    What is the cost of delivery?

    Delivery costs will be visible in the shopping cart and are calculated automatically based on the desired quantity of pallets and inputting the precise delivery address (postal code is mandatory).

    How many pallets can be delivered with one truck?

    Within a single delivery, it's possible to transport from 1 to 10 pallets. If there are more than 10 pallets in an order, two trucks will be provided for delivery.

    What type of truck facilitates the delivery?

    The truck arriving at the delivery location is approximately 12 tons in weight, 9 meters long, 2.45 meters wide, and 4 meters high. The vehicle is equipped with a lift for unloading pallets from the truck and pallet wheels to move them from the lift. Please note that the driver will only move the pallet within a 5-meter radius of the truck's location.

    What must be ensured at the delivery address for successful delivery?

    If it is not possible to deliver the cargo due to the recipient's fault, costs for returning the goods to the nearest Schenker terminal will be incurred.
    There should be no weight-restrictive signs on the road. Standard delivery is carried out with vehicles whose gross weight exceeds 10 tons.
    If the customer has restrictions on the width or height of the access road, there is an option for:

    • Delivery to be split and carried out with a vehicle with a gross weight of 5 tons, which can provide a 2-ton delivery at a time. The customer will incur additional delivery costs (50% of the total delivery costs for each additional trip).
    • Delivery by a bus that can provide a 2-ton delivery at a time with reloading at the terminal and palletizing. The customer may opt for manual loading, as the weight of a single unit must not exceed 500kg.

    It is crucial that, when making deliveries to private residential areas, the driver has the option to exit from the delivery site. This means either executing a safe turning maneuver or exiting on the opposite side (without using reverse gear).
    The cargo recipient must respond to the driver's calls.
    Deliveries are not provided with a manipulator.
    The access road and gate width should be at least 4 meters wide. The road surface must be stable and firm to safely accommodate the cargo vehicle, which has a gross weight exceeding 10 tons.
    Please verify that low-hanging branches do not obstruct the truck's access. In winter, the access road should be cleared.
    When making deliveries to private residential areas, make sure there is a sufficiently large, open area for the cargo vehicle to maneuver.
    For unloading pallets from the truck, a solid ground surface is necessary for using pallet wheels to lower the pallet. If the unloading area has grass, gravel, or sand, please prepare a sturdy material (boards, metal/wooden sheets, etc.) on which the pallets can be placed.
