Common term for lengths of wood or whatever else is nearby to put on the ground when you want to lay something down but not directly on the ground. Or for when picking something up with forks without a pallet/without scraping or gouging the ground.

I worked as a labourer for a couple years using the word daily, now drive a van and use it often when loading/unloading. It's a common industry term, not some obscure dialectical thing (edit... Maybe it is a dialectal thing, I'm Lancashire based), which is why I'm so mad I can't recall it.
