ABSTRACT:
A collapsible pallet 10 includes a pallet base 12 and a plurality of elongated collapsible or foldable support members 30 connected to the pallet base 12. Each of the collapsible support members 30 are foldably connected to the lower surface 16 of the pallet base 12. The collapsible pallet 10 also includes support means for maintaining the collapsible support members 30 in upright position by holding the walls of the support member 30 separate. The collapsible pallet 10 may be stored and/or transported in its collapsed configuration, and then rapidly converted to its upright position by deploying the support means. The support means may take the form of foldable support flaps 42 which fold into the support members 30, or support blocks 52 which may be inserted within the support members 30.
