Types of pallets transported to Italy

You can ship these pallet formats to Italy:

European Pallets (120x80 cm)

The most widely used in Europe thanks to standardisation. They make good use of truck space and keep the load stable during transport to Italy.

American Pallets (120x100 cm)

American pallets are wider and give a sturdy base for bulkier or heavier goods. We work with carriers whose vehicles are equipped to carry them safely to Italy.

Custom Pallets

If your goods aren't on a standard pallet, enter their real dimensions and weight when you get a quote: the price is calculated from them.

Technical service specifications

Key facts about groupage to Italy:

Maximum Capacity

Your goods travel in trucks of up to 24,000 kg or 90 m³, shared with other loads.

Estimated Transit Time to Italy

The usual time from collection to delivery in Italy is 3-5 working days, depending on the exact origin and destination. Your shipment's transit time is shown in the quote.

Vehicles for shipments to Italy

The carriers we work with use these vehicles:
  • Tautliner: ideal for general cargo, offering flexibility and speed in loading and unloading.
  • Canvas-covered trucks: versatile, suitable for bulky and varied goods.
  • Rigid vehicles: for specific deliveries or delicate goods that need special transport conditions.

Loading and unloading in Italy

What to know before you ship:

Loading and unloading equipment

Goods are loaded and unloaded with a pallet truck or forklift. If there's no loading dock or forklift at origin or destination, let us know before booking: you'll need a truck with a tail lift.

Palletising and stowage

Goods must be secured to the pallet (stretch wrap or strapping) with the weight evenly spread, because in groupage they travel alongside other loads. The carrier positions and secures the pallets in the truck.

Insurance for shipments to Italy

There are two different kinds of cover, and they're easy to confuse:

Carrier's liability

The carrier is liable for damage under the CMR Convention, up to a limit per kilo. It doesn't cover the value of the goods.

Cargo insurance (optional)

Covers the value of the goods. See how it works in cargo insurance.
