ABSTRACT:
A pallet system formed of a unitary, plastic molded, grid-like base made of intersecting, spaced apart, longitudinal and transverse strips, whose upper edges define a carrying surface. The lower edges of at least some of the longitudinal strips are generally coplanar to form a skid-like base support surface that may be positioned upon a conveyor. The lower edges of the remaining strips are recessed relative to the plane of the support surface. A unitary, plastic molded nest, having integral upper formations shaped to receive corresponding portions of supported articles, is rested upon the base and overlaps some of the openings in the grid-like base. Integral projections on the nest extend into their adjacent overlapped openings and engage the sides of adjacent strips for accurately positioning the nest relative to the base. Mechanical fasteners, having stems extending through some of the openings and connected to the nest, have resilient heads that span the adjacent recessed strip edges for releasably securing the nest to the base, so that the nest may be replaced by a differently shaped nest for supporting a different article.
