Pallets - Hire

One of the most useful tools you can hire to assist the handling and efficient storage of goods is the pallet. Though sometimes mistakenly called a skid, it is described as a flat structure that enables goods to be supported whilst being lifted by a front loader, work saver, a pallet jack as well as a forklift.
When hiring they structures, remember that they can be made of metal, recycled materials, wood, paper or plastic. The most popular material used in the entire world is wood. Whilst all the properties above have their own advantages and disadvantages, the wood option seems to have been widely accepted as the best for use around the world.

A forklift and a pallet go hand in hand. It is not usual to see one without the other particularly in a warehouse. This ingenious wooden structure can also be found at shipping locations where the goods are actually sitting on the device to enable efficient transportation at their destination.

This structure is often rented together with boxes, skid boards, crates and bulk bins as they all have different function when it comes to assistance in lifting and storing goods. When chartering these structures it is best to rent them in bulk as it may be more expensive to keep hiring them individually. This will also depend on the goods that need to be transported and how often this will be done.
