ABSTRACT:
A pallet includes a platform, having a substantially rectangular shape and is generally flat, an upper side face and an opposing underside face, and a plurality of supports that depend from said underside face. The supports are arranged in rows that extend both transversely and longitudinally across the surface of the underside face. The supports and the underside face are preferably covered by a generally rectangular shaped bottom sheet made, for example, of high impact polystyrene (HIPS) or high-density polyethylene (HDPE). A top sheet covers at least some of the upper side face. The supports are interconnected by a plurality of bridges that are spaced from the underside of the platform and which are adapted to provide support for the pallet when at least some of said bridges rest upon frame members of a rack.
