England

Thames Estuary, East Anglia and the Channel

This region carries the largest concentration of unitised freight in the UK. Deep-sea container volume arrives at Felixstowe and London Gateway, multipurpose cargo at Tilbury, North Sea ferry traffic at Harwich, and short-sea trailer freight at Dover. The pallet market here is shaped almost entirely by containers and trailers rather than breakbulk.

What drives pallet demand here

  • Devanning yards near Felixstowe and in Thurrock typically run standing weekly pallet requirements rather than one-off orders.
  • Repalletising imported loose cargo onto UK 1200 x 1000 pallets is routine across the region.
  • The Kent corridor's customs clearance and groupage operators need fast-response supply for reworked loads.
  • Used pallet surpluses can be large here, so collection and purchase enquiries are common alongside supply.
  • Booking-controlled sites mean delivery windows and vehicle types must be agreed in advance.

Enquire — Thames & East

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.
