Plastic Pallet 800×800 mm Square Pallet for Coils, Drums and Rolled Goods
The Plastic Pallet 800×800 mm Square Pallet is a robust, hygienic and reusable for the transport and storage of round, heavy and compact goods. It is particularly suitable for coils, drums, rolled goods, barrels, spools, cable reels, metal rolls and heavy industrial goods that need to be safely staged, stored or shipped on a compact footprint.
With its square format of 800×800 mm, open deck, three continuous runners and very high static load capacity of 10,000 kg, this pallet is a strong solution for industry, production, warehousing, export, internal transport and reusable processes. The design is particularly useful when heavy loads are not to be moved or temporarily stored on a classic Euro pallet, but on a compact, square and load-bearing plastic pallet.
The plastic pallet 10316 combines high stability with the typical advantages of plastic: it is moisture-resistant, splinter-free, hygienic, durable and suitable for recurring applications. Unlike wooden pallets, it produces no wood splinters, no loose nails and no material changes caused by moisture. This makes the pallet particularly suitable for companies looking for a clean, robust and process-safe alternative to wooden pallets.
Especially with round or rollable goods, the right pallet is an important part of the overall transport and storage solution. Coils, drums and rolled goods do not have a conventional flat standing surface. Depending on weight, diameter, surface and centre of gravity, they must be stored and transported in such a way that they cannot roll, tip or slip in an uncontrolled manner. The plastic pallet 800×800 mm provides a load-bearing basis for this and can be combined with additional securing elements, layer pads, anti-slip areas or custom solutions if required.

Why the 800×800 mm format is useful for coils, drums and rolled goods
The 800×800 mm format is compact, square and particularly well suited when the goods themselves have a round, cylindrical or almost square footprint. For drums, coils or rolled goods, a long pallet is often not required. What matters instead is a stable, load-bearing and easy-to-handle base that reliably supports the weight and can be integrated into storage and transport processes.
In many cases, a square pallet can be more practical than a classic 1200×800 mm pallet when the goods are compact but heavy. Especially for individual drums, metal coils, cable reels, spools or rolled goods, a smaller footprint can help save storage space and build transport units more efficiently. At the same time, the three runners ensure that the pallet remains easy to handle with a forklift or pallet truck.
The square design also supports a clear assignment between pallet and goods. When the pallet is used repeatedly for the same product type, standardised processes are created. This makes staging, temporary storage, picking, shipping preparation and return handling in reusable applications easier. For companies with recurring transport processes, this standardisation can be an important economic advantage.
What the three load capacity values mean
Several load capacity values are often specified for plastic pallets. These values must not be confused with one another, as they describe different load situations. For this plastic pallet 800×800 mm, the high static load capacity, the dynamic load capacity and the racking load capacity are particularly relevant.
Static load: 10,000 kg
The static load capacity of 10,000 kg applies in a stationary state, for example in block storage, when the pallet is evenly loaded and not moved. This value is exceptionally high for a plastic pallet in the 800×800 mm format. It makes the pallet particularly interesting for heavy, compact goods that need to be stored over a longer period of time.
Typical examples include heavy coils, filled drums, metal rolls, compact machine parts or other industrial goods with high mass on a small footprint. The key requirement is always the most even load distribution possible. Point loads, sharp edges or strongly one-sided loads must be assessed individually.
Dynamic load: 1,000 kg
The dynamic load capacity describes the maximum load when the pallet is being moved, for example with a forklift, pallet truck or material handling equipment. Additional forces act during transport. The pallet is lifted, moved, accelerated, braked and set down again. For this reason, the dynamic load capacity is lower than the static load capacity.
For practical use, this value is particularly important when the pallet is regularly moved, picked or loaded within the company. The dynamic load capacity of 1,000 kg provides a reliable basis for many industrial applications, but, as with any pallet, requires suitable load distribution and proper handling.
Rack load: 800 kg
The racking load capacity is decisive when the pallet is supported in a pallet rack on only two support lines. This situation differs significantly from block storage because the pallet is not supported across its full surface. The load is concentrated on the support areas in the rack.
The specified racking load capacity of 800 kg should therefore be understood as a specific value for suitable racking situations. Before use in high-bay racking, the rack type, support depth, load distribution, centre of gravity, pallet overhang and the specific goods should be checked. For heavy coils, drums or rolled goods, a technical assessment of the entire storage unit is recommended.
Open deck for lower weight and easier handling
The open deck of this plastic pallet 800×800 mm reduces its own weight compared with a fully closed deck surface. At the same time, the pallet remains robust and load-bearing. For many round goods or goods with point contact areas, an open deck is sufficient because the load does not necessarily need to rest across the full surface of the pallet.
