when referring to wooden transport platforms, the pallet has runners, top, and bottom slats. The top slats are the foundation for the object being transported. The runners are 2x4’s or 4x4’s that attach to the underside of the top slats. They are usually supporting slats that are attached to the bottom side of the pallets runners for added strength. Four way pallets can accept a forklift tongue from either of all 4 sides, and the 2 way pallet, two sides. When the pallet lacks the bottom attaching slats and just rest on runners, it’s called a skid. Voila’!
