ABSTRACT:
An industrial pallet is constructed and arranged to support a vertical stack of scaffold end frames on the pallet's rectangular, horizontal support platform. Upwardly extending channel-iron members are rigidly secured adjacent the back edge and the two side edges of the platform. These channel-iron members define an open-front cavity for receiving the end frames as they are manually inserted onto the platform from the front edge thereof. Horizontal hand-rail/brace members extend between the side disposed channel-iron members, to form both hand rails and a platform for supporting tube-shaped scaffold cross members that are used with the scaffold end frames when constructing a scaffold. Two vertically extending, removable, locking rods fit into sockets carried by the platform. When these locking rods are manually inserted into the platform sockets, the rods penetrate interior spaces of the stacked scaffold end frames. The upper ends of the locking rods are disposed to cooperate with locking links that are pivotally attached to the rear disposed channel-iron members. The locking links can be padlocked in place on the upper ends of the locking rods, to prevent unauthorized removal of the scaffold end frames. The bottom of the platform includes pallet support feet constructed and arranged to cooperate with the lifting members of a fork lift truck.
