Warehouse platform is a term used to describe the type of equipment used in warehouses for the storage and transportation of goods. PALLET (6 letters) and SKID (4 letters) are two common types of warehouse platforms. A PALLET is a flat transport structure that supports goods in a stable fashion while being lifted by a forklift, PALLET jack, front loader, or other jacking device. A SKID is a platform with no bottom deck boards, typically used to move goods around a warehouse.
