48x40 Pallets

48 inches long by 40 inches wide, with a standard overall height of about 6.5 inches. It is four-way entry and the most common pallet in North America, used in roughly 80% of US retail distribution. The 48-inch dimension runs along the stringers; 40 inches is the deck-board length.

A standard 48x40 GMA pallet has 7 top deck boards and 5 bottom deck boards, riding on three stringers (stringer style). A Grade A unit carries a 2,500 lb minimum rated load, about 2,800 lb racked, up to 4,600 lb dynamic, and up to ~7,500 lb static. Empty weight is roughly 30 to 48 lb.
