Pallets for 3PL and logistics operators
We supply UK standard, Euro and export pallets into contract logistics sites, on a one-off, bulk or account basis, then collect surplus and manage stock across your network. Client-owned and pooled equipment is kept out of any purchase or clearance.
What we supply
Pallets matched to a multi-client site
3PL sites need pallets that suit whichever client's stock is on the floor that week: UK standard 1200x1000 and Euro 1200x800, new or quality used, plus export/ISPM15-marked pallets where client goods are moving abroad. We supply against a specification agreed up front, on one-off orders, bulk deliveries or a standing account across your sites.
Same-day delivery may be available for orders placed before 10am, subject to stock, vehicle availability, order size and destination — useful when a client's line is about to stop.
Operational benefits
Why operators use one supplier across a network
One specification per client
Agree the pallet type and grade per client account, so goods-out always matches what that customer expects.
Consistent terms across sites
One arrangement covering pricing, delivery and reporting, so depots aren't negotiating separately.
Stock kept off the yard
Regular supply and collection cycles keep pallets moving instead of building up around bays and staging areas.
Clean ownership trail
Pooled and client-owned pallets are identified and kept separate from anything we buy or clear as surplus.
Reporting your clients ask for
Delivery and collection records in the format your own customers need to see.
Scales with volume
Start with one site and extend the same terms across the network as volume grows.
How it works
Supply, then collection and management
We agree a specification and delivery pattern for each site, then deliver on a set cycle or on call-off. Once supply is running, we collect surplus, pooled-marked and damaged pallets separately — pooled equipment goes back to its operator, not into a surplus purchase — and recover or recycle stock that's genuinely finished. Where volume is recurring across several sites, this moves onto an account so pricing and collection are consistent network-wide.
Ownership at a glance
What's on a 3PL site
| Category | How to tell | What happens to it |
|---|---|---|
| Pooled equipment | Operator branding and colour on blocks or stringers | Returned to the operator, not purchased or disposed of |
| Client-owned stock | Held under a specific client contract | Moved only with that client's authority |
| Export-marked timber | A legible ISPM15 mark on the stringer or block | Assessed on its own terms before reuse or disposal |
| Unattributed surplus | No branding, no contract owner, no mark | Assessed and, where it has value, purchased |
Who this suits
Built for multi-client sites
Contract logistics operators, cross-dock hubs and fulfilment sites handling stock for several clients at once, where pallet type, ownership and reporting all vary by account.
