pallets

Forklift cargo bases

Pallets are portable wooden platforms used to stack goods for storage and shipping.

Forklifts slide underneath to move heavy loads.

The word also names a makeshift bed—a thin mattress or pile of blankets on the floor: She made up a pallet for the overnight guest.

In art, a pallet (usually spelled palette) holds paint for mixing.