An open deck can also offer advantages in terms of moisture, cleaning and ventilation. Water or dirt can drain away more easily than on closed surfaces. This is particularly relevant in storage areas where pallets are used repeatedly, cleaned or exposed to changing environments.
For very sensitive surfaces, smaller contact areas or goods with a particular risk of slipping, it can also be checked whether layer pads, anti-slip supports or a closed anti-slip version are useful. For such applications, the related plastic pallet 800×800 mm 10316C with anti-slip version can be an interesting alternative.
Three runners for stable support and good forklift handling
The base with three runners ensures a stable and easy-to-handle pallet construction. The runners distribute the load along the length of the pallet and allow safe handling with suitable material handling equipment. Especially with heavy goods, a stable base is important so that the pallet can be reliably guided when lifted and moved.
Three-runner pallets are established in many industrial applications because they offer a good combination of stability, handling and storage capability. However, when selecting a pallet, it should always be checked which equipment is used in the operation. Pallet trucks, forklifts, roller conveyors, racking systems and conveyor technology can place different requirements on the pallet base.
For recurring processes, it makes sense to consider the pallet, goods and material handling equipment together. A pallet may be technically very robust, but it must also fit the internal material flow. This includes handling routes, storage locations, stacking heights, transport routes, ramps, transfer points and the way goods are staged.
Ideal as a drum pallet, coil pallet and square pallet
In practice, the plastic pallet 800×800 mm can be used as a drum pallet, coil pallet or square pallet. These terms describe different application focuses, but refer to the same basic requirement: heavy or round goods need a compact, stable and reusable carrier solution.
Drum pallet for industrial containers
Drums and barrels are used in many industries, for example in chemicals, production, food processing, paints, coatings, raw materials, additives or technical liquids. A robust drum pallet must support high loads, resist moisture and remain reliable to handle in daily operations.
Plastic offers clear advantages over wood in this application. The pallet does not absorb water, does not splinter and is easier to clean. This is particularly valuable in areas with higher requirements for cleanliness, hygiene or recurring processes. At the same time, the pallet remains dimensionally stable and can be used multiple times.
Coil pallet for heavy round goods
Coils place special demands on storage and transport. Depending on material, width, diameter and weight, high point loads can occur. At the same time, round goods always carry the risk of moving or rolling if they are not sufficiently guided or secured.
The plastic pallet 800×800 mm can serve as a load-bearing base for coil applications. For sensitive or particularly heavy coils, the specific support surface should be checked. Depending on the application, additional inserts, anti-slip areas, supports or plastic V-blocks plastic V-blocks may be useful to position the round material in a more defined way.
Square pallet for rolled goods and compact load units
Rolled goods, spools, cable reels, film rolls or textile rolls often require a compact but load-bearing pallet. The 800×800 mm format offers an economical solution when the goods do not require the full surface area of a Euro pallet. This allows storage spaces to be used more efficiently and transport processes to be planned more compactly.
The square pallet is particularly interesting when recurring load units need to be built. A defined pallet format makes it easier to plan packaging, storage space, shipping, picking and return transport. In reusable processes, the pallet can be used again and again for the same product type.
Advantages over wooden pallets
Wooden pallets are widely used and sufficient for many applications. However, for heavy, recurring or moisture-sensitive processes, plastic pallets can offer clear advantages. Especially in export, industry, warehousing and reusable logistics, a robust plastic pallet is often the cleaner long-term solution.
- No wood splinters: Plastic is splinter-free and reduces the risk of injuries or product damage.
- No loose nails: There are no metal parts that can come loose or damage sensitive goods.
- Moisture-resistant: Plastic does not absorb water and remains dimensionally stable even in moist conditions.
- More hygienic: The pallet is easier to clean than wood and is better suited for clean storage areas.
- Reusable: The robust construction supports reusable processes and recurring transport operations.
- Export-friendly: Plastic pallets are not subject to ISPM 15 wood treatment.
- Dimensionally stable: The pallet does not change due to moisture in the same way as wood.
- Durable: When used properly, the pallet can be used over many cycles.
Export advantage: No ISPM 15 treatment as required for wooden pallets
An important advantage of plastic pallets in international shipping is that they are not made of wood. Wood packaging used in international goods transport may be subject to treatment and marking under ISPM 15. This includes, for example, heat treatment or fumigation of wood packaging material.
With plastic pallets, this wood treatment is not required because the material is not classified as conventional wood packaging. This can simplify export processes, help avoid delays and increase planning reliability. This advantage can be particularly relevant for companies with regular export shipments, sea freight, air freight or international supply chains.
Nevertheless, the complete packaging and export solution must always match the destination country, the goods and the applicable regulations. The plastic pallet does not replace an export compliance check, but it offers a robust and often more straightforward alternative to wooden pallets for international transport.
