In this article, we will provide information on what palletized transport is, its advantages, how to commission palletized transport, what to consider when preparing cargo, and why palletized shipment with JAS-FBG is a solution that safely meets modern logistics requirements.

Palletized shipments are a form of transport commonly referred to as groupage or general cargo. Goods are placed on a stable platform – a pallet – which significantly facilitates loading, unloading, and storage. Pallets allow for the transport of larger quantities of small products, as well as heavy, large, unusual, or irregularly shaped cargo.

Euro pallets (EURO/EPAL) are most commonly used for transport, but industrial pallets and custom pallets designed to meet the specific needs of the recipient or product specifications are also becoming increasingly common.

The popularity of this form of transport is due to several key factors

• simplification of transport and automation of logistics processes,
• reduced risk of mechanical damage,
• the ability to transport a variety of items, from construction materials to car parts and electronics,
• cost optimization.

Group cargo transport allows for collection of pallets directly from the sender and delivery to the recipient’s specified address, often with the option of notification.

Pallets are used to transport a wide variety of goods, including construction materials, car parts, electronics, machinery, equipment, and other items with unusual dimensions.

Pallets enable the transport of goods with unusual dimensions and irregular shapes that would be difficult to ship as standard parcels.

Weight and Dimensions – Key Shipment Parameters

Every pallet load must remain within certain limits. The weight, height, and width of the pallet directly impact the cost of transport and the choice of the means of transport. Standard dimensions for a Euro pallet are 80 cm x 120 cm, with a maximum height of 220 cm and a maximum weight of 1000 kg. However, JAS-FBG also offers solutions for heavier loads and oversized cargo.

Pallet Transport Order – Step by Step

To order pallet transport, just a few simple steps are needed:

1. Determine the type and number of pallets.
2. Provide the dimensions and weight of the load.
3. Select the pickup and delivery date.
4. Determine the contract terms and any insurance.

After accepting the order, JAS-FBG organizes loading, transport, and unloading, ensuring timely delivery.

How to prepare a pallet for shipment? How to secure the goods?

Once we have determined the pallet’s dimensions and weight, we can begin preparing it. To ensure smooth and safe shipment, this must be done properly.

Goods should be evenly distributed, stable, and secured with stretch film, and if necessary, strapping or protective corners. This type of protection minimizes the risk of mechanical damage during transport.

Safety and Insurance in Pallet Transport

Safety is one of the priorities in transport. Proper cargo securing, an experienced freight forwarder, and insurance ensure that even valuable products are protected at every stage of transport.

Pallet Shipping – Domestic and International

Pallet shipping can be used both domestically and internationally. JAS-FBG offers pallet transport services throughout Poland and Europe, providing flexible offers, tailored contracts, and competitive rates.

Domestic Pallet Shipments: Delivery time is crucial for the domestic market. Standard delivery is within the next business day from the date of pickup, although other time options are possible depending on the location. JAS-FBG ensures timely delivery of shipments while maintaining the highest quality standards.

International pallet shipments: International shipments require additional coordination, knowledge of procedures, and the appropriate carrier. JAS-FBG offers full support in planning, documentation, and optional insurance to enhance the security of international transport.

Delivery Time and Service Flexibility

One of JAS-FBG’s key advantages is its short delivery times. For domestic groupage shipments, palletized shipments are typically delivered the next business day, while for international routes, the delivery time is agreed upon individually. Thanks to our extensive domestic logistics network and regular European routes, we can ensure fast and on-time delivery.
