Skids: Uses & Benefits

Wooden skids have multiple useful applications. Skids are often used as the base in custom crates for heavy machinery, automotive parts, and robotics.

Wooden Skid FAQs

What is a skid?

A wooden skid is a platform used for storing and transporting goods. Unlike pallets, which have both a top and bottom deck, skids typically have only a top deck. This design makes skids lighter and easier to drag or slide.

Standard Skid Size?

Wooden skids do not have a universal standard size like pallets. Skids are deeply customizable platforms and can be manufactured to suit your specific product. 

What is the difference between a skid and a pallet

Wood Pallets are deeply customizable shipping and storage platforms that have both top and bottom deck boards, whereas wooden skids only have top deck boards and rest directly on their stringer boards. Pallets are best used with forklifts, whereas skids can be more easily slid. Both can be easily recycled.
