A shock pallet assembly allows transport or movement of tall rack-mounted information handling systems (IHSes) without tipping. The shock pallet assembly can resiliently, manually or automatically retract for placement near a wall of a transport conveyance to achieve a greater shipping density of IHSes. The shock pallet assembly can include a bottom structure having a pair of parallel apertures to receive tines of a forklift. Resilient padding is positioned on a top surface of the bottom structure to provide shock dampening. A top deck is attached on top of the resilient padding and bottom structure to form a shock pallet that receives a racked-mounted IHS for transport and movement. An anti-tip mechanism is attached to a lateral side of the shock pallet to prevent tipping of the rack-mounted IHS.
