This disclosure relates to a combination of a pallet truck (100) and a sled (200) for delivering goods from a truck into a building, a method for making an in-building delivery of palletized loads from a truck, and a dual-use, half-sized pallet (300) that can be carried by either the pallet truck (100) or the sled (200). The pallet truck (100) is shaped and sized to nest with the sled (200) by comprising an alignment feature (120, 122, 150, 170) configured to mate the sled (200) with the pallet truck (100). The pallet truck (100) is shaped, sized, and constructed to lift the sled (200) along with at least two palletized loads of goods. The pallet truck (100) is also shaped and sized to fit within a bed (600) of a truck. The sled (200) comprises an alignment feature (260, 270, 500, 540) compatible with the alignment feature (120, 122, 150, 170) of the pallet truck (100), and a lifting mechanism shaped, sized, and constructed to lift at least one of the palletized loads of goods.
