Elevating or lift truck skids, pallets or platforms, are low, portable platforms having flat top areas, either round, hexagonal, rectangular or square in actual dimensions, of solid, slatted, intersticed, ribbed or open framework construction providing flat load-bearing top surfaces, supported by legs (blocks) or runners, with or without bodies, enclosures, standards or stacking posts, without wheels or casters. Construction may be of wood, metal, plastic, fibreboard or any combination thereof.
    Wooden elevating or lift truck skids, pallets or platforms may be single-faced or double-faced, either of wing or flush box style and of either 2-way or 4-way entry design. Runners (stringers) and deck boards must be of sound lumber securely fastened. Deck boards must be of a sufficient number, dimension and spacing to support a double-tiered load of equal weight and distribution, and to prevent underside damage to article(s) caused by forklift handling equipment. Knots shall not exceed 1/3 the width of any piece of lumber.
