Are industrial pallets compatible with euro pallet warehouse racking?

Industrial pallets at 1000mm wide do not fit correctly on racking systems dimensioned for the euro pallet's 800mm footprint. Euro pallet racking beam spans are set for 800mm — placing 1000mm-wide industrial pallets on these beams produces overhang on each side, creating load distribution errors and instability risks outside the racking system's structural rating. Warehouses handling both pallet formats require adjustable or dual-beam racking with beams set to the wider 1000mm footprint. This incompatibility affects both inbound storage and outbound loading efficiency at distribution centres receiving mixed-format consignments from UK and continental European suppliers simultaneously.
