Unit Loads Pallets It is simpler to move one 1,000-kilogram load than it is to move a thousand 1- kilogram loads. Loads are most commonly unitized on pallets, a platform that can be picked up by the tines of a forklift truck. Another technique uses slip sheets, tough fiberboard or plastic sheets on which the load is stacked. The truck used with slip sheets has a clamp mechanism that grasps a protruding edge of the sheet and pulls the sheet and load onto a platform attached to the truck. A third method of handling a large group of assembled objects is with a clamp truck, a mechanism that picks up loads by exerting pressure from both sides of the load.Unit Loads Pallets It is simpler to move one 1,000-kilogram load than it is to move a thousand 1- kilogram loads.
