Pallet logistics encompasses the planning, control, and execution of all transport, storage, and handling operations involving palletised load units across the supply chain. Freight forwarders, warehouse operators, and shippers rely on standardised formats – most notably the EUR-pallet (1,200 × 800 mm) in Europe – to ensure goods can move interchangeably across carriers and facilities. The scope extends well beyond physical transport: pallet pooling, inventory tracking, and empty-pallet return flows are all integral parts of the discipline. It forms the operational backbone of groupage, part-load, and distribution services, and should not be confused with a simple pallet transport order, which covers only a single shipment leg.
