Skids and pallets play a crucial role in the handling and transportation of scrap metal. They provide a stable base for stacking and securing metal items, preventing direct contact with the ground and reducing the risk of damage or corrosion. Skids and pallets also facilitate the efficient movement of metal using forklifts or other equipment, ensuring safer and more organized loading and unloading processes. By utilizing skids and pallets, scrap metal can be easily grouped, stored, and transported, optimizing logistics and minimizing potential hazards associated with direct contact or improper handling.
