ABSTRACT:
A duplex pallet for the transport or storage of articles of the present invention has a deck surface easily switchable between a configuration matching with, e.g., the ISO (International Standards Organization) standards and a configuration matching with, e.g., JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards). While the deck surface is held in the configuration matching with the ISO standards, a hook and a contact guide are respectively released from a clamp post and a pallet body so as to release one longer edge of a movable deck from one shorter edge of the pallet body. Subsequently, the movable deck is rotated away from the pallet body by 90 degrees, then shifted inward, and then further rotated in the same direction by 180 degrees until the hook mates with another clamp post. At the same time, another contact guide is inserted into a space between an upper deck and a lower deck. In this condition, one longer edge of the pallet body and the other longer edge of the movable deck contact each other, implementing the configuration matching with JIS.
