A “pallet” sometimes inaccurately called a “skid” (a skid has no bottom deck boards) is a flat structure that supports goods in a stable fashion while being lifted by a forklift, pallet jack, front loader, work saver or other jacking devices. A pallet is the structural foundation of a unit load which allows handling and storage efficiencies. Goods or shipping containers are often placed on a pallet secured with strapping, stretch wrap or shrink wrap and shipped.
Pallets usage includes the following industries:
Motor vehicle parts.
Assembly plants.
Breweries.
Drink and bottling industries.
Brick manufacturers.
