Vadodara · The GIDC belt

Wooden Pallet Manufacturer in Vadodara

Vadodara specifies pallets differently from anywhere else we supply. In most cities the conversation starts with a footprint and an entry pattern. Here it usually starts with a CP number, because the belt around Baroda is chemical and petrochemical territory and the CP series is that industry’s own standard.

Our Vadodara address is G.J. Patel Estate, Plot No. 42/B on Harni Dena Road, just off NH 48 at Dena Chokadi — inside the belt it serves rather than a lead time away from it. What follows is the CP range with real dimensions, which deck suits drums and which suits bags, and how bulk orders across these estates are usually put together.

The CP series

Every CP pallet size, and what each deck is for

A CP number is not just a size. It fixes the footprint and the deck construction together, which is why a shipper can write “CP4” on a specification and know the receiving plant will understand the smooth deck and the absence of sharp edges without further description.

Four of the nine share the same 1140 × 1140 mm footprint and differ only in how the deck is built — that is the distinction that most often gets lost when an order is placed by size alone.

The CP series is one of several standards we cut to. Entry patterns, timber grades and construction types are set out across the full wooden pallets range.

Specifying

Drums, bags, and what changes the deck

Drummed goods

A drum concentrates its weight on a small contact area and it does not forgive a deck that flexes. CP3 is the container-optimised version with a stable loading base, and CP8 has a solid perimeter drilled for drum discharge — the one to specify if the drum is being emptied where it stands rather than carried somewhere else first.

Bagged product

Bags fail differently: they snag and they tear, so the deck surface matters more than its stiffness. CP1 carries a peripheral deck for stacked bagged goods, CP4 adds smooth decking with no sharp edges, and CP5 is the small-format answer at 760 × 1140 mm.

When a CP number is the wrong answer

Plenty of traffic in this belt is engineering rather than chemical, and a component that does not fit a published footprint should not be forced onto one. A custom size cut to the part is normal work, and often cheaper in freight terms than paying for deck area nothing sits on.

Coverage

The GIDC estates we deliver into

Makarpura, Nandesari, Savli, Halol, Padra, Por and Ranoli. These estates sit far enough apart that treating them as one delivery region rather than seven destinations is what keeps the landed cost sensible.

In practice that means bulk orders for the GIDC estates can be consolidated so that a single delivery covers a production run, instead of a series of part-loads arriving against separate purchase orders. If several units under the same group are ordering separately, it is worth saying so at quotation — the pallets do not change, but the freight does.

Common questions

Wooden pallets in Vadodara — FAQ

Where in Vadodara is Europack located?

Why do Vadodara buyers order CP pallets rather than standard sizes?

The CP series is the chemical industry standard, and the belt around Vadodara is chemical and petrochemical territory. A CP number fixes the footprint and the deck pattern together, so a shipper specifying CP3 or CP8 is specifying how drums sit on it, not just how big it is.

What are the CP pallet sizes?

CP1 is 1000 × 1200 mm, CP2 is 800 × 1200 mm, CP3, CP4, CP8 and CP9 are all 1140 × 1140 mm with different deck constructions, CP5 is 760 × 1140 mm, CP6 is 1200 × 1000 mm and CP7 is 1300 × 1100 mm. The table on this page sets out the construction and timber for each.

Which CP pallet should I use for drums?

CP3 is the container-optimised drum pallet with a stable loading base, and CP8 has a solid perimeter drilled for drum discharge. If the drums are being emptied on the pallet rather than just moved on it, CP8 is usually the one being asked for.

Can you consolidate a bulk order across several GIDC units?

Yes — bulk orders for the GIDC estates can be consolidated so that a single delivery covers a production run rather than arriving piecemeal. Where several units under the same group are ordering separately, saying so at quotation usually changes the freight rather than the pallet.

Are pallets delivered to Vadodara ISPM-15 treated?

They are when the cargo is going for export — heat treatment at 56 °C with the IPPC / ISPM-15 stamp. A great deal of what moves in this belt is domestic inter-plant traffic that does not need the treatment, so it is specified per order rather than applied to everything by default.

Send the CP number, or the load if you do not have one

If the specification already names a CP format we can quote straight from it. If it does not, tell us what sits on the pallet — drums, bags, a machined part — and which estate it is going to, and we will come back with the format and a landed price.
