90% of ground transportation is palletized. Therefore, every day we have more efficient systems that achieve greater productivity, space savings and, consequently, cost savings.

At Transvolando we specialize in palletized shipments, both nationally and throughout Europe. We have daily routes that connect the main Spanish and European cities, so we can guarantee an agile delivery within 24 hours and keeping the goods in perfect condition.

What is pallet transportation?

The pallet service consists of transporting a pallet or several pallets with their corresponding merchandise on top. Sometimes we call groupage to the shipment of national and international pallets.

What types of pallets are there?

Wooden. These are the most common.
Plastic. The most hygienic, perfect for food.
Cardboard. Single-use, very hygienic and perfect for the food industry.
Metal (steel). Stronger and more durable. Its long service life compensates for its high price.

What are the standard dimensions of a pallet?

European pallet or europallet: 1,200 x 800 mm. It is the most widely used on the European continent as it is adapted to the dimensions of trailer interiors (2,400 mm).
Universal pallet or American pallet: 1,200 x 1,000 mm. It is the most widely used in the American and Japanese markets. Widely used for the transport of liquid goods.

Pallet strength

Pallets are considered to be highly resistant structures, which can be defined by three types:

To compression, which determines the maximum load they can withstand.
To bending, which must be taken into account when slings are used for lifting.
On impact, if there is a fall or heavy blow.

Seven advantages of pallet transportation

International pallet transportation is very common as it has many advantages:

Palletized shipments are much easier to move and handle, both for transport and storage. For loading and unloading or moving pallets, mechanical means are used, such as forklifts, cranes, pallet trucks or forklifts.
With this method, considerable space savings are achieved, both in transport and storage. The dimensions of the European pallet make it fit perfectly in 2,400 mm trailers, being able to place two or three adjacent ones, depending on whether the base measurement of 800 mm or 1,200 mm is taken as a reference.
A cost reduction is achieved precisely because of the savings in space involved in the transport of pallets and storage of goods for palletized shipment.
Fewer personnel are needed for loading and unloading or movement tasks, since these are carried out by mechanical means, thus reducing the time required for these tasks.
With less handling, palletized goods suffer less damage during pallet transport, thus reducing the cost of shrinkage.
As a single cargo unit containing different packages, it is more difficult for the goods to be lost or misplaced.
The pallets are reusable, except for cardboard pallets, which are single-use pallets, thus providing cost savings and greater respect for the environment during domestic and international pallet shipments.
