Van or lorry?
For one to five light pallets, our Luton curtainsider with tail lift is often the most economical dedicated option. Beyond that, or for heavy pallets, a 7.5T or 18T is usually needed. We do not operate a pallet network; every pallet movement we arrange is dedicated.
What we need to quote
- Pallet count and footprint (UK standard 1.2m × 1.0m or Euro 1.2m × 0.8m)
- Height and weight of each pallet, and whether they can be stacked
- Forklift or dock availability at both ends
- Delivery booking slot or reference, if the receiving warehouse needs one
Starting rates
7.5T from £4.00 per loaded mile (£495 minimum). 18T from £5.00 per loaded mile (£650 minimum). Starting rates only, not bookable fixed prices: timing, positioning, payload, equipment, waiting and access are assessed in your individual written quote. Taylors Courier Service Ltd is not currently VAT registered, so no VAT is added to our charges.
Questions
- Can pallets be double-stacked?
- Only if they are built to be stacked and the combined height and weight are safe. Tell us which pallets are stackable.
- Is this cheaper than a pallet network?
- Usually not for one or two pallets. Dedicated transport is chosen for speed, direct handling and fewer touchpoints rather than lowest price.
