For ops teams who want a pallet moved today, not next Tuesday
Pallet & Part-Load Courier — Direct Van, No Network
Pallet networks are cheap if you've got time and the pallet survives the hub. When the goods are fragile, urgent, or just need to land in one piece, a dedicated van moving direct is the smarter buy.
Collection and delivery are required — a town, city or postcode is enough.
Same-Day / Urgent
Need a delivery today? Collection within 60–90 minutes, direct driver, status updates — your job goes straight to the front of the queue.

Same-day coverage
What's in scope (and what isn't)
We'd rather be honest about boundaries than win a job we can't do properly.
What we do
- Single pallets and part-loads collected and delivered by one dedicated van
- Vehicle suitability confirmed against pallet dimensions, total weight, loading method and access
- Same-day urgent collection across the UK (typically 60–90 minutes)
- Scheduled delivery for a future date or Flexi7 collection and delivery within seven days
- Tail-lift / pump-truck handling where required (specify at booking)
- Direct point-to-point — no hub, no depot, no overnight sort
What we don't
- Full pallet-network coverage at quoted per pallet next-day — we're not Palletline or Palletways and won't pretend to be
- 7.5T and 18T transport can be arranged through our nationwide subcontractor network, subject to load, route, access and equipment review.
- ADR / hazardous goods (we are not ADR-licensed)
- Temperature-controlled (frozen / chilled) pallet transport
How it works
Tell us the lane and the pallet spec
Collection postcode, delivery postcode, pallet count, approximate weight, and whether a tail-lift is needed at either end. Photo of the pallet is welcome.
We quote against direct mileage
Single transparent price based on the actual route. No fuel surcharge surprises, no per-kilo gotchas.
Choose Same-Day or Flexi7
Same-Day is collected and delivered directly today. Flexi7 provides collection and delivery within seven days and is normally around 30% below the equivalent dedicated service where available. Subject to route suitability, availability and minimum charges. Flexi7 is not suitable for fixed urgent deadlines, and the final price is confirmed before booking.
Status updates + signed POD
status-updated transit. Signature and photo POD emailed automatically the moment it's delivered.

Why operations teams use Taylors
Pallet & Part-Load — FAQs
What pallet loads can you carry on one job?▼
We confirm the vehicle from each pallet's dimensions, total weight, stacking restrictions, loading method and site access. Larger commercial loads can be reviewed for 7.5T or 18T transport rather than assuming a Luton limit.
Do you have a tail-lift?▼
Yes — we can arrange tail-lift collection or delivery on request. Flag it at booking so we send the correct vehicle.
Can you do payment-on-collection if we're buying from a supplier?▼
Yes. Where you've already paid the supplier and just need the goods collected against a reference, that's standard. If you need us to make a payment on your behalf at collection, ask first — we can usually arrange it.
Why are you more expensive than a pallet network for a single pallet?▼
Because we don't share the load. Your pallet goes on a van by itself (or alongside one other consignment going the same way) and arrives the same day, untouched. If you'd rather pay £30 and wait three days, a pallet network is the right call — and we'll tell you so.
Do you provide a Goods-in-Transit certificate for pallet and part-load work?▼
Yes. We carry up to £5,000 Goods-in-Transit and £1m Public Liability. A current certificate of insurance can be emailed to your procurement or finance team before the first job.
Can we set this up on a Business Account rather than paying per job?▼
Yes. Open a Business Account (5-minute application, subject to credit check), book against a PO reference each time, and receive one consolidated PDF and CSV invoice per month payable in 30 days.
Do you cover the whole of the UK?▼
Yes. We operate from the Midlands which keeps us central for cross-country work. Nationwide collection and delivery — London, Manchester, Leeds, Bristol, Newcastle, Scotland and everywhere between.
