Freight Pallet and Skid Definitions

Freight Pallet and Skid Definitions

A skid is a single-deck loading platform which lacks a bottom deck. It is a low-profile mobile platform which simply rests on pedestals attached to the deck. 

Skids were used extensively before the creation of the double faced pallet in the 1930s.





When defining a Pallet or Skid, you need to specify the weight of the Pallet/Skid itself as well as the total weight it can carry.






You need to also set the Width, Height and Depth of the empty Pallet or Skid itself.


You can define as many pallet sizes as you require.



When defining cartons you can select to link the carton to a pallet, setting the minimum and maximum numbers of this size carton can fit on the pallet.
