A high-strength foam bearing pallet is disclosed. The foam bearing pallet comprises a foam bearing plate and supporting legs configured on the lower end of the foam bearing plate. The foam bearing plate comprises a foam core and a PET reinforcing film covering the outer surface of the foam core to increase its strength. The PET reinforcing film is made of a PET sheet heated and fixed to the outer surface of the foam core through vacuum forming. The PET reinforcing film limits and tightens the foam core to prevent the foam core from deformation or fracture. As the outer surface of the foam core is wholly covered by the reinforcing film, and the reinforcing film limits and tightens the foam core, the foam bearing pallet will have higher strength.

According to the embodiments described herein, a nestable pallet can include an upper deck and a lower deck. The upper deck can forms a product support region. The upper deck can include a plurality of foot members each formed as a cavity within the product support region of the upper deck. Each of the foot members can include a base portion offset downward from the from the product support region of the upper deck. The lower deck can be joined to the upper deck and can be disposed downwards from the upper deck. The lower deck can include a plurality of foot strengthening orifices. Each of the foot strengthening orifices can include a support rim. The foot members of the upper deck can be received by the foot strengthening orifices and constrained by the support rim.

Disclosed is stack support assembly. The stack support assembly includes at least one binding element to press and bind at least one support leg to a material stack; and at least one elongated and partially hollow support leg composed of a shaped polymer. The elongated and partially hollow support leg includes vertically oriented side walls connected to one another with a repeating pattern of interconnect structures, thereby forming hollowed channels extending between a top plane and a bottom plane of the support leg.

A nestable pallet having three rows of feet extending downward from a support surface is provided. In one aspect, the outer rows of feet are attached by runners at a bottom portion of each foot and the middle row of feet does not include runners. The support surface includes openings to accommodate the outer rows of feet with runners, and the middle row of feet of a like pallet. The absence of runners in the middle row and a corresponding larger opening, allows for greater support area in that portion of the pallet. The pallet can also include reinforcements extending perpendicular to the runners.

A pallet may include a base layer, an intermediate layer, two or more support blocks, and a top layer. The support blocks may be removably attached to the base layer and the intermediate layer such that the support blocks are positioned between the base layer and the intermediate layer. The base layer may include two or more base members, the intermediate layer may include two or more intermediate members and the top layer may include two top outside members, which all may be described as structural members. The structural members may include two or more ribs, may include fiber dispersed in a thermoplastic material, and may include a continuous fiber bundle within each rib.

A composite pallet structure includes a unit pallet including: upper and lower basic supporting boards, at least two spaced-apart auxiliary rods attached to each of the corresponding sides of the upper and lower basic supporting boards, a plurality of spacers distributed between the auxiliary rods on the upper basic supporting board and the auxiliary rods on the lower basic supporting board, and a plurality of fixing elements for restricting the spacers within the space between the upper and lower basic supporting boards in order for the unit pallet to have high supporting strength. The composite pallet structure needs no soldering and, therefore, can be easily repaired and recycled.

The invention provides a stabilized load tray for supporting a load stack, the stabilized load tray comprising: a horizontal floor; vertical side walls connected to the floor; a top connected to the side walls; and a deployable lip connected to the top, wherein the deployable lip can be folded from a substantially horizontal position to a substantially vertical position adjacent the load stack.

The invention relates to a method for the production of an assembled plastic pallet, consisting in producing 13 small identical plastic parts and assembling said parts, by means of interlocking, in order to produce the end plastic pallet, in various sizes, said pallet being intended for a wide range of uses associated with the transport and unloading of goods using a forklift truck.

A cargo pallet having parallel, spaced runners with parallel, spaced slats mounted transverse thereto by removable pins. Each of the slats is substantially identical and each has different opposing faces so that when the slats are reversed the different faces provide different cargo-supporting surfaces. There are slat grooves on the runners into which the slats are mounted, along with endwalls, to prevent something from extending between the slats and the runners to separate slats and runners. Blockers extend laterally from one or both sides of the slats to prevent a forklift from contacting the cargo, and when the slats are reversed the blockers interlace.
