The Skid Board is a durable, plywood-based platform designed to facilitate the secure transport and aerial delivery of military cargo. Engineered to withstand repeated handling and impact during parachute airdrops, the skid board provides a stable support surface for cargo loads, improving handling efficiency and protecting payloads from shock and abrasion.

Manufactured to PS-1, Grade A-C and MIL-C-7554 standards, the skid board is compatible with standard aerial delivery platforms and palletised cargo systems. Its robust plywood construction ensures consistent performance across diverse operational environments while remaining lightweight for rapid field deployment.
