A pallet base structure including a center deck defining a support surface extending between opposed sides and having at least two lugs extending from each of the opposed sides. A pair of base side members are positioned along respective sides of the center deck. Each base side member has first and second spaced apart base legs and a support member extending between the base legs with at least two corresponding lug receiving slots defined in the support member. The respective lugs are received in the respective lug receiving slots such that the center deck support surface is aligned with an upper surface of each support member to define a planar pallet surface. A packaging system incorporating the pallet base structure is also described.

A multi-use pallet comprising a main body member, a male wing member, a female wing member, and a pair of risers, wherein the components can be re-arranged and interconnected with one another into a variety of other configurations and uses such as elevated flooring, roadways, temporary pathways, and walls. The interconnectivity of the multi-use pallet components provide an array of versatile uses to the user, and the arrangement of parts provides greater structural support and higher load-bearing potential.

A modular pallet comprising at least two spaced apart beams, and at least two pallet segments, wherein the beams are located through each of the pallet segments. A method of manufacturing a pallet, the method including the steps of locating two or more pallet segments over one or more beams wherein the beams are located through each of the pallet segments.
