How we reduce emissions

The Palletforce distribution model is one of the most sustainable in the UK. We reduce delivery miles by using local members who travel to a central SuperHub with trucks that are at over 85% capacity, much higher than the industry average.

We further cut empty running by using using technology to advise members on how they can enhance truck fill even further. We are also the first network to utilise artificial intelligence technology to predict delivery issues before they happen – helping to reduce fuel, road journeys and emissions associated with re-deliveries.

Our network strength

The strength of Palletforce is underpinned by a national network of quality transport members and expert colleagues across operational, sales, IT, marketing and support functions.

120 member companies

10,000 network colleagues

150 UK depots

Over 30 countries covered

4,000 delivery vehicles

620,000 sq ft SuperHub
