Pallets in Cosham
Cosham sits on the mainland side of the city at the foot of Portsdown Hill, just off the junctions where the A27, M27 and A3 meet. In delivery terms it is the easiest part of Portsmouth to reach.
Good roads, straightforward loads
Because Cosham is outside the island's pinch points, larger vehicles and fuller loads are far less of a problem here than they are further south. Deliveries can run early without fighting the crossings, and a full load into Cosham is often cheaper to route than a part load into the middle of the city.
That makes it a sensible place for businesses that take pallets in volume, and it is worth mentioning if you are choosing between sites or arranging a drop for a customer who is on the island but able to take delivery here instead.
The local mix
Cosham High Street is a traditional shopping street with a long run of independents alongside the chains, and those businesses take pallets in small numbers for stock and display. Around it sit offices, trade units and the service businesses that grew up around Queen Alexandra Hospital on the hillside above.
The supply chains feeding a large hospital site and its surrounding services generate a steady flow of palletised goods in — and a matching flow of empty pallets that somebody has to deal with. Collections are a regular part of what we do in this area.
What we deliver here
New, used and plastic pallets, in whatever quantity suits, plus collections of surplus stock. Standard sizes cover most requirements; if you need something non-standard, tell us the internal dimensions of what you are loading rather than guessing at a pallet size.
High Street deliveries need the same care as anywhere with pedestrian footfall and loading restrictions — earlier is better, and a contact on site makes it quicker.
