New Pallets in Portsmouth
New pallets give you a known, repeatable specification every time — the same footprint, the same board thickness, the same clean timber. That consistency matters when pallets are going to a customer, through an automated system, or out of the country.
When a new pallet is the right choice
Most businesses do not need new pallets for everything, so it is worth being clear about where they earn their keep. A new pallet is usually the sensible call when the load is going to an end customer and presentation counts, when it is travelling abroad and needs a heat-treatment mark, when it will be handled by conveyors or racking systems that are intolerant of a warped deck, or when the goods are food-related and you want clean, unused timber underneath them.
If the pallets are staying inside your own building, moving between two of your own sites, or holding stock on racking that never leaves the warehouse, a good used pallet will often do the same job for less money. We will say so when that is the case.
Specifications buyers usually ask about
The questions that come up most often on the phone are the practical ones, and they all affect what we recommend:
- Footprint — the deck dimensions your racking, vehicle or customer requires.
- Entry — two-way or four-way access, which depends on the truck or pallet trucks in use.
- Load rating — static load sitting on the floor versus dynamic load being moved and racked.
- Deck boards — spacing and thickness, which matter for small or unstable cartons.
- Treatment — heat-treated and ISPM 15 marked timber for shipments leaving the UK.
- Finish — whether the pallet is customer-facing and needs to look the part.
Bring those answers, or just describe what you are moving, and we can work backwards to the right pallet. We do not publish prices or a fixed stock list online, because both move with the timber market and with what is on the yard that week.
Delivery in Portsmouth and nearby
Deliveries go out across Portsmouth every working day, including Southsea, Cosham, Hilsea and Portchester, and regularly into Fareham, Gosport, Havant and Waterlooville. We also cover Emsworth, Chichester, Petersfield, Hedge End and Bursledon, and run towards Guildford for larger or planned jobs.
Same-day delivery is available and depends on stock and route. Tell us your access arrangements when you order — whether there is a loading bay, whether a forklift is on site to take the load off, and any delivery window your site works to. Getting that right first time is usually what makes the difference between a smooth drop and a wasted trip.
What to have ready for a quote
A useful quote takes about a minute on the phone if you have the following: the size or a description of what you are palletising, the quantity you need now and roughly what you expect to use over a month, your delivery postcode, whether the pallets are travelling overseas, and the date you need them by. If you are unsure on size, measure the base of a typical load and we will take it from there.
