Conflicting definitions. I always thought a standard pallet was 48x48 and a 40x48 was a reduced size pallet.

Ol' lady just sent me out to turn 1 skid after reading this.Sure you can. I've done it. Just turn one or more. Every 48" x 40" pallet you turn, you gain 8".

It certainly seems like almost every one of my loads is on 48x48 pallets though.
I think it's the aliens. The aliens are always looking for ways to mess with you.
Leo, we went around and around with this a few years ago. A standard 4-way pallet measures 48 x 40. This is the gold standard. Or if you are into CHEP pallets, the blue standard.
Yea I know a pallet is a pallet is a pallet. A pallet could be 48 x 72 loaded with Formica® or it could be 12" x 12" loaded with 4 lead ingots or anything beyond or in between. I've been in this business for 30+ years and have seen my share of "pallets", most likely way more than you. If a shipper says I've got a 24 pallet shipment, that means 24 - 48 x 40 pallets unless specified differently or a moron chip is in play.
All grocery warehouses consider a 48 x 40 standard until they tell you to break it down and put it on their "small wood". If you use the term pallet in a trucking forum or in a transportation in general context then 48 x 40 is where its at.
I keep a Black and Decker pallett adjuster under my seat, does a good job to. I can cut to fit,amen
