pallet

GBK English to German Bus/Financial Transport / Transportation / Shipping

A flat tray, generally made of wood but occasionally of steel, on which goods particularly those in boxes, cartons or bags, can be stacked. Its purpose is to facilitate the movement of such goods, mainly by the use of forklift trucks.

Wooden pallets can contain invasive species of insects and plant diseases and have to be treated in order to be shipped internationally (pallets.com)
We can satisfy all your pallet transport requirements through our comprehensive nationwide pallet distribution system. (Online Pallet)
A pallet is the foundation of a unit load design, which can be as simple as placing the goods on a pallet, and securing them with straps or stretch-wrapped plastic film, or as exotic as a ULD minicontainer. (Wikipedia)

Palette

Definition from Wikipedia:
Transportpaletten, auch einfach Paletten genannt, sind flache Konstruktionen, die für den Transport bestimmter stapelbarer Waren verwendet werden. Die beladene Palette kann dann zum Beispiel mit einem Hubwagen verladen werden.
Example sentences:
Europalette: Die meistbenutzte Palette in Europa. Die Norm "Europalette" stammt ursprünglich von der Bahn. Es ist eine stabile Holz-Mehrwegpalette mit 120 cm Länge, 80 cm Breite und 14,4 cm Höhe. Ein großer Vorteil der Norm Europalette ist die Tauschfähigkeit und der Einheitspreis. Dieser wird allerdings nicht mehr in allen Staaten und von allen Speditionen anerkannt - zu unterschiedlich ist die Qualität der gebrauchten Paletten. Eine Europalette kostet derzeit knapp 10 Euro. Je nach Qualität können Europaletten mit bis zu zwei Tonnen Gewicht beladen werden. (Transportbranche)
