Buying slabs

Pallet freight

Pallet freight carries a slab or grouped goods secured to a pallet for handling by forklift or pallet truck.

It protects the load and gives carriers a standard handling base. Long or irregular slabs may need an oversize pallet or purpose-built support.

Check total dimensions, weight and unloading access. The pallet footprint can be larger than the timber itself.
