A pallet is a flat horizontal, portable wooden structure used as a base to stack, store, and transport goods. It is commonly used in warehouses, factories, and transportation to efficiently handle and move large quantities of items. Pallets come in various sizes and designs, but they generally consist of a platform with two-way or four-way entry points, allowing forklifts, pallet jacks, and other handling equipment to lift and move them easily. Pallets assist in reducing manual handling efforts and improving operational efficiency. They enable bulk handling by consolidating smaller units into larger loads, simplifying inventory management and speeding up truck and container loading and unloading.
