A metal pallet having a top deck of generally rectangular form, a plurality of runners, a plurality of legs and a bottom deck, said top deck consisting of a top skin of sheet metal having therein a plurality of elongate embossments, elongate reinforcing means cooperating with said embossments and rigidly attached to said top skin and a rim extending around the entire periphery of said top skin and rigidly attached to said top skin and to said reinforcing means, said runners being arranged in spa...

A pallet to be used with a hand truck is provided. The pallet is fabricated from a lightweight and durable material. The pallet comprises a base, a first supporting leg, a second supporting leg, and a cross member. The first and second supporting legs are attached to the bottom surface of the base. The cross member joins the two legs. The top surface of the base is fabricated to have a high coefficient of friction to prevent cargo items located on the pallet from slipping or slipping. The bottom...

The pallet comprises cross beams and end members supported by a plurality of individual legs upon inner and outer pads so that a fork lift truck or the like can engage under the pallet from any one of the four sides with the fork members engaging under the cross beams and/or end members. The legs are formed in a particular truss configuration giving high strength for low weight.

A supporting structure for articles for storage for transport wherein provision is made for the same to be elevated by the fork lift of lift trucks on any of the all four sides of the pallet.

In order to overcome the disadvantage of insufficient ductility in glass filled nylon as a material for gear wheels, the teeth of a gear wheel are recessed below the dedendum circle so that each tooth is in effect supported on a long beam so that the additional resilience thereby obtained provides sufficient ductility to resist breakage of the teeth under high torque loads, the gear preferably being formed as two mouldings which are secured together, and the mouldings incorporating abutments to ...

An improved pallet is provided that has a support surface sloped from the outside edges or perimeter to the center of the pallet so that boxes stacked on the pallet will tend to lean toward the center of the pallet. The pallet also is provided with ventilation holes arranged in the surface of the pallet to be aligned with ventilation holes in fruit and vegetable boxes stacked thereon so that cooling air may be circulated through the bottom of the pallet and up through the boxes. Racking members ...

A pallet for material handling comprises a deck board and a pluralities of legs which are fixed to the under surface of the deck board with specified spacings. The deck board is constituted of laminated corrugated fibreboard, and each of the legs is formed by a square-tubular frame, which is made of a corrugated fibreboard, and in which a pad or pads made of plastic resin is inserted. The deck board of a durable light weight structure, has a roughened top surface to prevent slips of a cargo. The...

A pallet consisting essentially of a lattice and longitudinal and cross ribs edgewise to the load-carrying surfaces. The ribs extend the full depth of the pallet at nine regions spaced from each other and arranged in sets of three, aligned lengthwise, crosswise and diagonally of the pallet. The spaces between the sets provide fork lift openings on both the sides and ends of the pallet. The lower ends of the full depth ribs are tied together by integral lattice elements extending crosswise of the...

A pallet including an annular leg concentrically formed in the pallet and a coiled edge extending around the entire periphery thereof. The pallet is formed out of sheet metal by repeated draw operations whereby the central portion of the pallet is first formed and then the central configuration is held by tightly gripping dies while the outer portions of the pallet are formed progressively. The outer edge portion of the pallet is coiled around the complete periphery thereof by a die arrangement ...

A concrete pig pallet for a farrowing pen comprising a floor portion which is supported above the farrowing building floor by a pair of spaced apart support legs integrally formed therewith. The floor portion comprises a peaked center portion having a pair of end portions positioned outwardly therefrom. One of the end portions has a plurality of equally spaced apart slots formed therein. The other end portion has equally spaced larger slots formed in the center portion thereof with equally space...
