Editing Australian standard pallet (section)

== Construction and specification==
Australian standard pallets are defined by [[Australian Standard]] AS:4068-1993 ''Flat pallets for materials handling''.<ref name="SAI">{{citation|url=http://infostore.saiglobal.com/EMEA/Details.aspx?ProductID=309594|title=AS 4068-1993 Flat pallets for materials handling|accessdate=30 January 2016}}</ref> They can be manufactured in hardwood or softwood, where hardwood is good for durability, weather tolerance and very heavy loads of over 2 tonne. 1165 × 1165&nbsp;mm softwood pallets can also be manufactured using lighter timber suitable for use as a lightweight pallet using 19mm boards (up to 1 tonne) or 25mm boards (up to 2 tonne). Australian standard pallets are extensively used in Australian storage and warehousing as [[pallet racking|racking]] pallets because they can be removed from transport directly onto warehouse racking for storage.

The majority of Australian business will use a softwood pallet. Pricing ranges from $15.00 AU to $19.00 AU (2019) for a softwood standard size pallet, based on quantities.
