Why choose Demenagement Cargo Transport for pallet delivery in Montreal?
At Demenagement Cargo Transport, we understand the importance of fast, secure and hassle-free pallet delivery. Our fleet of trucks is equipped with tailgates to facilitate loading and unloading, whether for standard or oversized pallets. We offer handling services tailored to your needs, and our experienced team ensures that your goods are handled with the utmost care.
Standard or oversized pallets
Standard pallets are the most commonly used because of their practical size and ability to be easily handled with standard lifting equipment. However, in some cases, oversized pallets are required to transport larger objects or large quantities. Demenagement Cargo Transport is equipped to handle both types of pallet efficiently.
Advantages of Standard Pallets
- Ease of transport: They fit easily into most trucks, reducing transport costs.
- Simple handling: standard pallets can be easily moved with forklifts or pallet trucks, simplifying handling.
Oversized pallet management
- Specialized transport: Oversized pallets often require specialized transport, which can lead to additional costs.
- Complex handling: Larger or heavier pallets may require special handling, which we are ready to provide with our adapted equipment.
If you’re not sure what size pallet you need, we recommend you consult companies specializing in custom pallet sales:
What is Handling in Skid Delivery?
Handling refers to activities linked to the physical management of pallets during delivery. This includes loading, unloading and sometimes even moving pallets within your premises. A delivery service with handling is particularly useful for companies that don’t have the equipment or personnel to handle these tasks.
Advantages of Pallet Delivery with Handling
-
Time and effort saved: The main advantage is that all the physical work is taken care of by Déménagement Cargo Transport. You can concentrate on other aspects of your business while our professionals take care of the handling.
-
Reducing the risk of damage: Our specialist handling teams are trained to handle pallets with care, reducing the risk of damage to goods.
-
Efficiency: A service with handling ensures that your pallets are delivered exactly where you need them, which can be particularly advantageous in complex environments such as warehouses or construction sites.
Disadvantages of Pallet Delivery with Handling
-
Higher cost: Handling adds to the cost of pallet delivery. For some companies, these costs may not be justifiable if they already have the resources to manage handling in-house.
Pallet delivery without handling: Is it for you?
Opting for pallet delivery without handling can be a more economical option, especially if your company has the resources to manage the unloading and moving of pallets. This option is particularly suited to companies with trained personnel and suitable equipment, such as forklifts or pallet trucks.
Advantages of Handling-Free Pallet Delivery
-
Cost reduction: Removing handling from the equation reduces the overall cost of delivery. This can mean significant savings, especially for frequent deliveries.
-
Total control: By managing handling in-house, you have total control over the process, which can minimize errors and improve efficiency.
Disadvantages of Pallet Delivery without Handling
-
Risk of injury: If your personnel are not properly trained, or if the equipment is inadequate, there is an increased risk of injury and damage to goods.
-
Equipment investment: Managing materials handling in-house requires investment in equipment such as forklifts, which can represent a significant initial cost.
How to choose between delivery with or without handling in Montreal?
The choice between pallet delivery with or without handling depends on a number of factors specific to your company, including your budget, internal resources, and the complexity of the delivery. Here are some questions to ask yourself:
-
How big is your company? If you’re a small business with limited staff, it might make more sense to opt for a handling service.
-
Do you have the necessary equipment? If you already have the necessary equipment and personnel, delivery without handling could be a more cost-effective option.
-
How often do you deliver? For frequent deliveries, it may make sense to invest in in-house resources to save on handling costs in the long term.
Understanding costs - Pallet Transport Cost
The price of pallet delivery varies according to several key factors:
Pallet weight and dimensions: Standard pallets generally measure 48 x 40 inches, but if you have oversized pallets, transportation costs could be higher due to the need for extra space or specialized equipment.
Transport distance: The greater the distance between the point of departure and the destination, the higher the delivery costs. We offer competitive rates for local and long-distance deliveries.
Value of goods: The value of goods on pallets can influence the cost of insurance. At Demenagement Cargo Transport, we offer the right insurance to guarantee the safety of your belongings.
Handling services: If you require handling for loading or unloading, additional charges may apply. However, this service can save you time and avoid the risk of damage.
Here are some examples of flat-rate prices for pallet transport and delivery to the most popular destinations. Total weight must be 4200 kg / 9300 lb or less distributed over 8 pallets or less in standard format.
