimensions: 1140 mm x 1140 mm (approx. 45 inches x 45 inches)

• Design: Square, four-way entry pallet

• Material: Typically made from wood (though plastic or composite versions may exist)

• Top Deck: Usually features 7 or 9 top boards (depending on manufacturer), with consistent spacing

• Bottom Deck: Perimeter base with 3 longitudinal stringers and bottom deck boards

• Entry: Forklift-accessible from all four sides

• Load Capacity: Suitable for heavy loads (up to 1500 kg static, 1000 kg dynamic, depending on construction quality)

• Primary Use: Designed for the transport and storage of drums, containers, and sacks, especially in the chemical and petrochemical industries

• ISPM 15 Compliant: When used for export, it is often heat-treated or fumigated to meet phytosanitary standards

• Benefits of wooden pallets – Goods do not slip very easily – The structure of the pallet is not affected by temperature – Wooden pallets can be repaired – Wooden pallets do not build up an electrostatic charge – Recyclable
