An improved loading pallet is constructed with a carrier platform of compression moldable or castable material having a plurality of boxlike recesses, the sidewalls of which converge toward the bottom of each recess. The pallets are adapted to be stacked for storage or shipment with the boxlike recesses of each pallet being received within the recesses of the pallet immediately below and receiving the recesses of the pallet immediately above.

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 having a top platform formed by an internal stiffening member covered with a high-density plastic sheet, a base, a plurality of supporting columns holding the platform in a spaced relationship with the base, and means for holding the platform to the base.

A pallet used for the storage and transporting of containers such as beer kegs and the like. The pallet is formed as a unitary plastic member in a rotational molding operation and 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. The pallet has a plurality of downwardly extending shoulders for engagement with c...

A pallet for supporting loads of various sizes. The pallet includes a pallet bottom having load supporting surface having notch means on at least two sides thereof. Each notch means has a plurality of band contact surfaces at varying distances from its respective side of the load supporting surface to permit tight banding of various size loads. A pallet top may be provided for further securing the load and to permit stacking of the pallets.

A pallet which includes a top and a bottom pallet surface of corrugated paperboard or the like which are fastened to a number of blocks of a plastic material such as polystyrene by foldable interlocking elements. These interlocking elements are precut or otherwise formed in the pallet surfaces, and are lockingly affixed to the blocks by extending them into a void in the blocks. Upon being extended into the voids, the interlocking elements lockingly engage with offset shoulder means therein, to a...

In one embodiment, pallet substructure can comprise: a reinforcement structure disposed in a plane, a foot member, and a gusset. The gusset can be disposed in mechanical communication with the reinforcement structure and the foot member, wherein the gusset is configured to restrict movement in vertical directions when the substructure is oriented for use.

A pallet arrangement intended for one-time use only, includes an upper deck plate, bottom runners and spacer elements located between the deck plate and the bottom runners and functioning as pallet feet. The spacer elements include supportive tubular elements which are fixed in position relative to the deck plate against locking flaps that are folded down around circular fold lines punched in the deck plate. In turn, the locking flaps are firmly clamped between the tubular spacer elements and lo...

A corrugated cardboard pallet usable either by itself or as the base member of a palletized container. The pallet includes a tray having side walls and a bottom wall; a plurality of blocks positioned within the tray proximate the side walls at spaced locations about the periphery of the side wall and each having a bottom face position on the bottom wall of the tray and an upper face lying in a common plane with the upper faces of other blocks; and a panel positioned within the side walls on top ...

A pallet having a plurality of parallel base beams, and a deck joined to the plurality of parallel base beams. The deck includes a web or sheet of material, which is folded to form a deck surface with a plurality of parallel panels adjoining each other, and a plurality of parallel projections on an underside thereof. Each base beam extends upward to contact the underside of the parallel panels, and includes at least one through-recess having a shape which corresponds to a cross-section of a corr...
