Abstract:
A pallet is a portable platform which allows
the collection of different or uniform packages
to form a unit for transport or storage.
First of all pallets are used for handling by
forklift trucks, but they can also be turned over
by cranes or lifting tables. The pallet is the ideal
transport medium for internal and outside use.
It is assembled from boards, blocks or bearers,
so that the forks can either enter from all sides
(four-way entry block pallet) or from two sides
only (two-way entry bearer pallet).
The boards, bearers or blocks in correct sizes
are obtained from a sawmill. They can be cut
from materials of minor quality which otherwise
cannot be used for high-quality articles (furniture,
building, flooring, etc.).
