Pallet Deliveries

If you’ve landed here wondering how to get larger, heavier consignments safely delivered across the UK, you’re in the right place. Pallet deliveries are a practical solution when your goods are too big, too heavy, or too numerous to send as standard parcels. Frigate Express specialises in transporting pallets with care, making sure they reach their destination securely and on time.

To keep things straightforward, a pallet delivery means we’ll collect your consignment on a pallet and get it to its intended destination. Pallets can vary in size, weight, and the type of goods they carry, so it’s important to provide us with clear details about what’s being shipped, along with the collection and delivery addresses. This helps us plan the journey efficiently and ensure your items are handled appropriately.

It’s worth noting right away that both collection and delivery points must have the necessary facilities to load and unload the pallet as our drivers do not come with a forklift. If either location lacks this equipment or assistance, we won’t be able to complete the delivery safely. Ensuring suitable forklifts, pallet trucks, or other handling equipment are available is essential. This will be your responsibility.

When you book a pallet delivery with us, you can rest assured that your consignment is in safe hands. Our drivers take care of the transport from start to finish, navigating routes efficiently and ensuring the pallet remains stable and secure during transit. Items are strapped and protected where necessary, and we adapt to the specific requirements of your goods, whether they are fragile, bulky, or high-value.

Pricing for pallet deliveries can vary depending on the size, weight, distance, and type of goods being transported. Because of this, it’s sensible to contact us beforehand with the full details of the consignment. Whether it’s a single pallet of goods or multiple pallets, we provide an accurate quote and plan the most effective route. This level of transparency ensures there are no surprises and your consignment can reach its destination without delay.

While larger courier companies often focus on standard parcels and may not provide dedicated pallet transport, Frigate Express treats pallet delivery as a priority. Every journey is carefully planned, taking into account road conditions, vehicle capacities, and handling requirements. The consignment is never treated as an afterthought; we understand that pallets often carry valuable, time-sensitive, or essential goods.

Who typically uses pallet delivery? The answer is varied. Small businesses transporting stock to retail outlets, manufacturers sending raw materials to production sites, or organisations moving equipment or supplies all rely on this service. If your consignment is too large for regular parcels but needs careful handling and timely delivery, pallet transport is the solution.

Ultimately, we the couriers are often the face your customer sees. So, ensure you choose well. There is a lot of competition, so it is okay to shop around to find the firm that you ‘gel’ with.

These are the most common type of pallets.

  • Standard UK Pallet – 1200mm x 1000mm (used for most general deliveries)
