Bristol pallets, crates and export packaging, made in Devon and delivered on our own lorry or by courier, whichever suits the load.
We deliver into Bristol two ways: on our own lorries up the M5, or by courier when that gets the order there sooner. Either way the pallets, crates and export cases are built at our 300,000 sq ft factory in Bideford, and long, heavy one-off cases go on our own lorry so they arrive in one piece.
Heat-treated, FC0542-marked crates for loads through Avonmouth and Portbury.
Cases built to drawing for the Filton aerospace and engineering cluster.
Lighter, collapsible cases where weight or return matters.
Pallets to a consistent specification for Severnside distribution.
Treated in our own kilns, ready for the port.
Design, build, ISPM 15 marking and delivery from one supplier.
Also made at Bideford: bespoke wooden pallets, wooden shipping crates, osb crates, plywood crates, slatted timber crates, machinery export crates, server rack crates, shock pallets, hybrid packaging, export packaging, contract packing, cardboard packaging and packaging and consumables.
Bristol is a straight run up the M5 from our Bideford factory. We deliver across the city and out to the industrial areas: Avonmouth, Severnside, Filton, St Philips, Brislington and Cribbs Causeway.
Most Bristol orders go on our own HGVs; some go by courier when that gets them there sooner. Long, heavy one-off cases always go on our own lorry, delivered in one piece to a booked slot, which is the sort of load a pallet network will not take.
Avonmouth and Royal Portbury are on Bristol’s doorstep, and the distribution centres across Severnside handle export loads every day. Pallets going through either port must be heat treated and marked to ISPM 15.
Pallets for Bristol exporters are treated in our two 300-pallet kilns at Bideford and stamped FC0542, then sent up on our own lorry or by courier. Export crates are built from heat-treated timber and marked under the same registration, ready for Avonmouth or Portbury.

The Filton aerospace cluster ships high-value assemblies that are rarely a standard size. Bespoke cases built to drawing, with internal bracing, and lifting provision where the load needs it.
Avonmouth and Royal Portbury handle a very large share of UK trade. Anything crossing a border in solid timber packaging must be ISPM 15 heat-treated and marked: we treat pallets in our own kilns, build crates from heat-treated timber and mark under registration FC0542.
Severnside and Avonmouth are among the country’s biggest distribution hubs. High-volume new pallets to a consistent specification, delivered to a booked slot.
Bristol’s manufacturers need pallets that handle cleanly and stack safely. We specify to the load rather than supplying a generic pallet and hoping it holds.
Yes: on our own fleet up the M5 from Bideford, or by courier, covering Bristol and North Somerset. Tell us the order and we will say which and when.
Yes. ISPM 15 heat-treated crates and cases, marked under our own registration FC0542, plus plywood riveted cases where a lighter or collapsible case suits better.
Yes. Send the dimensions, the weight and how it is lifted. Heavy plant, long lengths and awkward shapes are routine for us, it is the sort of work pallet networks turn away.
Used pallets and collection are a South West service on our own fleet, so they are not a standing offer in Bristol. Ring 01237 423772 and we will tell you whether a run can include you.
We also deliver, on our own fleet or by courier, to Portishead, Clevedon, Weston-super-Mare, Thornbury, Yate, Keynsham and Nailsea. If you are outside Bristol, call 01237 423772 and we will tell you straight whether you are on a route.
