One pallet or several: your pallet transport travels directly from sender to recipient – no cross-docking, no freight network. Calculate the price and book instantly.
For one pallet with a fixed delivery time, choose a provider that checks dimensions, weight, stackability and loading support before dispatching the correct vehicle. Maxmove offers pallet transport as a direct run with an instant quote, live tracking and digital proof of delivery. Conventional groupage may cost less when timing is flexible, but normally involves hub handling and longer lead time.
| Priority | Direct run | Groupage network |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery | Straight to the recipient | Usually hub handling |
| Speed | Fixed, short time windows | Flexible lead time |
| Shipment | Single pallet to part load | Standardised pallets |
A Euro pallet measures 1,200 × 800 mm. Provide total height, total weight, stackability, and whether a forklift or tail lift is available. A Caddy typically takes 1–2 and a Sprinter 3–5 Euro pallets depending on length; payload and body remain binding.

Your pallet is never transshipped and passes through no depot – it stays on the same vehicle from start to destination.
From a Sprinter for one euro pallet to a 3.5-tonner with tail lift – you choose the vehicle class right at booking.
No quote form, no callback: enter the route and see the binding price for your pallet shipment immediately.
Regular pallet transports, general cargo, and part loads – with API integration, consolidated invoicing, and fixed terms.
Rule of thumb: a long-wheelbase Sprinter takes up to 4 euro pallets, a 3.5-tonner box van up to 8 – load area and payload are what matter. All dimensions and weights in the pallet guide →
Whether it is a single euro pallet leaving a warehouse at the Duisburg port or several slots going straight to a works gate, these trips fail at the same point: the handover in the depot. Driven direct, that point never arises.
Around duisport and the logport sites in Duisburg, goods sit in halls when they are due at the consignee the same day – miss the slot at the ramp and it lapses, leaving the pallet standing until the next working day. Run as an express transport it goes direct instead: one vehicle exclusively for the job, no depot, nothing reloaded, handover at the gate you name. Live tracking on the map shows where the pallet is at any moment.
The sender in Cologne loads by forklift, the consignee has a backyard and a kerb – and the pallet ends the trip still on the load bed, heading back. Tell us at booking what loading equipment is available on site and a vehicle with a tail lift and pallet truck comes instead; gate, hall and contact person go into the notes field. What that equipment costs is part of the instant price before you book, not of a later recalculation.
Anyone bringing supplier parts into Chempark Uerdingen in Krefeld registers with site security and works to fixed gate times – arrive late and the line stands still while the shift loses its slot. A direct delivery skips the transshipment warehouse altogether: one vehicle exclusively for the job, handover at the ramp you name, gate time and contact person in the notes field. The digital proof of delivery records the handover with photo, signature and time stamp.
Pallet work runs on vans, long-wheelbase Sprinters, the 3.5-tonne box van and the open flatbed – the table compares payload, pallet slots and load area for each class so you know what actually fits before you book. From-prices are calculated live by our pricing engine for the Cologne → Düsseldorf corridor rather than taken from a fixed list, and the open flatbed books as a special transport on request.
