What delivery options do I have?

Delivery Options

Getting your order delivered to your site - some of the products are not easy to distribute - we rely on your cooperation to advise us about any access restrictions, ability to offload, etc. - we will then confirm these via an Order Confirmation so that you know exactly what to expect and when.

However, when the goods are despatched from our premises, the Terms & Conditions of our preferred hauliers apply.

The delivery options available are:

Palletised Deliveries

Via Burgoyne’s/Pallet Track for palletised goods which are delivered on rigid, flatbed, curtain sided lorries (various sizes are used so we must be notified if you have any access restrictions). These lorries do not have crane offload and can only offload with a tail-lift with pump truck. In order for the tail-lift to be able to offload your goods, you must have a hard-flat tarmac/concrete area. Gravel is not a suitable surface for offload.

Our pallet hauliers use the following size vehicles (please note all sizes are approximate and may vary between depots, sizes are given for guidance purposes)

  • Artic (by request only)
    • 60ft long
    • 8ft 6 inches wide  
    • 15 foot tall
  • 18T (this is the default delivery option)  
    • 32 foot long 
    • 8 foot 6 inches wide
    • 13 foot tall
  • 12T (by request only)
    • 26 foot long
    • 8 foot wide
    • 12 foot tall
  • 7.5T (by request only)
    • 20 foot long

Pallet Track - Lorry

The 18T is the default vehicle is used. If you do not have access for this vehicle then you must contact us to let us know the most appropriate vehicle for your access restrictions. If we are not made aware prior to the dispatch of the pallet, the delivery will be attempted on the default size vehicle and there will be redelivery charges to get goods delivered on an alternative day with a different vehicle.

Pallet sizes/ weight definitions are:

  • 1/4 Pallet - 1.2m x 1.2m x 0.6m HIGH. Max Weight 250KG
  • 1/2 Pallet - 1.2m x 1.2m x 2.0m HIGH. Max Weight 500KG
  • Full pallet - 1.2 m x 1.2m x 2.0m HIGH. Max Weight 1200kg (can only tail lift a maximum of 1000kg)

Delivery is charged per pallet and rates vary depending on the postcode and the number of pallets. For Pallet deliveries, Economy Service is within 48 hours and Next Day. Service is 24hours for orders placed before 11.30AM.

Pallets deliveries will not usually leave the goods without a signature. This must be requested, otherwise, a re-delivery charge will apply if no one is able to sign for the goods.
