ABSTRACT:
A highly effective, easily installed, stringer end capping/protecting system is achieved wherein each terminating end of each stringer is quickly and easily protected from breakage, destruction, or damage by affixing a damage controlling reinforcing plate to the terminating ends of each stringer. Preferably, the damage controlling reinforcing plate is securely affixed to the terminating ends of the stringer by a generally bracket member which peripherally surrounds the reinforcing plate and extends therefrom for affixation to the sides of the stringer. In this way, the bracket member envelopes the terminating ends of each stringer and securely affixes the reinforcing plate thereto by sandwiched interengagement of the reinforcing plate between the end of the stringer and an intermediate portion of the bracket. By securely mounting a reinforcing plate member to each terminating end of each stringer, the stringer is protected from damage due to contact by the tines of a forklift truck. As a result, damage is virtually eliminated and a substantially trouble-free, pallet construction is achieved.
