Pallet Pickups supplies Australian-standard timber pallets to businesses across the Perth Airport estate, one of the busiest freight and logistics precincts in the state. We support the distribution centres, freight operators and retailers on the estate with pallet delivery, used pallet collection and bulk supply. In a precinct where a held-up load costs real money, we keep supply dependable and turnaround tight.
The estate sits on Commonwealth-owned land about 12km east of the Perth CBD, minutes from the Kewdale Freight Terminal. That connectivity is why it moves so much stock, and stock on that scale moves on pallets. We work heavily with commercial businesses, so everything we offer is built for how a busy logistics or distribution operation runs.
Local Pallet Supply For The Airport Estate
Perth Airport the suburb is split into four precincts, and Airport South is the freight and logistics core, described as one of the best-connected industrial spots in the metropolitan area. It runs within minutes of the Kewdale Freight Terminal, with direct links to the airport terminals and quick access out to the major highways.
That connectivity is why so many large operators are based here. Officeworks runs a 15,000sqm distribution centre that opened in 2023, and the estate also houses names like Australia Post, StarTrack, Cummins, WesTrac and Siemens, alongside the Perth Mint refinery. When a distribution centre is turning over freight all day, the pallet supply behind it has to hold up, because a gap in it stalls everything downstream. We supply into all of it and keep sites stocked so nothing waits on the pallets.
From Horrie Miller Drive To The DFO End
The estate is not one uniform block. Horrie Miller Drive is the main road through the commercial and industrial properties in the south, running past warehouses, freight facilities and distribution centres. Tonkin Highway sits alongside, with links to the Roe and Leach Highways less than a kilometre away, so getting a load in and out is quick.
The other end of the estate has a strong retail draw, with DFO Perth, Dunreath Village and WA’s first Costco pulling steady foot traffic. Distribution centres and retailers on the estate take freight on pallets around the clock, and the used ones stack up just as quickly, which makes the collection side here as active as the supply side. Each business uses pallets differently, so we match the pallet to the work: a freight operator, a distribution centre and a large-format retailer all need different grades and volumes, and we will steer you to the right one rather than leave you to guess.
Pallet Delivery Across The Airport Estate
With Tonkin Highway and the freight routes right there, getting around the estate is quick. We deliver pallets to your airport precinct site on a day and time that suits your operation, rather than a vague window that ties up your dock.
If a load lands sooner than planned and leaves you short, let us know. We are through Perth’s east regularly, so a fast turnaround is usually straightforward. That speed matters most in a precinct that runs to a schedule, where a shortage can hold up an inbound or outbound run. We work around how your site operates, whether that is a distribution centre off Horrie Miller Drive or a smaller unit elsewhere on the estate.
Clearing The Pallets You No Longer Need
A large-format retailer taking regular deliveries clears just as many pallets as a warehouse does, and once they build up beside the dock they get in the way and become a job nobody wants to own. On an estate this busy, that surplus timber blocks access and eats space you could be using.
We haul the used pallets away so your site stays clear and workable. The ones still in good condition we refurbish and put back into use, which often makes the collection worth something to you rather than just a cost. If you are unsure whether what you have qualifies, send a few photos through to sales@palletpickups.com.au and we will let you know.
Bulk Pallet Supply Built Around Your Schedule
Plenty of airport-estate operators move enough volume that ordering a handful of pallets at a time makes little sense. For a distribution centre or a freight operator, the supply just needs to be there when it is needed.
We can line up steady bulk supply so pallets arrive in line with what you use. You give us the numbers and the frequency, and we handle the rest, so there is no running short mid-shift and no scramble when a large consignment comes through and the stack is low. For a business that plans around a freight schedule, a standing arrangement takes the reordering off your plate, and where it suits we combine supply and collection on the same visit so fresh pallets land as empties leave.
Australian-Made Pallets, Graded At Wangara
Our stock is Australian-made, Australian-standard timber at 1165mm x 1165mm, alongside the heavy-duty Euro (EPAL) pallet. A standard-sized Australian pallet is what most local racking, transport and handling equipment is set up for, which is exactly why we focus on it.
Each refurbished pallet is checked, repaired where a board has gone, and graded at the Wangara warehouse we work out of before it leaves, so what turns up is fit for the job rather than whatever came off a truck. If you want to see the options first, the range of pallets we stock covers the common grades. The result is a sound, reliable pallet at a better price than new, without the risk of one giving way under load at the worst possible time, and it keeps good timber in service rather than in landfill.
Why Airport Operators Work With Us
There is no shortage of pallet suppliers in Perth, so we do not take the work for granted. What keeps airport-estate operators with us is that we are reliable, we are quick, and we handle both sides of the pallet cycle. We supply and we collect, so you have one contact for both rather than two suppliers to manage, and because we refurbish good timber we can often work out a fair price on what you buy and what you clear at once. In a precinct where timing is everything, a supplier who does what they say beats a cheaper one who leaves you chasing.
Ordering Pallets For Your Airport Site
Tell us what you need, buying, clearing or both, and roughly how much, and we will fit a price and a time around your schedule. The fastest way to start is a call to 0429 932 957 or an email to sales@palletpickups.com.au, or you can run your order past us.
We supply plenty of the surrounding areas too, so if you run more than one site we can cover it, including Kewdale just next door, the Welshpool strip next door, and Belmont just to the north.
Common Questions From Airport Estate Businesses
Do you deliver into Airport South? Yes, right across the freight and logistics core, along Horrie Miller Drive and out to the units near the terminals. With Tonkin Highway alongside, turnaround is usually quick.
Can you collect used pallets from my estate site? Yes, from commercial sites across all four precincts. The reusable ones go back into service once refurbished, so a pickup can put a bit of value your way.
We run a distribution centre and turn over a lot of freight. Can you keep us supplied? Yes, that is what bulk supply is for. Give us your volume and timing and we will keep it arriving so a shortage never holds up a load.
What pallets do you supply? Australian-made 1165mm x 1165mm timber pallets, plus the heavy-duty Euro (EPAL) pallet for heavier or racked loads. Give us the load and weight and we will match the right one.
Are your refurbished pallets fit for high-volume handling? Yes. Each is inspected and any damaged boards replaced before it goes back out, so it holds up under constant forklift and dispatch work.
How do I find out if my used pallets can be collected? Email a few photos to sales@palletpickups.com.au with a rough quantity and we will give you a straight answer.
How fast can you reach the estate? We run Perth’s east most weeks, so it is usually quick. Send your timing through and we will be honest about when we can be there.
Do you supply the DFO and Costco retailers too? Yes. Those retailers and their suppliers move plenty of stock on pallets, and we cover that end of the estate the same as the distribution centres.
Can you deliver and collect in the same run? Often, yes. If you are taking freight in and clearing empties out, we can line both up as one visit.
Who do you usually supply on the estate? Commercial operators, from the distribution centres and freight businesses in Airport South to the large-format retailers around the DFO and Costco end.
