LA PALETTISATION :
• La charge est stable et solidaire de son support pour prévenir les glissements (par exemple des coups de butoir SNCF).
• Le plan est rationnel et permet un contrôle rapide :
- Pas de débordement de la charge du support,
- Respect du plan de palettisation de la fiche produit.
• Les couches doivent être croisées en cas de palette homogène

buffer shocks
It refers to the jolt - normally 'shock' in railway parlance - that occurs when the buffers of two freight wagons make contact (or if a wagon hits the fixed buffers at the end of the line...).

Since the ST refers to the SNCF, I've assumed you want UK English terminology. If not, the jmleger's answer might come in handy.

: It may be that "shock" is standard railway terminology, but to me a shock has a slightly different meaning (as in shock testing). My personal prference(s) would be "jolt" or "impact"

Hmmm.... given that you've agreed I guess I oughtn't complain. But... What do buffers have inside? - 'jolt absorbers'? No, 'shock absorbers'.

shunting impact
Linguee:
When shunting, a gravity hump yard is used; when a wagon rolls down this gravity yard via the set of points and then couples with the new train there is a significant shunting impact, in which delicate goods may be damaged.
uirr.com
[...] passe à la butte de triage et lors de la descente sous l'effet de la gravité, il entre en contact avec une nouvelle section de trains, ce qui s'accompagne d'un choc de manoeuvre assez violent qui peut endommager les marchandises sensibles.

: 'coups de butoir' are not limited to shunting operations - they occur any time the train is moving, depending on speed or gradient changes, and any other event causing a change in momentum of the wagons.
