Cargo type
Pallet Transport South Africa
Palletised freight is the most common form of commercial road cargo in South Africa. What determines price and vehicle choice is not just how many pallets you have, but their footprint, height, weight and whether they can be double-stacked.
What we need to quote
- Number of pallets and pallet footprint
- Height and weight per pallet
- Whether pallets can be stacked
- Collection and delivery addresses
- Loading equipment available at both ends
Practical considerations
- Light, tall pallets fill the deck before they reach payload — volume often prices the load.
- Non-stackable pallets can double the space required.
- Tail lifts may be needed where the delivery point has no forklift.
