ABSTRACT:
A pallet assembly which is reusable and which is readily assembled and disassembled without the use of wedges, nails, rivets or other commonly used fasteners. The pallet is easily assembled into a hauling configuration for load transportation. The pallet may then be placed into a shipping configuration by disassembling the components and reassembling them into a more compressed configuration. As the shipping configuration has a height and volume which is substantially less than that of a typical pallet, a larger number of pallets may be stored in any given area. Shipment costs are thereby significantly reduced, making reuse of the pallet practical and economical.
A method for inventory and shipping control is also described. This method for inventory and shipping control allows for the tracking and control of reusable items having data storage devices by the storage and retrieval of data onto the data storage device of the reusable item. This method for inventory and shipping control is described as it relates to the tracking of pallets.
