What does Pallet mean in logistics?

Short answer

A flat platform on which goods are stacked so they can be handled as one unit by forklift or pallet truck. The two common sizes are 1200 × 1000 mm and 1200 × 800 mm (the Euro pallet).

The 1200 × 1000 mm pallet is widely used in Indian warehousing and manufacturing. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
