What Determines Your Pallet Storage Rate in Ireland?
- 1 Volume The more pallets you store, the lower the rate per unit. Businesses storing 50 or more pallets per week consistently qualify for volume-discounted rates. Contact us with your estimated volumes to receive an accurate quote.
- 2 Storage Duration Standard rates apply on a weekly basis. Longer-term storage at consistent volumes may attract additional discounts. There is no long-term minimum commitment at Joe McGovern Transport.
- 3 Handling Requirements Pure storage (pallet arrives, stays until called off) has the lowest handling cost. If you require goods-in checking, pick-and-pack fulfilment, or container devanning, these are charged in addition to the storage rate.
- 4 Distribution Distribution via Palletxpress is priced separately from storage. If you require 32-county overnight delivery, this is added to your storage costs but replaces the need for a separate haulier.
- 5 Product Type Standard ambient goods attract standard rates. Food products require food-licensed handling; this is included within our facility capability with no uplift for most ambient food storage.
