Wooden Skids

Wooden Skids: Durable Base Support for Machinery, Staging, and One-Way Shipping

Wooden Skids provide a robust, low-profile base structure engineered to support heavy equipment, stage materials, and handle non-standard loads. Unlike traditional pallets, wood skids typically feature only top deck boards and runners (stringers), offering a durable, non-reversible design that is highly cost-effective for one-way transport.

Why Skids are the Ideal Choice for Specialized Support

Wood skids excel in applications where concentrated weight, stability on uneven floors, or specific machinery mounting is required:

• Heavy-Duty Foundation: Wooden skids are frequently used as permanent or semi-permanent bases for manufacturing equipment, industrial generators, or customized shipping containers, as their structure prevents unwanted movement.
• Cost-Efficient One-Way Shipping: By using less material than a full pallet, wood skids are often the most economical solution for single-trip or one-way domestic freight.
• Low Profile: Their simpler design often results in a lower overall height, which can be advantageous for maximizing vertical space inside shipping containers.

Technical Specifications & Customization

We specialize in designing and manufacturing wooden skids to your exact dimensional needs:

• Custom Sizing: Easily specify unique Length, Width, and Height to support oversized machinery or components that do not fit standard pallet dimensions.
• Reinforcement: Wood skids can be built with Double Stringer Runners for maximum static load capacity and durability under extreme weight.
• Material Integrity: All skids are built with quality lumber and secure hardware, whether new or used, to ensure the runners and deck remain intact during transport.
