As a leading provider of international transport solutions for Irish businesses, TCB Group has become synonymous with efficiency, reliability, and value. Through our European Pallet Collection services, we provide Irish importers and exporters with seamless, end-to-end logistics across Central and Eastern Europe.
Our steadfast approach to European pallet collection and delivery services ensures fast transit times, transparent pricing, and flexible solutions for businesses of all sizes. Whether you’re shipping palletised goods, managing complex customs processes, or requiring specialist handling, TCB Group delivers trusted logistics performance every time.
Delivering Dependable European Collection Services for Irish Businesses
At TCB Group, we understand that European trade demands a partner with both scale and flexibility. That’s why our European Collection Service is built around weekly LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) and groupage transport, providing customers with a cost-effective and dependable way to move goods between Ireland and the continent.
We operate bi-weekly European pallet collection services to and from Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Poland, Switzerland, Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, and the wider Balkan region. This network gives Irish companies direct access to key European markets with reliable, scheduled departures and competitive transit times.
Seamless Import and Export Operations
For export consignments, TCB Group can receive goods into our Dublin and Belfast warehouses or collect directly from any location in Ireland. On the import side, our European pallet collection teams gather pallet-sized shipments from across Europe for fast and secure delivery anywhere in Ireland.
With end-to-end management, including import and export customs clearance, TCB Group removes the complexity from cross-border European pallet collection so businesses can focus on growth instead of paperwork.
Strong Network Partnerships for Faster and More Affordable Freight
TCB Group has secured strategic partnerships with major European pallet collection networks, enabling bi-weekly, reliable, and cost-effective pallet delivery services. These partnerships ensure that even when capacity is tight, our customers’ freight moves on time and within budget.
Optimised Multi-Modal Transport Options
Unlike many other freight providers, TCB Group can optimise routes using a combination of road and sea freight. Our direct sea freight services between Dublin and Rotterdam ports provide an alternative to the traditional UK landbridge route, often just as quick, but at a significantly lower cost.
This innovative approach has helped Irish businesses reduce transport costs and shorten lead times, while also supporting sustainability by reducing unnecessary road mileage.
Key Benefit: TCB Group’s integrated road and sea freight network reduces European pallet collection costs by up to 20% for certain routes.
Enhanced Transit Efficiency Through European Partnerships
In 2025, TCB Group strengthened its European pallet collection service by teaming up with a top-tier road freight partner in Central and Eastern Europe. This partnership has doubled our departure frequency, enabling two weekly services from multiple European hubs into Ireland.
This development has made our European pallet collection service one of the most efficient in the Irish market, reducing transit times, improving delivery predictability, and ensuring our customers receive consistent service even during seasonal peaks.
Handling Non-Standard Freight with Expertise
Beyond standard palletised goods, TCB Group is uniquely positioned to handle oversize or “awkward” loads that traditional pallet networks cannot accommodate. Our experienced logistics team plans each movement carefully, ensuring compliance with EU road transport regulations, permits, and safety standards.
Transparent Freight Rates and Instant Online Quotes
