Does a pallet rating prove the delivery tail lift can handle it?

Applies to: Named UK carrier service example; verify at booking

No. The delivery service and equipment have separate limits. Palletways Online currently specifies a 750 kg tail-lift limit for its service; this must not be generalised to every carrier or vehicle. Confirm the complete load and booked unloading arrangement.

What to check next

• Include the pallet and packaging when declaring weight.
• Confirm any handling-equipment allowance with the operator.
