ABSTRACT:
A lightweight, high strength disposable or recyclable corrugated pallet. The corrugated pallet is formed from one or more sheets of flat corrugated material, at least one of which is scored and cut to form a plurality of spaced apart opposing panels. The panels are hingedly connected to the primary sheet and folded downwardly normal to the bottom surface of the sheet(s) defining a pair of opposing panel support legs. A generally square aperture is formed in the surface of the sheet upon folding of the panels. A support member complementary sized and shaped according to the aperture formed in the sheet and the length of the opposing panel support legs is inserted through the aperture and secured between the pair of opposing panel support legs, preferably with an adhesive. The support member is formed from one or more layers of a narrow strip of corrugated material having a plurality of scores cut therein along the surface of one side for bending said strip into a generally square configuration. The flutes of the corrugated material comprising the support member and opposing panel support legs are oriented in the vertical plane to maximize the strength to weight ratio.
A corrugated leg wrap support member utilizing a sheet of corrugated material having a plurality of score lines is folded inwardly forming a generally rectangular conduit support member for use in combination with the corrugated pallet.
