What is pallet transport and a pallet handling service?
The pallet transport service involves the loading and transport of one or more pallets bearing their respective goods, whether for domestic or international destinations.
Palletised freight allows every cubic centimetre of the lorry to be utilised to the full. This results in more efficient logistics.
If your business relies on a steady flow of supplies, you need a freight transport service that understands the importance of punctuality.
This service involves the collection, transport and delivery of palletised goods (boxes or packages placed on a pallet) from a point of origin to a destination, nationally or internationally, normally in B2B operations.
In practice, this means:
- Pickup at your warehouse/supplier.
- Transport in the appropriate vehicle according to volume/weight.
- Delivery to the warehouse or end client, with shipment tracking and control.
Depending on your needs, it can be:

Benefits of palletised pallet shipping for businesses
El transporte de palets internacional es muy comun ya that cuenta with multiples ventajas:
– Palletised loads are much easier to move and handle, both for transport and storage. Mechanical equipment such as forklift trucks, cranes, pallet trucks or pallet jacks is used for loading, unloading and moving pallets.
– This method saves a considerable amount of space, both in transport and storage. The dimensions of the European pallet mean that it fits perfectly into 2,400 mm trailers, with two or three pallets fitting side by side, depending on whether the base measurement of 800 mm or 1,200 mm is taken as a reference.
– Cost reductions are achieved precisely because of the space savings involved in transporting pallets and storing goods for palletised shipping.
– 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.
– As it requires less handling, palletised goods suffer less damage during pallet transport, thereby 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.
– Pallets are reusable, except for cardboard ones, which are single-use, thus saving costs and being more environmentally friendly during national and international pallet shipments.
