"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
I have rubber-topped steel pallets like Mooseman, too. All I do is peel off a sheet large enough to cover the pallet with extra all around. Keep it in a loose fold raised above the pallet, start one end at the front edge only letting an inch or so of the tape touch the pallet, then holding the other end with one hand slowwwwwwwly roll the paper towards the back as I use a nylon sign squeegie to smooth the paper down, pressing hard as I go but keeping the leading edge off the pallet. I never get wrinkles, and for the few bubbles I get, I poke the edge with the tip of an X-acto knife and squeegie the air out towards the hole with the nylon squeegie.

Vinyl being what it is, I'm kind of surprised that could even be used for pallet cover without a risk of stretch, leading to some fashion of bubbling, but I guess it can.
