Can half pallets be used in automated warehouse systems?

EUR 6 half pallets at 800mm × 600mm are within the dimensional range accepted by most European automated storage and retrieval systems, AGV lanes, and pallet conveyors. The 800mm width is identical to the full euro pallet, which means automated equipment engages the pallet on the width axis without special adjustment. In systems calibrated for full euro pallet dimensions (800mm × 1,200mm), two EUR 6 half pallets are loaded onto a slave pallet — a full-size carrier platform — so the automated system processes them as a single EUR 1 unit without reprogramming. Compatibility with specific AS/RS or AGV configurations should be confirmed with the warehouse operator before specifying half pallet formats in a supply chain.
