Market, terminology and context

EPAL 2 and EPAL 3 remain distinct named products even though one footprint can be rotated to match the other’s outline.

Method and calculation

For pure floor geometry, test both orientations. For entry direction, construction or equipment compatibility, use controlled product information.

Worked example

A 2400 × 2000 mm clear rectangle takes four 1200 × 1000 footprints in a simple grid with no allowance.

What remains variable

Footprint equivalence is not product equivalence. Do not infer handling or load attributes.
