Pallet shipping made easy with Amazon Freight

Pallet shipping is a preferred method of freight transport, especially for shippers with multiple or heavy loads. It offers a safe, efficient, and often more cost-effective way to transport goods. Choosing the right provider is crucial.

Learn more about the benefits and challenges of pallet shipping in Germany and internationally, and how Amazon Freight can help you optimise your pallet shipping processes.

Pallet shipping involves loading and securing goods onto a pallet – a flat platform made of wood, plastic or steel – for transport as a single unit to a logistics centre or other destination.

Pallet shipping is popular in various industries due to its simplicity, cargo protection and efficiency advantages. In particular, industries such as manufacturing, retail and e-commerce use pallet shipping to optimise their supply chains.

EASIER HANDLING

Pallets enable faster and easier handling because they can be easily moved with forklifts and pallet trucks. They can be stacked, which makes it easier to organise truck loads.

REDUCED RISK OF DAMAGE

Thanks to their robust construction, pallets protect the goods on them and minimise the risk of damage during transport. They also keep the goods away from damp or dirty surfaces.

IMPROVED EFFICIENCY

Despite their stability, pallets are lightweight and take up less space than other shipping containers. This increases transport efficiency and reduces potential problems in the supply chain.

Although shipping pallets offers many benefits, without the right service provider, challenges can arise, such as:

• Changing international regulations
• Complex insurance conditions
• Cumbersome booking processes
• Lack of tracking
• Uneven weight distribution
• Inefficient shipping costs
• Overcharged pallets

Choosing a reliable provider like Amazon Freight can help avoid these issues.
