Not sure where the best place to post this question is, I've tried the usual sources without success.
Quite a few of my references refer to the "NATO Standard Pallet" however does anyone have any dimensions for it or picutres of them: I've built some modern British Army Softskins and want some cargo for them.
Thanks
Richard

I think Gino is on to something. Here you also have the dimensions of an Euro pallet which is commonly used during operations.

The 463L, AML and 108"x88" are standard aircraft cargo pallets used on a/c like the C130. Trucks usually carry Nato wooden pallets, unless they're moving a preprepared load to an a/c. Hope this helps.

I think you will find standard wooden pallets are 48"x48"

just about all pallets used in the military right now are the c-130 able type, even in fort hood and places wooden are usually used for tank track, etc then stacked on the air force pallets,

That is true with US Forces. However, I checked with the CSS guys at work yesterday, and they told me that all European forces mostly use the Euro pallet. The beds on a European military truck are made so Euro pallets will fit perfectly. The pallets come in three different types depending on what you are supposed to load on them, but the measures are the same. Pallets used for ammunition are generally more solid than pallets used for other types of supplies.
