1165 x 1165 mm for export
A square footprint of 1165 mm, about 45.9 in a side, listed among the export sizes and used by some receivers outside North America. Confirm the receiving country and rack before choosing.
Plastic is outside ISPM 15, so none of these sizes needs a wood treatment mark. The footprint, the rating and the weight are what to settle. For scale, one 1165 x 1165 mm deck is 2,107 sq in, which is 187 sq in more than a 48 x 40 in deck.
Shape and size
- Perimeter: 183.6 in (4,664 mm).
- Diagonal corner to corner: 64.9 in (1,649 mm), which is the room a pallet needs to turn in an aisle.
- Area: 1.360 square metres, 14.63 square feet.
- Aspect: the long side is 1.000 times the short side, so the deck is square.
In practice
A pallet of 1165 mm a side, about 45.9 in, is a size you choose because someone told you to. It is listed among the export footprints but is not the default anywhere on this site, which makes it exactly the kind of size where the receiver's specification beats the exporter's habit.
If a receiver names this size, ask for its rack drawings and its maker preference, then ask the pallet maker for the figures on that exact model. Do not borrow numbers from the 1200 x 1200 mm or 45 x 45 in sheets next to it: three pallets within an inch of each other can have three different ratings.
It helps to ask the receiver for a photograph of its racking with a pallet on it. The picture shows the clearances, the beam depth and the forklift opening in a way a drawing hides, and it costs the receiver a minute.

Questions for the maker
- Which receiver specifies this size
- Rack and conveyor fit
- Static rating
When a receiver names this size
Treat a named size as a specification to be met in writing. Ask the importer which rack or container plan it came from, then ask the maker whether a model exists in exactly this footprint, since a nearby size will not seat the way the plan assumes.
From the dock
- A load strapped to a pallet by the shipper should survive being slid, not just lifted.
- Pallets that cross water are exposed to humidity and salt air; plastic ignores both better than most materials.

Questions people ask
Do I need ISPM 15 for a 1165 x 1165 mm plastic pallet?
No. The rule is for wood packaging. Check the importing country for any other paperwork.
