How do I ship a pallet?

First, select a pallet spacious enough to fit all your items on without any overhanging on the edges. Then secure your goods to the pallet by either strapping, shrink or stretch wrapping them and finish by attaching a label to your pallet. Once you have completed the first steps, contact your chosen courier and arrange for them to collect your goods.

How do you secure a pallet?

The two most common and effective methods used to secure goods to pallets are strapping and shrink wrapping. With strapping, make sure you use at least two straps and loop through the forks of the pallet. Shrink wrapping requires plenty of shrink film and you must carefully apply heat to tighten the film around your goods.

What is the difference between shrink wrap and stretch wrap?

Shrink and stretch wrap are similar but are technically different. Stretch wrap is used to stretch over goods to secure them while shrink wrap is loosely fitted to surround your goods and tightens once heat is applied. Either of them can be used to wrap a pallet before delivery with your chosen courier.

Can you use a heat gun for shrink wrap?

A heat gun can certainly be used to shrink wrap a pallet. When applied correctly, shrink wrap is considered to be one of the most effective ways of wrapping a pallet, offering full protection for your goods during transit.

Things To Consider Before Sending A Pallet To Europe

Before you go ahead and book a pallet to Europe, there are just a few things you should keep in mind.

These will help avoid any issues or delays, meaning your goods will arrive on time.

To begin with, make sure you have selected the correct pallet size.

Failing to select the correct pallet size is likely to result in refused collection or additional charges.

You must also make sure you have properly wrapped and secured your pallet before collection.

If you fail to make sure your goods are strapped, shrink or stretch wrapped before collection, you will face additional charges or again, your pallet may even be refused.

For all collections and deliveries of freight, we ask that you ensure there is a clear, solid and flat surface for our delivery vehicles to manoeuvre and park while our drivers load and unload pallets.

Our drivers cannot park their vehicles where they are not permitted to do so.

Finally, if your goods do not fit on a full, half or quarter pallet, you must make us aware of this.

Simply attach a booking note to your order before confirming your details.

You must clearly state that your goods are placed on an oversized pallet before placing your order and confirming your booking.
