Large timber pallet — Drop-X large pallet transport Melbourne and regional Victoria

Large or awkward pallets

Frequently asked

What's the heaviest single item Drop-X can move?
Drop-X focuses on palletised freight up to 1,000kg — one tonne — per pallet, which covers the vast majority of business deliveries. We're not a heavy-haulage operator, so we don't carry oversized machinery, steel lengths or loads that need a flat-bed, semi or permits. If it's on a standard or European pallet and under a tonne, we'll move it — call dispatch for an instant quote.
Do you handle fragile or high-value goods?
Yes. Drop-X carries public liability and goods-in-transit insurance, and we offer hand-to-hand chain of custody for high-value items. Flag fragile or high-value status at booking so we allocate the right driver and restraints.
Do you collect from residential addresses?
Drop-X operates between verified business locations — that focus is how we keep dispatch fast and reliable. Pickups or deliveries at residential addresses, shopping centres, hospitals, universities or other non-business sites are by prior arrangement only, so contact dispatch before booking.
Do you provide pallets, satchels or packaging?
No — Drop-X is a transport company, not a packaging supplier. Goods must be ready for transit at pickup. We're happy to advise on how to pack a pallet correctly so it survives the trip.
