Shipping Skids

Skids don’t have a bottom deck, which means they only have a single surface where the goods are loaded. They can easily be dragged throughout a warehouse, much like a pallet can. 

These platforms also provide a certain level of stability that can be beneficial for specific types of loads, which include:

• Generators
• Construction equipment
• Furniture
• Long pipes
• Medical equipment
• Precision instruments

Skids are useful in situations where height restrictions could be an issue. These platforms are slightly shorter, which means taller varieties of cargo can pass height requirements.
