Used pallets in bulk
Grades A, B and C
Used pallets in bulk come sorted by grade, so a regular order holds the same grade on every delivery.
- Grades A, B and C
- UK standard and Euro
Bulk pallets and contract supply
We supply bulk pallets by the full lorry load or on a scheduled contract, used or new, in UK standard 1200 x 1000 mm, Euro 1200 x 800 mm, CP, plastic and heat treated, delivered to any UK site a lorry can reach and priced to your postcode.
Regular orders run weekly, fortnightly or monthly, with the grade and build you set held on every delivery.
What do bulk pallets and contract supply cover?
Bulk pallets and contract supply cover orders of empty pallets by the stack, the hundred or the full lorry load, and the same order repeated on a set schedule at an agreed price.
- Bulk pallets
- Empty pallets bought by the hundred or the load, of one type or mixed.
- Wholesale pallets
- The same order under the trade name; we sell the empty pallets, not pallets of goods.
- Full lorry load
- A curtain-sider filled with stacked empty pallets, the largest single delivery.
- Contract supply
- The same type, grade and quantity delivered on a set schedule at an agreed price, also called a standing order.
Which pallets can you buy in bulk?
We sell used, new, Euro, CP, plastic and heat treated pallets in bulk, with pallet collars, and square, half and bespoke sizes, quoted by the load as well.

Heat treated pallets in bulk
ISPM 15 marked

- ISPM 15 mark
- UK standard, Euro and CP
Hinged pallet collars and lids, square pallets and half pallets travel by the load as well. Bespoke pallets are built to a fixed drawing for repeat orders. Send the type, size and volume with your quote request and we price the load.
How many pallets come in a full lorry load?
A full lorry load carries about 495 empty Euro pallets, a stack of 15 on each of 33 floor spaces, and your quote names the exact count.
On the floor, a 13.6 m trailer takes 33 Euro pallets or 26 UK standard pallets in a single layer.
| Order unit | Pallets | What it means | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| One stack of EPAL Euro pallets | 15 | 2.16 m high, about 375 kg, because each EPAL Euro pallet is 144 mm high and about 25 kg | EPAL |
| A pack of new nestable plastic pallets | 70 | Nestable plastic pallets shipped as one pack | Our pack size |
| A full lorry load of Euro pallets | About 495 | Empty Euro pallets, stamped or unstamped, in stacks of 15 on 33 floor spaces of a curtain-sider | 33 floor spaces x 15 |
| UK standard pallets, by the stack or the load | Counted on the quote | The height varies by build, so the count follows the build you choose | Your quote |
A floor space is one pallet's footprint on the trailer floor. Empty pallets travel in stacks on each floor space, so a full load counts far more pallets than floor spaces.
Loaded pallets in shipping containers and on trailers follow other counts, worked out in our calculator, how many pallets fit in a container.
Mixed bulk loads with sizes, grades and collars on one delivery
A mixed bulk load carries several sizes, grades or materials on one delivery, each stacked apart, so one lorry covers the whole order.
- Grades split into Grade A for loads your customers see and Grade B for warehouse use, on the same lorry.
- Sizes include UK standard and Euro pallets stacked apart on one delivery.
- Collars and lids add hinged collars and lids sized to the pallets on the load.
How does contract pallet supply work?
Contract pallet supply fixes the specification and price once and repeats the delivery on a schedule, through five steps from first call to repeat order.
- 1
Agree the volume and how often you need it, per site.
- 2
Fix the specification, covering type, size, grade or duty, build and treatment, written down once.
- 3
Agree the price per load for a set term.
- 4
Schedule the deliveries on a set day.
- 5
Review the volume and the specification when your needs change.
The specification stays the same on every delivery, and we do not change what we send without telling you first.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly scheduled bulk deliveries
We run scheduled bulk deliveries weekly, fortnightly or monthly on a set day agreed for each site, with the same pallets each time.
WeeklyFor lines that use pallets every week
FortnightlyFor steady use below a full load a week
MonthlyFor slower use or storage-limited sites
One agreement covers several sites, with a delivery day for each and one invoice for the month. Regular orders like these usually run on a trade account.
Trade account terms for regular pallet orders
A trade account for regular pallet orders gives you one named contact, your specification held on file and one invoice a month.
- Contact
- One named person who knows your sites, specification and schedule.
- Specification
- Your type, grade, build and treatment held on file and sent the same on every bulk delivery.
- Invoicing
- One invoice a month across your sites.
Bulk pallet price and what sets the cost per load
The price of a bulk pallet order follows the type and size, the grade or duty, the number per delivery, how often you order, heat treatment and the delivery distance.
Larger loads cost less per pallet, because the lorry and the run are shared by more pallets.
- Type and sizeA used pallet costs less than a new one of the same size, and each footprint carries its own timber.
- Grade or dutyGrade C costs least of the used grades, and heavier builds carry more timber than light ones.
- Number per deliveryThe quote prices the exact number on each lorry.
- How oftenA regular order is priced for a set term on request.
- Heat treatmentHeat treated pallets are priced apart from untreated pallets of the same size.
- Delivery distanceYour postcode sets the delivery part of the price.
What single pallets cost, and why, is set out in our guide to pallet prices.

Do you sell wholesale stock pallets or liquidation pallets?
No, we sell the empty pallets themselves, not pallets of wholesale stock, returns or liquidation goods.
Wholesale pallets, in our trade, are empty pallets bought by the load for a business to ship its own goods on. Goods sold by the pallet, from retail returns to building materials, are outside what we supply. Empty pallets also flow the other way, back from your site.
Can you collect our surplus pallets on the same run?
Yes, we collect surplus pallets on the same run as your bulk delivery, on request.
Sound UK standard, Euro and half pallets are most wanted, and collection is usually free for 50 pallets or more. We buy pallets in that condition, and the rest go through our pallet collection service. A business handing over pallets as waste must check the receiver is authorised, according to GOV.UK. We are a registered waste carrier, and you get a waste transfer note for every collection.
