Port Pallets

Priority area

South Coast ports — Solent, Sussex and Dorset

The South Coast is Port Pallets' commercial priority area. Between Poole and Newhaven the coastline carries an unusually varied set of port operations in a short distance: a deep-sea container and vehicle port at Southampton, a municipally owned ferry and produce port at Portsmouth, a trust port inside a natural harbour at Poole, a bulk and timber port at Shoreham, and a cross-Channel gateway at Newhaven. That variety means the businesses around them need very different pallet specifications, often within a few miles of each other.

What drives pallet demand here

  • Container devanning and cross-docking operators along the M27 corridor are a regular source of pallet demand.
  • Produce, chilled and seafood handling around Portsmouth and Poole raises hygiene-driven questions about plastic alternatives to timber.
  • Shoreham's timber, steel and aggregate trades create demand for bearers and dunnage rather than pool pallets.
  • Freight forwarders and customs agents across the Solent frequently need short-notice replacement pallets for reworked export loads.
  • Because the five ports are close together, deliveries and used pallet collections can often be routed efficiently across several sites.

Coverage, honestly stated

We supply nationally, and we can quote for locations not listed here. Where a facility has no page it is usually because we have nothing specific and verifiable to say about it — not because we cannot serve it.

Enquire — South Coast

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.
