About Palletforce

Palletforce is a leading pallet network in the United Kingdom, specializing in the distribution of palletised freight. Founded in 2001, the company was established by its members to create a robust and efficient network. It operates as a member-owned network, comprising over 120 strategically located depots across the UK, which are independent transport companies. This cooperative structure allows for extensive national coverage and tailored local services.

The company's core business revolves around collecting and delivering palletised goods for a diverse range of business-to-business clients, from small and medium-sized enterprises to large blue-chip companies across various sectors including retail, manufacturing, and construction. Palletforce utilizes a central SuperHub in Burton upon Trent, a technologically advanced facility that can process over 30,000 pallets nightly. This hub-and-spoke model, combined with proprietary technology like the Alliance software, enables efficient overnight freight distribution throughout the UK and into Europe.

In 2015, Palletforce was acquired by EV Cargo, a global logistics company, which has further expanded its resources and international reach. The company offers a variety of services, including next-day and economy delivery options for different pallet sizes, alongside specialized services for hazardous materials. A key feature is its advanced tracking technology, which provides real-time visibility of shipments from collection to delivery, enhancing transparency and customer service.
