Area = length × width. Inch dimensions are divided by 144 for square feet; centimetres by 10,000 for square metres. This is outside area, not supported deck area.
Before this size changes hands
- Measure the actual length, width and height; say whether this size is uniform across the lot.
- Record deck arrangement, entry openings and any visible damage.
- Confirm ownership, permission, handling equipment and the receiving location’s requirements.
- Ask a qualified packaging professional about the actual load and supports. A footprint cannot establish load capacity.
A request is an enquiry. This page does not represent current stock or promise that a pallet of this size will be free.
