The airport sits south of the city between the M56 and M60, with cargo facilities and a substantial surrounding population of forwarders, handling agents and courier operations through Wythenshawe, Trafford Park and Salford. Northern exporters that would otherwise route south use Manchester to shorten road legs.
The regional economy behind it — chemicals, textiles, engineering, food and drink, life sciences — produces a wide spread of pallet requirements, from hygiene-driven plastic to treated timber for deep-sea container traffic through Liverpool and the Humber.
Pallet use cases here
Road feeder services to European hubs
Trucked air freight legs mean cargo is handled as road freight first. Pallet condition on arrival at the hub determines whether it can be built without re-work.
Life sciences and chemicals movements
Hygiene, containment and customer-specified packaging standards frequently point to new timber or plastic rather than graded used stock.
Regional food and drink distribution
High-volume UK 1200x1000 flows across the North West, with regular surplus pallet accumulation at depots.
Catchment
Manchester, Stockport, Trafford, Warrington, Salford and the M56, M60 and M62 corridors.
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.
