Equipment
Pallet
A flat wooden or plastic platform used to stack and transport goods.
Detailed Explanation
Standard pallets in North America are 48 inches by 40 inches (48×40). Palletized freight is easier to load, unload, and store than loose freight. Pallets can be stacked and moved with forklifts or pallet jacks. In LTL shipping, freight is almost always palletized. Pallet weight capacity is typically 2,500-4,000 pounds.
