A duplex pallet for the transport or storage of articles of the present invention has a deck surface easily switchable between a configuration matching with, e.g., the ISO (International Standards Organization) standards and a configuration matching with, e.g., JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards). While the deck surface is held in the configuration matching with the ISO standards, a hook and a contact guide are respectively released from a clamp post and a pallet body so as to release one longer edge of a movable deck from one shorter edge of the pallet body. Subsequently, the movable deck is rotated away from the pallet body by 90 degrees, then shifted inward, and then further rotated in the same direction by 180 degrees until the hook mates with another clamp post. At the same time, another contact guide is inserted into a space between an upper deck and a lower deck. In this condition, one longer edge of the pallet body and the other longer edge of the movable deck contact each other, implementing the configuration matching with JIS.
A pallet for carrying a boom of a front-end loader is constructed with spaces at one end so for receiving the corresponding end of an identical pallet, whereby the two pallets may be secured together to form a unit. When front loader booms of a type including a pair of transversely spaced arms are mounted in an upright disposition on the unitized pair of pallets, the booms overlap such that one arm of one is located between the spaced arms of the other. The dimensions of the unitized pallet are such that its length approximates the width of a standard sea-going container while its width is approximately a whole number fraction of the standard container length.
An aircraft cargo and seating pallet having one or more internal stringer sections including a top section configured to engage a seat and/or a seat attachment. The top section may be a linear track along which the seat or seat attachment may slide, or it may include fixed attachment points for securing the seat to the pallet. The aircraft cargo and seating pallet may also include one or more hinged flaps that are positionable over flanges extending outwardly from a lower portion of the pallet. As a result, the flanges are not exposed to passengers, and the open space between adjacent pallets is substantially minimized.
A pallet is formed of two or more sections formed of plastic materials. The sections are adjustably fixed together using elongated connectors dimensioned to fit closely in channels with each of the connectors extending between a channel of one section and a channel of an adjoining section. The sections and the connectors are adjustably secured together by mechanical fasteners. Spaced apertures are provided through each of the channels and similarly spaced apertures are provided through each of the connectors whereby the dimensions of the pallet are adjustable. Pallets are provided that can be nested in an inverted orientation without increasing the thickness of the inverted pair greater than the thickness of a single pallet.
