ABSTRACT:
An improved metal pallet is shown having elongate deck members defining a load bearing surface and transverse stringer members to support the deck members. The stringer members are generally U-shaped having generally upright laterally resilient sides defining longitudinally spaced-apart, transverse openings located adjacent to the upper marginal edges of the sides. The ends of the deck members pass through the stringer member openings. The deck members have longitudinal downwardly and outwardly disposed laterally resilient sides defining opposed pairs of parallel slot openings. The longitudinal spacing between these slot openings is different than the normal transverse spacing between the stringer sides, so that upon assembly of the pallet the stringer and deck member sides are laterally deflected; the peripheral edges of the stringer openings are located in the slot openings, and the deck members and stringer member are biased into mutual engagement by the lateral deflections of the respective sides.
