What is a Pallet and How Does Pallet Delivery Work?
A pallet is a flat structure, typically a wooden pallet, used to stack and transport goods securely. Pallet delivery involves collecting these pallets, moving them through a distribution network, and delivering them to the final destination. This process, known as palletised delivery, ensures safe and efficient movement of goods.
- Pallet Basics: Goods are loaded onto the pallet using straps or shrink wrap and moved with a forklift or pallet truck.
- Delivery Process: After pallet collection, the pallet is transported to a hub in our hub and spoke system, then delivered to its destination.
- Tracking Technology: Our tracking system lets you monitor your pallet shipment in real-time.
Example: A business owner in Manchester needs to send a pallet of electronics to London. They book a pallet delivery online, and our pallet courier collects the pallet, delivering it the next day via our pallet distribution network.
Types of Pallets: Choosing the Right Size and Weight Limits
Choosing the right pallet size is key to cost-effective pallet shipping. SL Global Logistics supports various types of pallets to suit your needs:
- Standard UK Pallet: 1200 x 1000 x 150mm, ideal for most shipments.
- Euro Pallet: 1200 x 800 x 150mm, common for European deliveries.
- Quarter Pallet: Smaller, perfect for lighter loads, saving time and money.
- Stringer and Block Pallets: Built for heavier or bulkier consignments.
Size and weight limits vary, but our pallet delivery service handles everything from a single pallet to a full load.
Example: A retailer shipping large quantities of clothing might use a standard UK pallet, while a small business sending samples could choose a quarter pallet to reduce costs.
