This download has three pallet blocks: the Euro pallet of 1200 x 800 x 144 mm, the industrial pallet of 1200 x 1000 x 162 mm and the North American GMA stringer pallet of 48 x 40 in (1219 x 1016 mm). Each one comes in DWG and DXF with a plan and a front elevation in millimetres, for example IND_EURO_PALLET_1200X800_PLAN and IND_EURO_PALLET_1200X800_ELEV.
Euro pallet CAD block, 1200 x 800 mm
The Euro pallet follows EN 13698-1 and the pallet association data sheet: 11 boards, 9 blocks and 78 nails. The top deck has five boards, three of 145 mm and two of 100 mm, laid on three cross boards of 800 x 145 mm, with three bottom boards underneath. All boards are 22 mm thick and the blocks are 78 mm high, which gives the 144 mm overall height. The plan shows the blocks under the deck as hidden lines, and the elevation shows the long side with its three blocks.
Industrial pallet drawing, 1200 x 1000 mm
The industrial pallet follows EN 13698-2: 1200 x 1000 x 162 mm with 17 boards, 9 blocks and 133 nails. As on the official drawing, nine top boards run across the 1000 mm side, three boards run along the 1200 mm side, the blocks are 95 mm high and the base is a perimeter frame. The board widths of 110 mm on top and 120 mm for the bearer boards were derived from the spacing on that drawing, so take them as indicative.
GMA pallet block, 48 x 40 in
The GMA pallet is a stringer pallet with three notched stringers, seven top deck boards and five bottom deck boards. It is drawn 5.5 in (140 mm) high, the low end of the 5.5 to 6 in range quoted for this pallet. There is no open data sheet for it, so the board widths (5.5 in lead boards and 3.5 in inner boards), the 3/4 in deck thickness, the 1.5 x 4 in stringers and the 9 in notches are common values that vary between suppliers. Check them against the pallets you actually receive.
Using the pallet blocks in a warehouse layout
The outlines of the Euro and industrial pallets are fixed by standard, so they can go straight into a layout. Use them to check how many loads fit on a beam level of the pallet racking block, or to size a pick face and a staging lane at the dock. Hidden lines sit on the A-HIDN layer, so you can switch them off on a crowded plan.
