What is a pallet?
· A pallet is a flat transport structure designed to support a variety of goods in a stable fashion while being lifted by any mobile forklift, pallet jack, or other jacking device.
· The goods are placed on top of the pallet, and can be secured to it by straps or stretch-wrapped plastic film.
Pallets, the base of most modern materials handling systems, do more than carry loads. Applied correctly, they can also protect their loads—as well as the supply chains through which they travel.
