Static load

The load a pallet can carry while resting on a flat floor.

Last reviewed October 27, 2026. How we check facts

Static loads are the highest of the three ratings because the floor supports the whole bottom deck. Floor stacking puts the weight of the loads above on the bottom pallet, so stack height must respect it.
