Palletline - Structure

So, How Does It All work?

We operate as a hub and spoke palletised distribution system. Think of it like a bicycle wheel. The Palletline Hub is the centre of the wheel with each of our members being a spoke on the wheel. They all join up and work in harmony.

We operate three hubs, our central facility near the NEC in Birmngham and three regional hubs in Manchester, North London and Cumbernauld in Glasgow. Each regional hub handles consignments for delivery in their area, ensuring we reduce miles travelled and our environmental objectives.

Palletised Distribution in Operation

Each member collects freight from their customers and identifies any freight for delivery outside of their local area. They then scan each pallet and trunk all of their network freight to one of our hubs. There each pallet is quality checked, scanned, unloaded and sorted into delivery areas.

Each member then collects pallet network freight which is for delivery in their local area - so effectively they simply exchange freight - and the pallets are scanned and quality checked again before leaving our site.

It all happens overnight. Simple yet very effective.

Freight is then taken back to the local delivery depot, scanned and checked then sorted into delivery areas, making sure that requests for timed deliveries or specific delivery needs are noted.

Deliveries are made, digital proof of deliveries uploaded and you, our customer, can see the delivery information online within moments.
