A pallet lift includes a pair of outer tines movable between an expanded position spaced outward away from inner tines and a retracted position adjacent the inner tines. The inner and outer tines are supported by wheels at locations spaced away from the lift mechanism. A pallet includes a plurality of nestable feet that open outwardly of the pallet to reduce the footprint. A second pallet includes a side wall extending downward from side edges of the pallet to define an opening adjacent outer feet.

The present invention discloses a composite ribbed expanded polystyrene pallet and a manufacturing method thereof, comprising a body and a base support, said base support clads the sides and bottom of the body, said body is made of expanded polystyrene, said comprises a pallet platform and plural supporting feet. Through the above mentioned way, the present invention utilizes light-weight polystyrene to make the body, the surface is covered with a base support of high-strength engineering plastic film, and reinforcing ribs are additionally arranged inside the body through special process. The pallet of the present invention has good load bearing performance, economy and practicability. The logistics cost also can be reduced greatly. Therefore, the composite ribbed expanded polystyrene pallet and the manufacturing method thereof have broad market prospects in popularization.

A pallet having a top deck supported by four corner posts that extend to a bottom deck. The top deck has four side beams and four intermediate beams, with the beams each being provided with tubular reinforcements with the tubular reinforcements providing longitudinally extending passages that can receive reinforcing rods.

A reinforced plastic pallet includes an integrally formed deck having a top deck surface, a bottom deck surface, and a plurality of spaced apart supports extending between the top deck surface and the bottom deck surface. The top deck surface has a plurality of outwardly extending top ribs extending from the top deck surface and the bottom deck surface has a plurality of outwardly extending bottom ribs extending from the bottom deck surface. A top sheet is coupled to the top deck surface to fully enclose the top ribs between the top sheet and the top deck surface. A bottom sheet is coupled to the bottom deck surface and encloses the bottom ribs between the bottom sheet and the bottom deck surface. The pallet may include optional reinforcement rods fully contained within channels formed in the ribs.

A pallet has a rectangular pallet deck with a generally planar upper surface, and a plurality of pallet feet connected by shear members at the four corners. The pallet has an open bottom with a clear span between the pallet feet to allow multiple pallets to be nested together. The pallet feet each have an L-shaped cross section. Holes are formed in the pallet deck to accommodate pallet feet of other pallets when the pallets are nested together. In one embodiment, pallets are nested together by offsetting the pallets in a longitudinal direction. In another embodiment, pallets are nested together by rotating the pallets a quarter turn relative to each other. A metal reinforcement frame is provided inside a plastic exterior to provide increased strength and reduced deflection.

The present invention provides a movable load bearing structure with a surface that includes antimicrobial agents capable of eliminating, preventing, retarding or minimizing the growth of microbes and also minimizing cross-contamination when the load bearing structure is being reused for cargoes that differ from a previously transported cargo, for example, different food types, such as poultry, fresh vegetables, and fresh fruit. The load bearing structure may be a dunnage platform or a container for storing and/or shipping cargo.
