Taunton is a straight run up the M5 for our lorries: new pallets on a standing order, crates for Somerset machinery and export packaging, made in Devon.
Taunton is a direct run for us, the link road onto the M5 and up to junction 25. Food and drink producers, cider makers and agricultural engineers around the town take new pallets on a standing order from our 300,000 sq ft factory in Bideford, with crates and export packaging built alongside.
Pallets on a standing order, scheduled round your production rather than a phone call.
Heavier boards and bearers for drinks loads that go on wet and stack high.
Crates for agricultural machinery, with skid bases for heavy plant.
Treated in our own kilns for food exporters using HT pallets throughout.
Economical crates for parts and produce leaving Somerset.
Reconditioned pallets, delivered and collected across Taunton and Wellington.
Also made at Bideford: wooden shipping crates, bespoke wooden crates, export crates, osb crates, plywood crates, plywood riveted cases, server rack crates, shock pallets, hybrid packaging, export packaging, export packing services, contract packing, cardboard packaging and packaging and consumables. We also collect and recycle used pallets on our South West runs.
Taunton is a direct run for us: the A361 North Devon Link Road onto the M5, then up to junction 25. Our fleet delivers into the town and the estates around it, including Blackbrook, Priorswood and Chelston over at Wellington.
The loads arrive on our own HGVs from Bideford. Nothing goes through a pallet network, so a full lorry of crates arrives together rather than in pieces across three days.
Food, drink and cider producers and agricultural machinery makers around Taunton export across Europe, usually up the M5 to Avonmouth or a forwarder. Food exporters often use heat-treated pallets throughout, so any pallet in the warehouse can go on an export order.
Taunton’s food and cider producers often run heat-treated pallets throughout, so any pallet in the warehouse can go on an export order. We treat in our own kilns at Bideford, mark FC0542 and deliver on the standing order, and build machinery crates from heat-treated timber under the same mark.

Somerset’s food and drink sector runs on volume. New pallets to a fixed specification, delivered on a standing order, are usually the sensible arrangement rather than ordering ad hoc.
Machinery leaving Somerset needs crating that survives a rough journey. We build to drawing, with skid bases for heavy plant.
The M5 corridor at Taunton is thick with distribution. High-volume pallets, consistent sizing and a collection service for the empties.
Drinks producers need pallets that stack safely when loaded heavy and wet. We can specify board thickness and fixing pattern to suit the load rather than supplying a generic pallet.
Yes: regularly, on our own fleet, straight up the M5 from our factory in Bideford.
Yes, and for most customers taking volume it works out better than ordering each time. We hold stock and schedule deliveries to suit your production, so you are not chasing pallets on a Friday afternoon.
