Pallet Courier
Commercial delivery of pallets is considered one of the most popular and safest methods of cargo transportation. It allows you to quickly send load and unload goods, as well as combine different batches of goods from individual customers into one vehicle and deliver them quickly. The service of shipping pallets to Europe is cost-efficient for all customers, as the final price of the service is significantly lower as opposed to cargo transportation or other means.
The specifics of transportation of palletized goods
Brother Parcel Post may assist you to transport various types of cargo via vans, flatbed vehicles or even lorries. They can be either packed individually or pre-formed into large pallets. A pallet is considered the safest container because the probability of damage to goods transported in them is minimized.
Pallets can be lifted with any type of handling equipment: they can be moved both by forklifts and manually. The delivery of pallets is very convenient because it allows you to save a lot of time and effort on loading and unloading.

For the UK palletised courier service to arrive at its destination safe and sound, a few simple conditions must be strictly adhered to:
The delivered cargo must be packed in a triple layer of film with a grip on a euro pallet;
The dimensions of the package should be limited to the dimensions of the pallet, the maximum overhang is 30 mm;
The weight of one palletized delivery should not exceed 850 kg, and the dimensions should not go beyond 1.2 m by 80 cm and 1.6 m in height;
The height of the load itself is determined based on its delivery stability, as well as the load capacity of the price of palletized delivery, and the vehicle type.
To speed up and simplify the process of transportation, the sender of the cargo can pre-pack the cargo in bags. When the car with loaders arrives, the employees of the cargo taxi service will lay their base, end, or rib on their own, if the type and shape of the load allow such laying.
