London Gatwick pallet supply (LGW)
Gatwick's cargo activity is dominated by belly-hold freight on passenger services, which shapes exactly how consignments get palletised and re-palletised around it.

The airport has a dedicated cargo area and a large surrounding cluster of forwarders and handling agents through Crawley, Manor Royal and along the A23 and M23. Because much of the freight travels in the holds of passenger aircraft rather than on dedicated freighters, consignments are frequently built, split and rebuilt off-airport to suit what can actually be loaded.
That re-work cycle is what drives pallet demand. Cargo arrives on a road pallet, is broken down and re-built for the flight, and the empty timber then needs either collection or onward use. Sites here are usually short of space, so nestable and easily stackable options are often discussed alongside standard timber.
Pallet use cases here
Build-up and break-bulk re-palletising
Handling agents and forwarders re-work consignments repeatedly. Wooden transport pallets used for road and warehouse movement are not aircraft unit load devices, and specifying them as if they were causes avoidable problems at build-up.
Perishables and pharmaceutical handling
Temperature-controlled and high-value cargo brings cleanliness and consistency requirements, and sometimes a customer standard that specifies new timber or plastic.
Manor Royal and Crawley industrial distribution
The surrounding industrial estate runs conventional domestic distribution flows and generates a steady stream of surplus pallets suitable for collection assessment.
Catchment
Crawley, Horley, Redhill, Horsham, East Grinstead and the M23 corridor.
Wooden transport pallets are not aircraft unit load devices. We supply the pallets used to build, move and store freight on the ground; ULDs are aircraft equipment handled by airlines and their handling agents.
