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 around your Warwick access
Warwick freight planning starts with the business's goods entrance, its receiving appointment and the permitted vehicle approach. Give the packed dimensions and gross weight, and distinguish a public-facing address from a rear unloading point. If there is no loading equipment, describe the surface and space available so tail-lift suitability can be assessed.
Record length, width, height and gross weight in the packed condition. Confirm the vehicle approach, handling equipment and receiving arrangements at both ends independently.
- Confirm the actual Warwick entrance and carrying route rather than routing the vehicle to the nearest visitor car park.
- For pallet delivery, prepare: packed pallet dimensions; gross weight including pallet; loading at both addresses.
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 Warwick 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. CV34 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.
