QUESTION:I know what a "pallet load" is but what is a "skid" (in the context of
shipping materials/objects around)
ANSWER:
From my experience, a "skid" is the pallet, but more generally includes
anything on it as well.
In my business we also call modular packaged equipment that
can be moved easily..say a modular pumping unit etc..we call
that a 'skid package'... liftable with a forklift though the
steel I beam frame rails.
