Meet The Fleet


7.5 Tonne

The smallest vehicle on our fleet and widely available throughout Palletline, the 7.5 tonne is suitable for deliveries where there is restricted access. Equipped with a tail lift for loading and unloading without the need for a forklift, this is an ideal vehicle for residential deliveries. Limited though to holding, on average, up to 4 standard pallets, with a loading limit of circa 2 tonnes, this is not suitable for larger consignments or heavy freight. A special request has to be made to plan on one of these size lorries, so please ensure you specify a small vehicle when booking your transport job if it is required.

Rigid

Our most common vehicle and the network standard in Palletline. This is the vehilce we use for most of our deliveries. On average these lorries can hold up to 14 standard pallets, with a maximum load weight of 8 tonnes. All of our rigids have a tail lift for ease of loading and unloading without the need for a forklift. You may also hear the term Urban used. These are similar in size to the Rigid, but can hold more pallets with a greater load weight. For larger loads where there is tighter access these vehicles are a sound option, pre-planning is essential though as they are not as widely available.

Artic

This is the largest vehicle we use for deliveries. A combination of a tractor unit (or cab) and a trailer, connected by a pivotal point enabling better manoeuvrability.  Also known as curtainsiders or tautliners these lorries can hold up to 26 standard pallets with a load weight of 26 tonnes. None of our artics have tail lifts, so loading or unloading facilities need to be available. Generally used for full load work, these are ideal vehicles for large deliveries into regional distribution centres. 

Double Decker

These are our super sized lorries. Used mainly to trunk our freight into Palletline's regional hubs for onward distribution throughout the network. These double decked trailers have two adjustable platforms enabling up to 44 standard pallets to be transported at once. Not all delivery points are equipped to receive these size vehicles, so it is essential this is checked prior to being used.
