Built for continuity

At IPP, load carriers are part of a service, not a standalone product. Every pallet or box is delivered, collected, inspected, repaired, and redeployed through our circular pooling system.

That means fewer disruptions, consistent quality, and less operational hassle, trip after trip.

Instead of worrying about damaged carriers, shortages, or returns, you benefit from reliable availability when and where you need it, standardised quality across markets and partners, and predictable performance that keeps goods moving efficiently through your supply chain.

 

Wood and plastic – pooled with purpose

Different supply chains place different demands on load carriers. That is why IPP rents both wood and plastic pallets within the same managed, circular system.

The main types of pallets are wooden and plastic pallets, available in several standard sizes. The most common formats include the Euro pallet (1200 x 800 mm), UK/industrial pallet (1200 x 1000 mm), half pallet (800 x 600 mm) and quarter pallet (600 x 400 mm).

Wooden pallets are cost-effective and versatile, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. Plastic pallets offer advantages in flows with specific durability, hygiene or operational requirements, including food and pharmaceutical applications. By pooling both materials, IPP helps customers select the right load carrier for each use case while keeping assets in circulation and reuse for as long as possible.

What are the different types of pallets?

Wooden pallets

IPP wooden pallets

A cost-effective, versatile choice for high-volume flows across industries, IPP’s wooden pallets are made from certified sustainable timber (FSC® / PEFC™), built for durability, and maintained through repair and reuse. They remain in circulation for years before being responsibly converted to biomass at end of life.

 

Plastic pallets
