The pallet: A flat,portable structure usually made out of wood(sometimes plastic and metal) that is used to transport and store goods. This thing allows for my favorite things I order over the mail and buy at stores to be brought to me with better efficiency. But I also hate this piece of s# t because their heavy to carry when I need to stack them at several places I have worked, and it's hard to get a good grip on them due to their shape. Any thoughts on pallets?

If we've learned anything from the WWE, they're indestructible. So there's that.

Useful for storing Hay on.
Pain in the ass to put in the place where hay will be stored upon them.

Pallet jacks and forklifts are your best friends when they're around.

Pain in the ass to put in the place where hay will be stored upon them. they also work well in barns for making makeshift housing for calves. and this i know from personal expierience. (only problem is, the calves keep eating the twine we use to keep the pallets together. i usually go through 5-9 pieces of twine a day as a result.)

Nothing can destroy the mighty pallet. Especially not a person's foot. Seriously, if human civilization collapses worldwide, I'm going to drive to the warehouse I work at and steal as many pallets as possible to build an impregnable fortress.
I don't care what weapons they have. Even fire cannot destroy the pallet.

I don't care what weapons they have. Even fire cannot destroy the pallet. depends on the pallet and who makes them. some are rather flimsy and break easily if you set something heavy on them, like a 100+ lb. feed bag, or two or three or twelve.

I once had a super heavy duty pallet (about the same size as the one pictured, 4 to 5 times the weight) sitting up on its side and another co-worker went to sit it down and it dropped right on my big toe. It took nearly a year for the bruise/scab thingy to grow out from under my toenail because of where it hit.
The moral of the story is: even if the warehouse job that you're doing doesn't REQUIRE steel-toed shoes, get some and wear them anyway.

Theres a place where I grew up that would throw out their scrap wood, pallets included, and we'd go load up before our weekly bonfires.

Triple H's [left?] leg would have loved it at Royal Rumble 2000 if a pallet never existed.
Personally, I think its the best way to store tons of crap and transport from point a to point b without too much safety issues.
The most fun I've had with pallets were using an electronic pallet jack to move it and switching those bad pallets by a machine that tilts it sideways so that the product is still in tact while adding a fresher pallet in place.
Worst thing ever with those pallets are the damned nails that somebody did not hammer in all the way or got damaged eventually to stick out. Screams tetanus in an instant.

That looks like a skid to me.One thing I don't like working in the winter is that once a job is done we have a crap load of them left over to take care of.But they keep the blocks from freezing to the ground so its that or straw,which is currently $4 a bale.

The moral of the story is: even if the warehouse job that you're doing doesn't REQUIRE steel-toed shoes, get some and wear them anyway. Something similar happened to me a few years ago. I dropped one of the really heavy ones on my big toe because I wasn't paying attention, and it was a good long while before my toe went back to normal.

Pallets or skids...same thing really. Anyway if they are unpainted they aren't that heavy at all. If they are painted blue or red however then yeah, they are heavy sumbitches. I'm used to them though, I can toss them around like rag dolls at this point.
The annoying thing about the nails coming isn't really the threat of getting punctured by one. Its the the fact they fall out and then lodge themselves into the wheel of a pallet jack....so effin annoying.
