Wooden pallets play a major role in transporting goods from their manufacturing point to shops, warehousing/storage facilities, air freight, National and International road routes and shipping.

Put simply – a large quantity of the goods we purchase has been moved at some point via a pallet!

Wood has always proved to be the most cost effective way of producing a pallet over its alternatives – Plastic, Metal and, more recently, dense cardboard.

A much more versatile and cheaper product to source and work with, wooden boards and blocks can very easily be replaced with either new or re-cycled timber thus returning the pallet to service very quickly. Plastic and Metal pallets are an expensive option to both purchase and repair but they do, of course, offer benefits to some customers.

Exporting outside Europe?

Should you wish to export goods Internationally, outside Europe you may require a Pallet which has been Heat Treated to ISPM15 standard – a worldwide recognised standard. We are able to supply these with Certification which you will require to accompany any export/shipping documents.

This standard is to control the spread of diseases and infestation possibly found in wood and which could be spread to Countries causing damage to animals and the greater environment. Additional information can be found at The Forestry Commission website.
