The standard pallet size in Australia is 1165 mm x 1165 mm, with 150 mm the average height. Pallets are available in various materials, including commonly used plastic or wood, and most makers conform to size in whichever material they use.
However, although Australia does have a countrywide standard, pallet size can still vary by industry. This is especially true in industries that rely on pallets and have an associated transport infrastructure set up.
Industries that commonly make extensive use of pallets include:
Pharmaceuticals
Chemicals
Food and beverages
Automotives
Even within these industries there is significant sizing variation, with pharmaceutical companies often preferring hygienic pallets measuring 1200 mm x 800 mm, while chemical suppliers tend to use 1300 mm x 1100 mm.
