While national railways were developing their own pallet pools in the 1950s, it wasn’t until the 1960s that the first railways joined forces to create a Europe-wide standard pallet. If we take a look today at the technical specifications back then, we notice very few differences to present-day EPAL/EUR pallets. A quality standard that has stood the test of almost 50 years.
