I have been going crazy trying to remember another word I once heard for pallet, as in a wooden portable platform used for storing or moving cargo or freight.
I heard it used in factories in New England if it helps.
Dolly? Flat?
I been places where they were called skids.
Pallet was more common–'cause we used pallet jacks to move them.
Skids is the term I’m familiar with.
I know a few words for them but they are more suitable for the pit.
I work with pallets all weekend and let me tell you they are a big pain in the butt.
New England does have some unusal names for things. A milk shake is a frappe there. I have heard them referred to as a skid, a slip, a flat and as a bolster in addition to pallet.
Dunnage?
