What is a Skid?

A skid is simply a pallet that is built to specifically suit the consignment that is sitting on it.  For example, if you wanted to send a small quantity of tiles or pavers somewhere and it is too heavy to carry, you could easily build a skid using cheap softwood timber.

The benefit include the
  • Skid is of very little value so you do not have to concern yourself with having it returned.
  • They are simple to make using second hand or new timber. 
  • They are a much simpler option to a Chep or Loscam pallet. 
  • You are not paying for a full pallet space on a trailer.
Speak to your carrier to determine what they prefer for transport.
