The pallet-pulling device is used to pull a cargo pallet from a location inside of a semi-trailer or other elevated shipping container to a location near the door of the container so that a forklift can access the pallet. The pallet-pulling device comprises a skid puller, a bridle chain, and a clevis hook. The skid puller comprises a plurality of vertical ribs coupled to a backing plate and a pull plate. The skid puller is placed in a pallet where a leading edge of the pull plate hooks onto a plank of the pallet. The skid puller rests on the backing plate, against the floor of the shipping container. The bridle chain couples the skid puller to a clevis hook. A chain coupled to a forklift is coupled to the clevis hook to allow the forklift to pull the pallet out of the container.