Material and manufacturing from a recycled mix based on polyolefins and other materials
The plastic pallet 10316 is manufactured from a recycled mix based on polyolefins and other materials. Polyolefins are proven plastics for industrial load carriers because they are robust, moisture-resistant and durable. Manufacturing by injection moulding enables reproducible geometry and a stable construction.
The closed material structure does not absorb water. As a result, the pallet does not change its weight or shape in moist conditions in the way wood can. This is an important advantage for storage areas, outdoor areas, export, production or humid environments.
Plastic pallets are particularly suitable for companies that plan recurring processes and value consistent quality. While wooden pallets can vary significantly depending on wood quality, moisture, condition and use, a plastic pallet remains much more reproducible in its geometry. This makes handling, stacking, packaging planning and process reliability easier.
Load securing and safe transport processes
For heavy and round goods, the pallet is only one component of the overall load securing concept. Coils, drums, rolled goods or barrels must be prepared and secured in such a way that they cannot roll, tip or slip in an uncontrolled manner during storage, internal transport and shipping.
The plastic pallet 800×800 mm provides a stable basis, but does not replace the necessary assessment of the entire securing concept. Decisive factors include weight, centre of gravity, friction values, support surface, packaging, strapping, lashing equipment, means of transport, transport route and type of loading.
As professional background, the established rules and guidance on load securing can be used here. For example, the VDI 2700 guideline on load securing on road vehicles provides relevant information. In addition, BG Verkehr provides information on load distribution and load securing.
For practical use, this means that the pallet must match the goods as well as the securing method. With round goods, anti-slip areas, strapping, form-fit securing, layer pads, storage prisms, wedges or special supports may be required. Plastic Union can support you in selecting suitable plastic pallets, accessories and custom solutions.
Application areas by industry
Steel trade, metalworking and coil storage
In the steel trade and metalworking, heavy coils, round material, semi-finished products, rolls and compact metal goods are frequently stored or transported. These goods can generate high loads on a small footprint. The plastic pallet 800×800 mm is suitable for such applications when a compact, load-bearing and reusable pallet is required.
Especially in recurring processes, the pallet can be used as a standardised load carrier. This improves overview in the warehouse, makes picking easier and ensures that components or material units are always staged on a defined carrier surface. For sensitive surfaces, additional supports or adapted securing elements can be checked.
Chemicals, raw materials and drum logistics
In chemicals, raw material processing and drum logistics, drums, barrels and containers are regularly moved, stored and shipped. Moisture resistance, stability and reusability are important requirements here. Plastic pallets offer the advantage that they do not splinter, do not swell and are easier to clean than wooden pallets.
The plastic pallet 800×800 mm is particularly useful when a single drum, a compact container or a heavy round load unit needs to be safely supported. For liquids, granulates, pastes, powders or technical raw materials, the pallet can form a stable basis within the packaging and transport process.
Film, paper, textiles and rolled goods
Rolled goods place special demands on storage and shipping. Film rolls, paper rolls, textile rolls or technical rolls can have sensitive surfaces and must not be damaged during transport. A robust plastic pallet can serve as a reusable carrier solution here.
Depending on the diameter and surface of the roll, an additional layer pad or anti-slip support may be useful. The aim is to create a clean, defined and repeatable packaging unit. The pallet provides the load-bearing base, while additional elements can protect the surface and stabilise the goods.
Mechanical engineering and industrial manufacturing
In mechanical engineering and industrial manufacturing, heavy components, round parts, rolls, drums, axles, housings or pre-assembled assemblies are often moved internally. A compact plastic pallet can help to stage components clearly and transport them between warehouse, production, assembly and shipping.
The plastic pallet 800×800 mm square pallet is particularly interesting when the component is compact but heavy. Thanks to its high static load capacity, it can support very heavy goods in block storage. At the same time, it remains suitable in the dynamic range for many internal transport processes.
Export, sea freight and international supply chains
For export, robust and standardised load carriers are particularly important. Packaging, pallet and load securing must work together so that the goods arrive safely at the recipient. In international shipping, plastic pallets offer the additional advantage that no ISPM 15 treatment is required as with wooden pallets.
The plastic pallet 800×800 mm can therefore be interesting for companies that regularly export heavy goods and are looking for a clean, reusable alternative to wood. Especially in recurring supply chains, a plastic pallet can help standardise packaging processes and reduce risks caused by damaged or moist wooden pallets.
Combination with accessories and custom solutions
Depending on the goods, the plastic pallet 800×800 mm can be combined with additional solutions. These include layer pads, anti-slip mats, anti-slip areas, strapping, securing wedges, pallet collars, pallet frames or individual plastic supports. Especially with round goods, a combination of load-bearing pallet and additional securing elements is often useful.
