Large Pallet UK distribution ?

[SagMan]

Please can anyone recommend logistics company who are prepared to distribute pallets throughout U.K. Pallet footprint will be up to 4.2m x 1.6m and May way 200 kg. I've had discussions with Tuffnells, TNT, DPD and a few others but struggling to find partner.

Thanks for any help

Sincere apologies for lack of response, just returned from a minor op.

Thanks for all responses, I will go through in detail this week.

I have cartons for one off product (it weighs 9kgs without packaging) then pallet for multiple products.

Many thanks again

Sorry More details as discussed:

The product is aluminium sheet is various sizes. We could have one-off high value sheets (could be one sheet per delivery) in sizes up to 5 m x 1.2m. Sheet could weigh 15kgs. This would require a bespoke carton making and very limited for stacking.

Then we have an engineered sheet product in sizes 4m x 1.5mm and would weigh 50kgs per sheet and these would be higher volumes. I see this delivery on a pallet and be able to be stacked.

It would be a UK service needed and the volumes will be 40-60 jobs per week to start.
Thanks

I've just been thinking about this some more. So 40-60 jobs per week, the product is flat but large, but not particularly heavy (can be handled by a single person). Why are you not buying a fleet of LWB flatbed or curtain side vans with a sleeper pod and doing your own transport? 40-60 jobs across the UK means you're going to have a fair amount in the same area, so get a custom metal A-frame made up in the centre of the load bed in all your vans and then just load them with a week's worth of deliveries and off they go. At 50kg per job that's 20 jobs per van. Plus with your own drivers and in-house training you know the product will get there in one piece and undamaged.

Thanks for idea, it has certainly crossed my mind but was hoping there was an outsource solution.
But will investigate further
