One-way pallet or EUR pallet — which should you choose?

Two completely different pallet types, two different use cases. We help you decide which is the better choice for your needs.

EUR pallets and one-way pallets are the two most common pallet types on the Hungarian market. Although both are used for palletized handling, their use cases, prices and lifespans differ significantly.

EUR pallet

  • Size: standard 1200 × 800 mm
  • Lifespan: designed for repeated use, repairable
  • Weight: 20–25 kg
  • Load capacity: 1500 kg static load
  • Use: warehousing, international transport, exchangeable system
  • Price: higher, but pays off in the long term

One-way pallet

  • Size: variable (typical sizes: 80×120 cm, 100×120 cm); custom sizes are also available through partner production
  • Lifespan: for single use or a few uses
  • Load capacity: 500–1200 kg, depending on size (80×120: 500–1000 kg, 100×120: 700–1200 kg)
  • Use: export, one-off transport, where pallet exchange is not needed
  • Price: significantly cheaper per unit

Which should you choose?

Choose an EUR pallet if you ship regularly, store goods, or work with international partners.

Choose a one-way pallet if you need it for one-off export, are cost-sensitive, or the pallet will not come back.
