Plastic Skid with 3300 lbs Capacity

The plastic skid from Vestil, model SKID-20, features a grid-shaped deck and fork openings on all four sides. It is designed to provide support and transport for goods and can be lifted using a pallet truck or forklift truck, which are sold separately. The skid is constructed of polyethylene, which offers several advantages over wood, such as being splinter-free, easy to wipe clean, and resistant to dents and corrosion.

The fork openings on all four sides enable easy access with a pallet truck or forklift truck from any direction, while the grid-shaped decks allow for liquid drainage. Additionally, two or more skids can be stacked for convenient storage. With a static load capacity of 3,300 lb. and a dynamic load capacity of 660 lb., this skid weighs 20 lb. and measures approximately 5-1/2 x 48 x 40 inches (H x W x D).

Pallets are low platforms that can support heavy loads and can also be lifted and transported using a pallet truck or forklift truck. These pallets can be constructed from a variety of materials such as wood, polyethylene, steel, aluminum, cardboard, and others. Loads can be bundled and secured to the pallet using straps or stretch wrap. Four-way pallets can be lifted and moved with a pallet truck or forklift truck from any side. They may also be color-coded for identifying different types of loads or to indicate load capacity.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) recognizes six standard pallet sizes, with the most common size in North America being 48 x 40 inches (W x D). Pallets without a bottom deck are referred to as skids and are suitable for use in warehouses, stockrooms, manufacturing and shipping facilities, and various other industrial environments.
