Do you supply UK standard pallets?

Yes. We supply UK standard 1200 x 1000mm pallets in new, once-used and reconditioned grades, in light and heavy duty specifications. Grades and quantities available are confirmed with your quote.

Can you collect unwanted pallets?

Yes. We collect surplus and unwanted pallets across Hampshire, Dorset and West Sussex, as a one-off clearance or on a regular weekly or fortnightly schedule. Where pallets are reusable a rebate may be possible, confirmed case by case; mixed or damaged loads are sent for recycling wherever we can.

Can you supply regular weekly or monthly pallet orders?

Yes. Call-off arrangements can be set up with agreed pricing and an agreed delivery pattern, so pallets arrive to a schedule rather than being chased. We can hold your specification on file and adjust quantities as your volumes change.

Are used pallets suitable for my business?

For most internal handling, general distribution and single-trip UK deliveries, inspected used pallets do the same job for less. They are graded, checked for broken boards and loose nails, and repaired where needed. Where hygiene, automation or export rules apply, we will recommend new or heat-treated instead.

Cost-effective and sustainable

A used pallet is not a worn-out pallet

Every pallet that comes through the yard is inspected before it goes back out. Broken deck boards, cracked bearers, loose blocks and protruding nails are dealt with, and anything that cannot be repaired safely is dismantled for recycling instead of sold.

For internal handling, general UK distribution, single-trip deliveries and seasonal peaks, used pallets are usually the sensible choice. They cost a fraction of new, and reusing a pallet avoids the embodied carbon of making another one.

Where used is not right — food-grade work, automated handling with tight tolerances, or exports that need heat treatment — we will say so and quote the correct alternative instead.

Grades

What you get for the money

Grading language varies across the trade, so here is ours in plain English. If you have a spec from another supplier, send it over and we will match it.

Used pallet grades and their typical uses
Grade A used
Size
1200 x 1000mm / 1200 x 800mm
Use
Little visible wear, no repairs or a single replaced board. Suitable for outbound customer deliveries and pallet networks.
Grade B used
Size
1200 x 1000mm / 1200 x 800mm
Use
Sound and serviceable with visible wear and repairs. The everyday workhorse for internal handling and general distribution.
Repaired / reconditioned
Size
Standard footprints
Use
Boards and blocks replaced in our workshop, checked for nail heads and squareness before despatch.
Non-standard used
Size
Mixed sizes

Pallet recycling

Recycling that closes the loop

Our order of preference is reuse first, repair second, recycle third. Where timber cannot go back into service we aim to recover it as boards, chip or biomass rather than send it to waste.

1. Collected

We take surplus pallets off your yard as a one-off clearance or on a regular schedule, so they stop blocking loading bays and fire exits.

Used pallets sorted and graded by condition

2. Sorted and repaired

Pallets are graded by size and condition. Reusable ones are checked and repaired; the rest are stripped for sound boards and blocks.

3. Recycled

Timber that cannot be reused is dismantled, with sound boards kept and the remainder processed for chip or biomass, and metal fixings separated for scrap.
