Q: How Should I Pack My Pallet for Shipment?

Proper packing is crucial for the safe transport of your goods. Ensure that your items are securely placed on the pallet, using straps, stretch wrap, or shrink wrap to hold everything in place.

You can find a complete guide here .

Q: How many boxes fit on a pallet?

The number of boxes that fit on a pallet depends on the size of the boxes and the pallet type. A standard Euro pallet can typically hold around 60 boxes measuring 30x30x30 cm, stacked safely. To maximize space, ensure that your boxes are uniformly sized and stacked securely to prevent shifting during transport.

Q: What is the Standard Shipping Pallet Size?

The standard pallet size in Europe is the Euro pallet, measuring 120 x 80 cm. It is widely used across the logistics industry and is compatible with most transport and storage systems. Knowing the standard size helps in planning your shipments effectively, ensuring your goods fit properly within transport constraints.

Q: Where can I buy a pallet?

Pallets can be purchased from various suppliers, including local hardware stores, pallet manufacturers, and online marketplaces. For businesses that require high-quality or custom-sized pallets, partnering with a reputable pallet supplier is recommended. Many logistics providers also offer rental options if you need pallets on a temporary basis.

Q: What are the maximum dimensions for pallet deliveries?

The maximum dimensions for pallet deliveries depend on the type of transport and the specific carrier requirements. Generally, standard Euro pallets should not exceed 235 cm in height, with a maximum weight of 900 kg per pallet. For custom sized pallets, the length should not exceed 240 cm and the weight should not exceed the 2000 kg.

How to ship a pallet?

You can only benefit from our service if you use palletized freight. It is important that all your cargo is safely secured and packed before the carrier arrives. If this is not the case, our transporters may decide to not haul your freight.

Even though all of our carriers are AVC/CMR- qualified, it is better to avoid any form of damage of your goods. Make sure your merchandise is packaged and wrapped in a smart way so that it remains steady and secure during transit.

Plus, with a contract, you can save up to 30% on your shipping expenses, making Quicargo a cost-effective choice for businesses of all sizes. Below, we break down the key factors that influence pallet shipping prices.

Pallet Size

The size of your pallet plays a significant role in determining the shipping cost. Larger or custom-sized pallets often incur higher costs due to their space requirements. By selecting the right pallet size for your goods, you can optimize your shipping costs effectively.

Distance

Shipping distance is a major factor in the overall cost of pallet transport. The farther your pallet needs to travel, the higher the cost will be. Local shipments within the Netherlands or nearby Belgium may cost less compared to long-haul routes across Europe.

Timings

Urgency can impact shipping prices significantly. If your delivery is time-sensitive, express or next-day delivery options will generally cost more compared to standard delivery times.

Locations Of Pickup And Delivery

The specific locations of your pickup and delivery points can also affect costs. Urban areas with high traffic, remote locations, or regions with limited access may incur additional charges due to the complexity of reaching these destinations.

Time Of Year

Seasonal fluctuations, such as peak periods around holidays or specific industry rush times, can influence pallet shipping rates. During high-demand periods, rates may increase due to limited carrier availability.

Type of the Good

The nature of the goods being shipped can also influence the cost. Fragile, hazardous, or perishable items may require special handling, packaging, or transport conditions, leading to additional charges.

Volume of Shipment

Shipping larger volumes can lead to cost savings, as higher quantities may qualify for bulk or consolidated shipping discounts. Whether you’re sending a single pallet or multiple loads, Quicargo helps you optimize your shipping strategy by offering competitive rates based on the total volume of your shipment, providing the best value for your logistics needs.

Contract Rates

By entering into a shipping contract with Quicargo, businesses can benefit from significant cost savings. Contract rates provide fixed pricing and priority service, allowing you to lock in lower rates and better manage your logistics budget. Our flexible contract options are tailored to your shipping needs, helping you save up to 30% compared to standard rates, especially for recurring or high-volume shipments. You can find them here.
