Forklifts matter because logistics systems use pallets

Forklifts deliver their greatest value inside a palletised cargo system; without that surrounding standardisation, forces fall back on slower handling methods.

Notes

Forklifts matter most within palletised infrastructure. Standard loads let them move stores rapidly between vehicles, depots, and ships. Without compatible pallets and handling spaces, a force must rely on less efficient movement methods. The machine gains much of its value from the cargo system built around it.
