Palletized and oversized goods
Pallets and bulky items, assessed according to the handling required.
Shipping pallets or oversized items? Provide dimensions, weight and loading and unloading conditions. The published service describes handling equipment such as a liftgate and electric pallet jack; suitability for your shipment must be confirmed.
How your request is prepared
The assessment looks at the weight and size of each unit, then at access at both locations: whether there is a dock, a surface a pallet jack can cross, any slope, the width of the passage. These points determine the equipment needed and must be confirmed before transportation.
