A pallet is a transport element that is used to support goods and materials as they are being stored and moved. While most pallets are made of timber, they can also be manufactured from plastic, metal, paper and other recycled materials.

Building materials such as bricks, blocks, and roofing tiles are often placed on a pallet and secured with strapping, shrink wrap, and so on. After being transported to a site they are moved around using a forklift, pallet jack, or crane.

Timber pallets typically comprise three or four stringers supporting several deckboards. When measuring pallets, the stringer length is the first number, and the deckboard length is the second number. By being shaped as a square, or nearly square, the pallet helps to resist tipping.

There are no universally accepted standards for pallet dimensions, and hundreds of different pallet sizes are used around the world.
