which came first?

There were crude forerunners of modern pallets for quite some time before forklifts came along, and crude ways of moving them about. Once the forklift came to be, pallets and forklists evolved together — the pallet as an ideal platform on which to put products to be moved by forklifts, and the forklift as the ideal means to move around pallets with product on them. I think pallets came about in the late 19th century, and forklifts around 1915 to 1920 or so.
