A pallet having the plurality of depending legs and which may be vertically stacked with like pallets in either of two nested positions having differing stacking heights depending upon the relative angular orientation about a vertical axis of vertically adjacent like pallets in the stack.

A four-way pallet formed in one piece from structural foam plastic material and having features which accommodate rapid molding of the pallet. The pallet is formed in an injection molding process wherein the stringers separating upper and lower decks of the pallet are formed with openings therein which reduce the effective cross-sectional area of the stringers and thus speed up the curing and cooling of the pallet within a mold.

A lightweight, inexpensive pallet for supporting a palletized load and which may be readily assembled and disassembled to reduce storage space. The pallet comprises a deck including three interconnected panel members, and a plurality of legs to support the deck above ground level. The lower two panel members include a number of aligned cut-outs for releasably receiving and mounting the legs such that the pallet may be "knocked-down" and the legs stored or shipped separately.

An improved conveyor assembly for conveying pallets along an irregular path. The pallets are of a two-piece design and a resilient covering material provides a protective load supporting surface for the pallets and hingedly connects the pallet sections together. The pallet sections are formed of such a configuration that they may be formed from a single, rectangular sheet of material.

A pallet constructed from formed sheet material, such as a plastic sheet, having a generally planar load-supporting member from which downwardly depend hollow leg members and hollow stiffening members, the leg and stiffening members being of such configuration and dimensions and so disposed that sufficient rigidity is imparted to said load-supporting member that the latter is relatively undeformable under normal loads thereon.

A pallet for use in a flow rack loading system, wherein the pallet is mounted on guide tracks, said pallet having a platform comprising a crenelated reinforcing deck and a pair of supporting pads, integrally attached to the deck and positioned beneath the platform, offset from the corresponding platform edges, the pads having a sloping wall for contact with the guide track, and a plate positioned on the lower surfaces of the platform in each of the area between the bases and the corresponding pl...

A lift truck pallet is provided with rotatable load supporting means for transferring a load from the pallet in a direction lateral to the direction of insertion of forks therein. The preferred rotatable load supporting means is in the form of rotatable rollers having axes substantially parallel to the direction in which the forks are received in the pallet, and drive means may be provided to rotate the rollers to transfer the load from the pallet to a space located laterally of and adjacent to ...

Pallet includes upper load bearing platform with plurality of composite support members secured thereto for spacing platform predetermined distance away from surface upon which pallet is resting. Each support member comprises upper and lower molded sheets of uniform thickness throughout. Each sheet has alternately arranged hollow pocket and post formations. Lower sheet is inverted relative to upper sheet with pocket formations of upper sheet nested inside hollow post formations of inverted lower...

A pallet adapted to be handled by a fork lift truck has an upper and a lower deck connected by side walls each having a pair of spaced openings for fork tines with the openings in opposite side walls being in alignment and each quarter of the pallet having a pair of said openings. Using imaginary planes perpendicular to the decks and bisecting the sides to divide the pallet into quarters, each quarter of the pallet has four hollow generally L-shaped columns disposed generally at the four corners...

A pallet used for the storage and transporting of load bearing structures. The pallet is formed by securing two mating unitary plastic members by means of bolts or other fasteners. The two plastic members are formed in a rotational molding operation and each includes a pair of spaced outer skins which are internally connected by a plurality of properly spaced webs for internal strength. The skins also have a plurality of strategically located apertures which extend through each of the skins.
