What is a Pallet?

A pallet, often considered the cornerstone of material handling logistics, is a horizontal platform device that facilitates the stable transport of goods. It’s usually designed to be easily lifted by mechanical devices like forklifts, pallet jacks, front loaders, or other types of lifting equipment.

Pallets are commonly constructed from various materials including wood, plastic, or metal. They provide an organized, secure and efficient way to stack, store, protect, and move items throughout the supply chain. From the warehouse to the store floor, pallets play a crucial role in ensuring goods are transported safely and efficiently, reducing the risk of damage and improving operational productivity.
