Here I am again with a word question. In Home Depot this morning, I heard a man telling a worker to PALLETIZE
some products that needed to be moved. First time I have heard that word. It is in the dictionary. I checked. Have you ever heard that word? I would likely have said, “Put these things on a pallet move them over there.”

Yes, it is standard in retail and shipping industries that use pallets. It is simply verb created from the noun pallet. It is simple to say, and gets the point across.

I have heard this a few times, and have seen it in office memos much more often. You are right in thinking that it is much more clumsy in speech than just saying to “put the items on a pallet”.

This sounds like a typical Americanism, misusing the English language. A pity really since English is a mos colourful and interesting language. It seems a shame to spoil it in this way. The way you would have said it is correct.
