A paper pallet made of paper includes two supporting stringers and a plurality of deck rods. The supporting stringers extend horizontally in a first direction, and are spaced apart from each other in a second direction transverse to the first direction. The deck rods extend horizontally in the second direction, are arranged in the first direction, and are disposed on and connected to top surfaces of the supporting stringers. Each deck rod includes an elongated plate portion elongated in the second direction and having two elongated outer edges opposite to each other in the first direction and two elongated tubular portions. The elongated tubular portions of each deck rod are disposed juxtaposed with each other in the first direction. Each elongated tubular portion of each deck rod extends from a respective one of the elongated outer edges and is bent into a rectangular tubular structure.

A pallet includes: a top plate that has a rectangular shape and that is to be loaded with a load object; multiple blocks that are disposed at a multiple locations including four corners of the top plate and that support the top plate from below; and a bottom plate that is disposed such that the multiple blocks are placed on the bottom plate. The top plate has a long side and a short side. Blocks included in the multiple blocks and disposed at the corners of the top plate each has a long side and a short side. The long side of each of the blocks included in the multiple blocks and disposed at the corners of the top plate is disposed along the short side of the top plate.

A sheet metal pallet assembly includes a deck and an undercarriage. The deck is reinforced about its outer edges by perimeter under-girding. The interior of the deck is further reinforced by one or more reinforcement ribs and interior longitudinal girding. The undercarriage is composed of left and right fork tube risers joined together by bridges. The fork tube risers are configured to receive the tines of a forklift truck. Each fork tube riser has inner and outer legs, each splayed at an angle. In some examples, the splay angle of the outer leg is greater than the splay angle of the inner leg, but in other examples the splays are equal. The ends of each fork tube riser may be folded over with a hem to improve strength and present a blunt edge. The undercarriage may be fabricated from a single monolithic piece of sheet metal or multiple pieces.

A pallet includes a top deck and pallet support legs coupled to the top deck. The top deck has a product support surface and an opposing underside, with the underside having snaps openings therein. Each pallet support leg includes a base extending across a width of the top deck, and a pair of outer leg supports extending from ends of the base. Each outer leg support includes at least one outwardly facing snap and at least one inwardly facing snap inserted into respective snap openings in the top deck.

A modular pallet formed from a plurality of frame members and a plurality of deck members. The deck members extend between the frame members to define an upper deck surface and optionally a lower deck surface of the pallet. A plurality of spaced-apart channels are formed in at least an upper surface of the frame members to receive the deck members. In some embodiments the pallet may be configured as a stringer pallet and in other embodiments the pallet may be configured as a block pallet. In some embodiments the frame members are unitary stringers. In other embodiments the frame members are modular structures each comprising a block pallet subassembly and a deck support panel. The number, size, orientation and spacing of the channels formed in the frame members and the corresponding arrangement of the deck members may vary in different embodiments of the pallet. Once assembled, the frame members and deck members may be integrally connected, such as by heat welding. In some embodiments the pallet is formed from readily recyclable plastic.

Disclosed herein is a pallet that includes a top deck and a support section. The top deck includes a first frame portion and an encasement encasing the first frame portion. The support section includes a second frame portion connected to the first frame portion of the top deck.

A pallet substitute has pallet blocks, which may be made of plastic regrind or other material which can be utilized in conjunction with a tray, whether cardboard or otherwise, to provide a pallet. The pallet substitute may have pallet blocks that connect separately and directly to the tray, or pairs (or triples, etc.) of pallet blocks may connect together, possibly with stringers and connect to the tray.

There is disclosed a pallet component comprising a support portion and an attachment portion. The attachment portion extends from the support portion and is defined, at least in part, by a perimeter wall. The perimeter wall surrounds one or more internal chambers. The attachment portion is configured to engage a corresponding attachment portion of another pallet component. The one or more internal chambers comprises at least one device chamber configured to at least partially receive an electronic device therein. One or more walls of the attachment portion comprises one or more cut-outs which define, at least in part, a fluid pathway between the at least one device chamber and atmosphere.

The invention relates to a plastic pallet comprising an upper part, which is provided with outer and central female foot parts, and runners, which are provided with outer and central male foot parts. When plugged together with the female foot parts, the male foot parts form foot elements, and the female foot parts of the upper part and the male foot parts of the runners can be secured by means of a snap-fit connection. The female foot parts have an outer wall which surrounds their respective male foot parts. The outer wall of the outer female foot part extends over the entire height of the outer male foot part such that the outer male foot parts of the runners can be completely slid into the outer female foot parts of the upper part in such a manner that the outer wall of the outer female foot part together with the runner forms a support surface.

The present disclosure is directed to the transport of one or more loads of items including building materials and/or other items to one or more target surfaces including one or more elevated surfaces. The present disclosure is also directed to the holding of one or more loads of items including building materials and/or other items during transport to one or more target surfaces including one or more elevated surfaces. The present disclosure is also directed to the holding of one or more loads of items including building materials and/or other items on one or more target surfaces including one or more elevated surfaces.
