Due to so many unkown considerations, defining tare weight (empty weight) of pallets precisely is beyond the scope of this text. Considerations not the least of which are regional differences, varying national safety standards, designs and types of materials used etc. The figures shown below should therefore be used as a guide only and typically cover weights for pallets designed to accept safe loads of from 500 kg (1,102 lbs) to 1,000 kg (2,204 lbs) per pallet. The lower figure of course being for the lower weight capacity and the higher figure for the larger capacity. The obvious situation where heavyweight pallets are used for lighter loads should also be considered as this may be a function of local work practices unique to a particular storage facility.
Wooden pallet 15 kg to 22 kg
Steel pallet 17 kg to 28 kg
Plastic pallet 7 kg to 14 kg
Heavy duty steel folding pallet cage or stillage 35 kg to 50 kg
