Pallet Delivery Melbourne & Victoria

Drop-X assesses same-day metro and next-day regional pallet road-freight requests. Timing and availability are confirmed per booking. Call 1300 973 038 for a quote.

Drop-X assesses standard CHEP and Loscam pallets, plain timber pallets, European (EPAL) pallets, and oversized, large or awkward pallets. Published weight categories are per-pallet service guidelines, not the payload of a particular vehicle; actual freight fit, payload, handling and access are checked for each job. We are not a heavy-haulage operator, so we don't carry oversized machinery, steel lengths or loads that need a flat-bed, semi or permit.

Mainly size and weight. A Euro pallet is 1200 × 800 mm and travels on the Drop-X Euro rate ($88 same day, $79.20 next day) at up to 250 kg per pallet. The Australian standard pallet, the size used by CHEP and Loscam, is 1165 × 1165 mm and travels on the standard rate ($110 same day, $99 next day) at up to 500 kg per pallet. Anything larger, up to 2400 × 1650 mm and 1,000 kg, is an oversized pallet ($155 same day, $139.50 next day). All three rates cover loads up to 1500 mm high and include the first 50 km of road distance.

Yes. Drop-X delivers oversized pallets — over-height or over-width freight that's larger than a standard skid but still under one tonne. We send a three-tonne pantech with a tail-lift and extra restraints, and price oversized pallet delivery to the load and distance. Metro oversized pallets start from $155 per pallet. Call 1300 973 038 with the dimensions for an exact quote.

The published Drop-X figures—up to 500kg for standard, CHEP, Loscam and timber pallets, up to 250kg for European pallets, and up to 1,000kg for oversized and large pallets—are per-pallet categories for the pallet service. They are not a vehicle payload or a guarantee of acceptance. Dispatch checks the complete load, allocated vehicle payload, dimensions, handling and site access for each job.

A tail-lift may suit a ground-level delivery where there is no dock or forklift, subject to the freight, lift rating and safe site access being checked for the job. A pallet jack or other handling equipment is not automatically included; tell Drop-X dispatch how the freight needs to be moved and confirm the unloading plan.

Drop-X pallet delivery starts from $110 per standard pallet ($88 European, $155 oversized), and every pallet-rate booking includes the first 50 km of road distance. Beyond them — metro or regional — distance is $1.95 per km of road driving (kilometres beyond 100 at $2.50), all inc GST. These are per-pallet service rates, not a 10-pallet truck rate or full-truck quote; truck transport is quoted separately against the load and job details.

Absolutely. Many freight-account customers move pallets on scheduled daily or weekly runs — warehouse to fulfilment centre, factory to site, or supplier to store. Open a freight account or call dispatch to set up a standing pallet run with consolidated invoicing.

You can request single-pallet business road freight from Drop-X across Melbourne and Victoria with no minimum order. Pricing is per pallet; dispatch confirms a suitable vehicle and estimated timing per booking.

Drop-X offers 10-pallet trucks with tail lifts. Ten pallet positions describe nominal space, not payload or guaranteed fit: pallet dimensions, total weight, load arrangement, tail-lift suitability and access are checked for each job. Other pallet counts can be discussed with dispatch, who will confirm the appropriate vehicle and quote.

Drop-X assesses same-day and next-day pallet road-freight requests against addresses, freight and capacity. Dispatch confirms the available timing for each booking; same-day or next-day completion is not guaranteed.
