Pallet Delivery Services Australia

Sending pallets shouldn't be complicated. Quick Cargo offers local same-day pallet delivery in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, plus general freight transport across the rest of Australia. A standard Australian pallet is 1165 x 1165 mm. We move anything from a single pallet up to 22 pallets on a semi-trailer or 56 on a mezzanine B-double (items must be no taller than 1.3 m), and we'll match your load to the right service and the right truck.

Is same-day pallet delivery available in my city?

Same-day delivery runs within Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane metro areas. Bookings close at 12:00 pm. When you need it there today, our same-day service gives your pallets priority pickup and delivery booked around your timing — from $175 per pallet within a metro area. It's the fastest option for urgent stock, replacements and time-critical freight that can't wait for a standard run.

How does general pallet freight work?

General freight moves your pallets through our national freight network at a cost-effective rate. A single pallet from Sydney to Melbourne starts from $295, with transit of 1–2 business days. Your freight travels alongside other goods, which keeps the price down — ideal for non-urgent deliveries where a few days of transit is fine. It covers all of Australia, including Perth, Adelaide and regional areas.

What vehicles and load sizes are available?

Vehicle Max pallets
Semi-trailer 22 pallets
Semi-trailer (mezzanine, items ≤ 1.3 m tall) 38 pallets
B-double 34 pallets
B-double (mezzanine, items ≤ 1.3 m tall) 56 pallets

We also move single pallets — there's no minimum load.

What if there's no forklift at the delivery site?

No forklift at the delivery site? No problem. Add a tail-lift for straightforward ground-level delivery, a Moffett that lifts up to 1.5 tonnes per load for rough or uneven sites, or a Hiab that lifts up to 2 tonnes at short reach for heavy pallets that need crane placement. Let us know when you book and we'll send the right truck for the job.

What does every consignment include?

Every consignment includes $500 cover as standard.

Coverage

Same-day pallet delivery is available across the Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane metro areas. General pallet freight covers all of Australia — Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, regional areas and everywhere in between.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between same-day and general pallet delivery? Same-day is our fastest local option — priority pickup and delivery within Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, from $175 per pallet, with bookings closing at 12:00 pm. General freight moves your pallets through our national network at a lower rate, with a single pallet Sydney to Melbourne from $295 and transit of 1–2 business days. Same-day when it's urgent and local, General when it's not.

Can I send a single pallet? Yes. We move single pallets through our general freight network — there's no minimum, so you only pay for the space you use. We can also handle multi-pallet consignments right up to 22 pallets on a semi-trailer, 38 on a mezzanine semi-trailer (items must be no taller than 1.3 m), 34 on a B-double, or 56 on a mezzanine B-double (items must be no taller than 1.3 m).

What if there's no forklift at the delivery site? No problem. A tail-lift handles straightforward ground-level delivery, a Moffett lifts up to 1.5 tonnes per load for rough or uneven sites, and a Hiab crane lifts up to 2 tonnes at short reach for heavy pallets that need crane placement. Just let us know when you book and we'll send the right truck.
