Lets start with history. Wooden pallets date back
to 1000 B.C. Egiptians used sheets of wood for
transport and storage. These wooden sheets are
called skids or sleads. They are still in use but
their shape and durability has changed a lot.
It was the during the early 1920’s, shortly after
the modern forklift was invented, when skids
evolved into pallets, revolutionizing the way
merchandise was stored and transported. The
new design of pallets allowed goods to be moved,
stored and stacked with extraordinary speed and
versatility.