For coils, rolls or shafts, plastic V-blocks and storage supports may also be useful. They create defined support points and reduce uncontrolled rolling. This allows the pallet to be used as the load-bearing base, while the V-blocks or wedges guide the round material geometrically.
In addition to plastic pallets, Plastic Union also offers further products for transport, packaging and storage technology. This means the pallet can be considered as part of a complete solution if required. The specific application is always decisive: what is being transported, how heavy are the goods, which surface needs to be protected and how does the transport process work?
Difference compared with the anti-slip version 10316C
In addition to this standard version with open deck, there is a structurally similar version with a closed deck and riveted anti-slip plate. This version is available as the plastic pallet 800×800 mm 10316C anti-slip.
The anti-slip version can be useful when the goods have a particularly smooth surface or tend to slip during transport. This applies, for example, to certain drums, coils, rolled goods or compact industrial goods with low friction against the pallet surface. The standard version 10316 with open deck, on the other hand, is particularly interesting when a robust, lightweight and versatile square pallet is required.
Which version is more suitable depends on the application, goods, weight, surface, transport route and securing concept. For purely static storage, the standard pallet may be sufficient. For dynamic transport processes with a higher risk of slipping, the anti-slip version can offer additional advantages.

Frequently asked questions about the plastic pallet 800×800 mm
What is the plastic pallet 800×800 mm used for?
The plastic pallet 800×800 mm is used for the storage and transport of compact, heavy and often round goods. Typical applications include coils, drums, rolled goods, barrels, spools, cable reels and heavy industrial goods. Thanks to its square format, it is particularly suitable for load units that do not require a large standard pallet but need high load capacity.
Why is the pallet particularly suitable for coils and drums?
Coils and drums are often compact, heavy and round. They require a stable carrier surface and suitable securing against slipping, rolling or tipping. The plastic pallet 800×800 mm provides a robust base with high static load capacity and can, if required, be combined with anti-slip areas, layer pads, wedges or storage prisms.
What does the static load capacity of 10,000 kg mean?
The static load capacity describes the maximum load in a stationary state, for example in block storage. For this pallet, it is 10,000 kg. This value applies with suitable, even loading and proper use. For point loads, special loads or sensitive goods, the application should be checked individually.
Why is the dynamic load capacity lower than the static load capacity?
Additional forces act on the pallet and goods during transport. The pallet is lifted, moved, accelerated and braked. For this reason, the dynamic load capacity is lower than the static load capacity. The dynamic load capacity of this plastic pallet is 1,000 kg.
Can the plastic pallet be used in racking?
Yes, the pallet has a specified racking load capacity of 800 kg. However, use in racking always depends on the rack type, support situation, load distribution, centre of gravity and the specific goods. For heavy coils, drums or special loads, racking suitability should be checked in advance.
Is the pallet suitable for export?
Yes. Plastic pallets are particularly interesting for export because, unlike wooden pallets, they are not subject to ISPM 15 wood treatment. This can simplify international shipping processes. However, the specific export packaging must always match the goods, destination country and applicable regulations.
What material is the pallet made from?
The plastic pallet 10316 is manufactured from a recycled mix based on polyolefins and other materials. The material is robust, moisture-resistant, dimensionally stable and suitable for recurring industrial applications.
Is the pallet more hygienic than a wooden pallet?
Yes, plastic is splinter-free, does not absorb water and is easier to clean than wood. This makes the pallet particularly suitable for clean storage areas, production, export and recurring processes. Depending on the industry and application, additional cleaning requirements may apply.
Does the pallet have a rim?
No. This version has an open top deck without rim. This makes it flexible for different load units. If additional side containment or slip resistance is required, accessory solutions or the anti-slip version can be checked.
What advantages does the open top deck offer?
The open top deck reduces the pallet’s own weight and can improve ventilation as well as the drainage of water or dirt. For many round goods, an open support surface is sufficient because the goods do not rest across the full surface of the pallet.
What is the difference compared with the plastic pallet 10316C?
The 10316 is the standard version with an open top deck. The 10316C is a structurally similar version with a closed deck and riveted anti-slip plate. It can be useful when the goods are particularly at risk of slipping or when a closed, anti-slip surface is required.
Can the pallet be combined with layer pads or anti-slip mats?
Yes. Depending on the application, layer pads, anti-slip mats, anti-slip areas or other securing elements can be useful. This is particularly relevant for round, smooth or sensitive goods.
Can the pallet be used for rolled goods?
Yes. The plastic pallet 800×800 mm is suitable for various types of rolled goods, for example film rolls, paper rolls, textile rolls, cable reels or technical rolls. Depending on the surface and weight, it should be checked whether additional supports or securing elements are required.
