What is a wooden pallet?

A wooden pallet is a flat transport structure typically made of wooden boards or blocks, used to support goods or materials during storage or transport. Pallets are commonly used for stacking, storing, and moving large quantities of goods, and they are often used in conjunction with forklifts or other material handling equipment.

Wooden pallets are made of various types of wood, including pine, oak, maple, and poplar, and they are often treated with chemicals to make them resistant to rot and decay. The design of the pallet can vary based on the intended use and load capacity. Some pallets have solid tops, while others have open spaces between the boards to allow for drainage and airflow.

Wooden pallets have been used for many decades and continue to be widely used in various industries due to their versatility, strength, and cost-effectiveness. They provide a standardized platform for easy handling and storage of goods and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
