Explanation:
I'm convinced this has cropped up before, maybe in FR > EN? If you try a term search, you ought to be able to find back the previous entry, which will confirm (or not!) my suggestion.

Reference: skid vs pallet

Reference information:
Information on the difference between a skid and a pallet; I think you could use "palette" as a translation - but I have seen "skid" used in French article. ("Livraison sur skid")
