General-purpose flat pallets for through transit of
goods - Principal dimensions and tolerances
1 Scope
This Standard specifies the plan sizes and tolerances, and other principal
dimensions and tolerances of the general-purpose flat pallets for through
transit of goods.
This Standard applies to the general-purpose flat pallets for through transit of
goods in highways, railways, and waterways.

GB/T 3716-2000 Pallets for materials handling - Vocabulary
GB/T 18354 Logistics terms
3 Terms and definitions
The terms and definitions established in GB/T 3716-2000 and GB/T 18354
and the following ones are applicable to this Standard.
3.1 Pallet plan size
Nominal plan view dimensions of pallet length and pallet width.
3.2 Length
Deck dimension in the direction of stringers or stringer-boards.
NOTE 1: If these members are not present, the length is the longer deck dimension.
NOTE 2: Pallet length is expressed first, followed by pallet width.
[GB/T 3716-2000, definition 10.1.1]
3.3 Width
Deck dimension at right angles to the length.
[GB/T 3716-2000, definition 10.1.2]
3.4 End
Vertical face of the pallet which corresponds to the width.
3.5 Side
Vertical face of the pallet which corresponds to the length.
3.6 Four-way pallet
Pallet permitting the entry of the fork arms of fork-lift trucks, pallet trucks and
pallet stackers from all four directions.
[GB/T 3716-2000, definition 3.4]
3.7 Two-way pallet
Pallet permitting the entry of the fork arms of fork-lift trucks, pallet trucks and
pallet stackers from two opposite directions only.
[GB/T 3716-2000, definition 3.3]
3.8 Partial four-way pallet
Pallet permitting four-way entry of the fork arms of fork-lift trucks and two-way
entry of the fork arms of pallet trucks and pallet stackers.
[GB/T 3716-2000, definition 3.5]
4 Pallet plan sizes and tolerances
4.1 Plan sizes
The pallet plan sizes are shown in Table 1.
NOTE: The dimension L3 of partial four-way pallets for fork-lift trucks may be up to 200mm.
Figure 3 -- Horizontal dimensions of entries and openings for side entry
into partial four-way pallets
5.3 Dimensions of bottom deck chamfers
Dimensions of bottom deck chamfers, where required for ease of handling
with pallet trucks, shall be as follows:
a) the chamfer face shall be 40°±5° from the horizontal;
b) the height of the vertical face of the chamfered member shall not exceed
16mm;
c) the maximum distance from the end of the chamfers to deck separating
members shall be 65mm.
5.4 Dimensions of pallet deck projections
Projections of pallets up to 65mm are known as lips; projections of 65mm or
longer are considered as wings.
5.5 Bearing surface of bottom decks
The minimum bearing surface of all pallets shall be 35% of the nominal
bottom deck plan dimension (pallet footprint).
5.6 Limits of diagonal distortion
The difference in length between the two diagonals of the pallet plan shall not
exceed 1% of the diagonal length.
5.7 Flatness
Vertical deviation from the target horizontal plane of the pallet deck shall not
exceed 7mm.
Intentional protrusions in the deck may exceed 7mm.
