A pallet system for the stacking and movement of a product, such as ammunition cans, is described. The pallet system includes vertical supports that substantially contribute to the strength and integrity of the pallet system. The pallet system allows for relatively rapid deployment of the pallet system's contents.

A plastic pallet and method of construction that permits plastic pallets of numerous different sizes and options to be easily produced from only a very small inventory of parts and without requiring a user to purchase or construct numerous different shapes and sizes of molds in order to produce a wide variety of pallets of various shapes, sizes and options.

Composite pallets and methods for making and using composite pallets are disclosed. An example composite pallet may include a plurality of base boards. The base boards may include a first resin material and a first fiber material. A plurality of support blocks may be coupled to the base boards. The support blocks may include a second resin material and an impact modifier. A plurality of intermediate boards may be coupled to the support blocks. The intermediate boards may include a third resin material and a second fiber material. One or more top end boards may be coupled to the intermediate boards. The one or more top end boards may include a fourth resin material and a third fiber material. One or more top boards may be disposed adjacent to at least one of the one or more top end boards. The one or more top boards may include a fifth resin material.

Sleeve pallet 10 is constructed from corrugate are disclosed. The sleeve pallet 10 includes a series of stringers 12 secured to an upper deck 14 and/or collar 16. When bonded to an upper deck 14, the upper deck 14 is bonded to and supports a collar 16. The collar 16 defines a peripheral flange 40. The peripheral flange 40 retains a sleeve over the collar 16 and/or upper deck 14 of the sleeve pallet 10. A cap 60 can be provided to cover and retains goods within the cavity 82 defined by the sleeve pallet 10. Before assembly, the flange 40 of the collar 16, the sleeve 18, and, when used, the cap 60 may be secured together by straps in a collapsed configuration.

The present invention is to provide a plastic pallet with reinforcements with a great resistance to bending caused by the placing of mechanisms used for transport and storage thereof, such as those caused by racking load. Likewise, the present invention is to disclose a plastic pallet with reinforcements such as inserts, which support a larger load compared with the conventional pallets without substantially incrementing the total weight.

The present invention provides a block protector assembly including a protector contoured to conform to a block of pallet where the pallet includes a plurality of blocks, and an attachment mechanism coupled to the protector, where the attachment mechanism is configured to secure the protector to the block of the pallet, where the protector includes a rigid material. The present invention also provides a method including determining a contour of a block of a pallet, fabricating a protector to follow the contour of the block, and securing the protector to the block. In addition, the present invention provides a protector configured to prevent damage to a block of a pallet, where the protector includes a first side contoured to a first side of the block, a second side contoured to a second side of the block, and a third side contoured to a third side of the block.

Methods, devices, and systems for assembling a pallet are provided. In particular, a pallet is provided that is made from multiple pieces that are bent from an initial planar shape to a final shape. In some embodiments, a transverse piece locks at least one longitudinal piece in the final shape without the use of fasteners or adhesives. The resulting pallet can be loaded with materials and then maneuvered and transported using a forklift. In addition, the pieces can be made from cardboard which significantly reduces the weight of the pallet.

Composite pallets and methods for making and using composite pallets are disclosed. An example composite pallet may include a base layer. The base layer may include a first base board, a second base board, and a cross-member extending between the first base board and the second base board. The cross-member may include a first end region designed to be detachably coupled to the first base board, a second end region designed to be detachably coupled to the second base board, and at least one curved section positioned between the first end region and the second end region. The cross-member may include a polymer. An intermediate layer may be coupled to the base layer. The intermediate layer may include a plurality of intermediate boards. A top layer may be coupled to the intermediate layer. The top layer may include a plurality of top boards.
