Pallet supply around Port of Dover

Dover is the UK's principal short-sea roll-on/roll-off ferry port, working accompanied and unaccompanied freight across the Dover Strait at high frequency. Because freight moves on trailers rather than in deep-sea containers, turnaround speed and paperwork readiness matter more here than quayside storage. The port also operates a separate cargo terminal handling fresh produce and other conventional traffic.

The logistics geography

The A2/M2 and A20/M20 corridors carry the port's traffic, with substantial haulage, groupage and customs clearance activity around Dover, Folkestone, Ashford and the wider Kent corridor.

Buying and collection considerations here

  • Groupage into the EU means individual pallets in a load may face different destination requirements — check each consignment rather than the trailer as a whole.
  • Fast trailer turnaround favours pallets that stack and strap predictably; heavily mixed used grades slow loading.
  • Customs clearance agents in the corridor often need pallets at short notice for re-palletising rejected or reworked loads.

What we do here

We supply pallets to businesses operating around this port, and we collect or buy surplus pallets where an assessment supports it. That includes road, sea and warehouse load transfer work, plus bearers and dunnage for securing and separating cargo. We are a pallet supplier — we do not act as a freight broker, customs agent or forwarder, and we make no claim to operate inside the port estate or to hold any port or terminal permissions.

What this page does not assert

Nothing here states volumes, scheduled services, terminal operators’ customers or our own presence on the port estate. Operating characteristics change; check the authority’s own material below before relying on any of it commercially.

Your details

We need your name, a line about what you need, a rough quantity, a postcode, and one way to reach you — email or phone, not both. Everything else is optional, and UNKNOWN is always an acceptable answer.

Give us an email address or a phone number — whichever you prefer. You do not need both.

Where the pallets are going or being collected from. Put UNKNOWN if you do not know it yet.

What you need

A rough description is enough. We will come back to you with the questions that matter.

Plain words are fine — “about 200”, “a lorry load”, “two pallets a week” or UNKNOWN all work.

I agree that Port Pallets may store these details and contact me about this enquiry. Enquiries are assessed individually; no price, stock, load rating or delivery date is confirmed by this form.
