Oversized pallets are the solution when your goods are too large for a standard pallet. Whether your items are bulky, long, or awkwardly shaped, our oversized pallet delivery services make shipping simple and hassle-free.
What Is an Oversized Pallet?
An oversized pallet is any pallet that exceeds the standard size of 1.2m x 1.0m. Our services support oversized Quarter, Half and Full pallets, offering a flexible option for larger shipments.
All oversized pallet deliveries require a forklift (or similar equipment) at both collection and delivery points.
Oversized Pallet Size Guide
| Oversized | Max Dimensions (L x W) | Max Height | Max Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quarter | 2.0m x 1.2m | 0.6m | 250 kg |
| Half | 2.0m x 1.2m | 1.0m | 500 kg |
| Full | 2.4m x 1.2m | 2.2m | 2,000 kg |
Larger Oversized Pallets (Single Space Extensions)
If your pallet is larger than the sizes above, you can book extra single pallet spaces to allow for the additional length:
- Quarter or Half Oversized: Up to 3.0m long, weight limits remain the same
- Full Oversized: Up to 3.6m long, still capped at 2,000 kg
Booking additional space ensures your goods travel safely without overhanging the vehicle space.
Important Oversized Pallet Booking Information
- Always include your pallet’s length, width, and height in the goods description when booking.
- Include the pallet base itself in your height and weight calculations (typically adds 20 cm height and 20 kg weight).
- Heights are measured from the ground up, including the pallet base.
- Forklift availability is required at both loading and unloading points for oversized pallets.
