Grade A — Near-New
Basically new but devalued: lightly used, minimal wear, close to new at a lower price. For export, food and presentation loads.

Sustainable by design
Used First, Keeping Timber in Circulation
Buying used is the greenest pallet choice there is. Every reclaimed pallet we grade and reissue is one that didn't need new timber. We repair, reuse and recycle at every stage — recovering surplus pallets, reconditioning what can be saved and chipping the rest for reuse rather than landfill.
- Used first — around 80% of what we supply is reclaimed and graded.
- Buy-back & collection keeps your surplus pallets in circulation.
- Reconditioning extends pallet life and cuts demand for new timber.
- Zero pallet to landfill — 100% of recovered timber is reused or recycled.
Used pallet questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on grades, used vs new and buy-back. For more detail, read the full pallet guide.
What is the difference between Grade A, B and C used pallets?
It's a condition grade. Grade A is near-new — lightly used with minimal wear, close to new but cheaper. Grade B is a good, serviceable used pallet, sometimes with minor repairs — the everyday workhorse. Grade C is heavily used but still fully functional, the lowest-cost option for internal or one-way loads. We inspect and grade every used pallet so you get exactly the condition you pay for.
Do you sell used or new pallets?
Both, but we specialise in used. Around 80% of what we supply is quality used and reclaimed pallets graded A, B and C; the other 20% is new pallets, for hygiene-sensitive, presentation or guaranteed-spec loads.
Are used pallets as strong as new?
A sound Grade A or B used pallet performs to a similar standard as new for most loads, at a lower price — which is why used is the smart default for most buyers. Where a guaranteed new specification or hygiene is essential, we supply new pallets.
Do you sell new Euro (EPAL) pallets?
No. New EPAL Euro pallets can only be produced by EPAL-licensed and audited manufacturers, so we don't offer new Euro pallets. We do supply good-quality used and reconditioned Euro pallets in bulk.
Can used pallets be used for export?
Yes, if they're ISPM15-treated. A used pallet that already carries a clear, valid IPPC/ISPM15 stamp and hasn't been repaired with untreated wood can be reused for export. We can supply ISPM15-compliant export pallets, new or reconditioned.
Do you buy back used pallets?
Yes. We buy back, collect and recycle used pallets across the UK, paying cash or credit for surplus and damaged stock. It's also where much of our graded used supply comes from.
What size is a standard UK pallet?
The standard UK pallet measures 1200 × 1000 mm. The Euro (EPAL) pallet measures 1200 × 800 mm. We supply used and new UK-size pallets, and used Euro pallets.
How much weight can a used pallet hold?
A sound used pallet carries a similar load to new — as a guide, up to around 1,000 kg dynamic, roughly 4,000 kg static and about 1,000–1,250 kg in racking. Grade matters for wear, not usually for rated strength; tell us your load and we'll recommend the right grade.
How do I order pallets or get a quote?
Request a quote through our contact form, message us on WhatsApp, or call +44 7776 563 557. Tell us the grade (A, B or C) or the job, plus quantity and delivery postcode, and we'll send a firm trade price — usually the same working day.
