Pallet & Stillage Testing
Independent load and handling testing for pallets, stillages and reusable transport equipment — proven for the static and dynamic forces they'll face in the racking system, on the dock and in transit.
NATA-accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 · 38 years of testing expertise · Independent & Australian-owned
Testing built for real handling conditions
Pallets, stillages and reusable transport equipment carry real loads through real handling — forklift tynes, racking systems, stacking in transit. Manufacturers, logistics businesses, packaging engineers and warehouses use pallet and stillage testing to validate a design before it's committed to a fleet, or to confirm a reusable asset still performs after time in service.
What we test
Tests we perform
Covering the static and dynamic loads a pallet or stillage experiences across its working life.
Built to be reused. Tested to prove it.
From enquiry to a tested design
Scope & Load
We confirm your pallet or stillage's construction and its intended working load.
Sample Submission
You send a representative production sample, or we agree a program for an in-service unit.
Testing
We test to AS 4068 and ISO 8611, or a program adapted to your specific equipment.
Reporting
You receive a technical report confirming performance against the relevant standard.
Related capabilities
Pallet and stillage programs often draw on capability from across the lab — our Transport & Environmental Simulation service for full distribution cycles, tensile and load-testing equipment for custom fixtures, and Custom Product Testing for equipment that doesn't fit a standard method.

Frequently asked questions
What standards do you test pallets and stillages to?
We test to AS 4068 and ISO 8611, the standards covering pallet performance and handling.
Is all pallet and stillage testing NATA accredited?
Not automatically — accreditation applies to specific, defined test methods within our scope. Get in touch to confirm the accredited status of the specific test your project needs.
Can you test a custom-designed stillage or reusable transport cage?
Yes — for equipment that doesn't fit a standard test method, see our Custom Product Testing page for bespoke test programs.
What do you need from me to start?
Your pallet or stillage's construction and material, its intended load, and a representative sample — get in touch and we'll confirm scope.
