Describe the pallet as it will travel
Measure the complete loaded pallet, including the base, wrapping and anything extending beyond its edges. Give length, width and height in centimetres and the gross weight in kilograms. For pallets with different sizes, add a separate line for each size.
Tell us what is inside, whether anything is fragile, whether the load is secure and if another pallet can safely go above it. A description such as “one pallet” is not enough to choose a vehicle or handling method.
Plan pallet delivery at the Ludlow address
For pallet delivery involving Ludlow, give the full SY8 address and the exact entrance. Use Ludlow, Shropshire and the complete SY8 address; distinguish the premises from a general historic-centre, castle or wider south Shropshire reference. Identify the exact upper-floor, shopfront, residential, business or rural entrance, including restricted streets, gradients, steps, carrying distance and lawful loading access.
Check Shropshire Council's interactive roadworks map, current closures and any required temporary restriction process and all current street signs close to the booked date. A postcode does not establish permission, vehicle suitability or a safe handover point; agree private access with the property contact and arrange any required council permission separately.
- For pallet delivery, prepare: packed pallet dimensions; gross weight including pallet; loading at both addresses.
- Name the actual Ludlow entrance and receiving contact, not merely a landmark, car park or town-centre reference.
Collection and delivery need separate plans
A forklift at the collection warehouse does not solve unloading at a home address. Tell us about equipment at both ends and request a tail lift where needed. Equipment capacity and suitability must be confirmed for the actual load.
Do not assume pallet delivery includes carrying items indoors, upstairs or across gravel. Describe the surface, gradients and doorway access; agree the handover point before booking.
Your Ludlow enquiry checklist
- For pallet delivery, have these details ready: packed pallet dimensions; gross weight including pallet; loading at both addresses.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. SY8 is a location reference, not the whole service area.
- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
