Tail lift pallet delivery Birmingham and UK

Tail lift pallet delivery from Birmingham to every UK postcode, with no forklift needed at either end. Every UK Pro Deliveries Luton van carries a tail-lift, so the driver lowers your pallet, crate or machine to the ground at kerbside, whether the delivery is a shop, a workshop, a building site, a school or a home. Collections from businesses without loading equipment work the same way.

Our biggest van, the extra long Luton, takes eight pallets or 1,500 kg on a 5 x 2.2 x 2.2 metre body and is still driven on a car licence. For ten pallets and above we book a lorry through our carriers network. Each job is dedicated, GPS tracked and signed off with a photo and a signed proof of delivery.

How our tail-lift pallets and machinery service works

Tell us how many pallets or pieces you have, the size of each and the total weight, and whether there is a forklift at collection or delivery. Enter the two postcodes on the price form and the price for each van size is shown at once. Add any site notes: height limits, narrow roads, PPE rules, booking times. If a single item is heavier than usual, say so and we confirm the right vehicle before dispatch.

The driver collects within 30 to 60 minutes on a same day job, or at the booked time on an advance booking. Where there is no forklift, the pallet is loaded with the tail-lift and a pallet truck, strapped and secured, and the van leaves straight away. Your load is the only one on board, so nothing is stacked on top of it and nothing is transferred at a depot. The vehicle is GPS tracked throughout.

At delivery the driver lowers the pallet to the ground at the vehicle and moves it to kerbside with the pallet truck. Moving goods further, inside a building or up steps, needs arranging in advance. The driver takes a photo of the goods and a signature, and the signed proof of delivery reaches you digitally the same day. The first 30 minutes of waiting at each end are free.

Kerbside delivery explained

Kerbside means the goods are lowered to ground level at the vehicle and placed on a firm, level surface next to it. That is usually enough for a yard, a shop front, a loading area or a driveway. The driver uses a pallet truck to position the pallet, so a flat hard surface is needed: gravel, grass and steep slopes do not take a pallet truck.

If the goods need to go inside, up a step, into a lift or to a specific floor, tell us at booking. Some jobs can be done by the driver with hand-balling, charged by the hour, and others need a second person or a different vehicle. Deciding this before dispatch avoids a failed delivery and a return charge.

Machinery and heavy single items

A tail-lift has a safe working load, and a single machine or crate can exceed it even when the van's payload allows the weight. Tell us the weight, the footprint and whether the item is on a pallet, a skid or its own feet, and we match it to a vehicle whose tail-lift and body can take it, or book a lorry with a heavier lift through our carriers network.

Machinery is strapped and chocked for the journey and travels alone, so nothing is loaded against it. Where a machine must be rolled or jacked rather than lifted, we need to know before the driver arrives. For heavy items we recommend having a forklift available at one end, which usually widens the choice of vehicle and lowers the price.
