ABSTRACT:
A unitary load carrying pallet of rigid plastic foam material includes a rectangular base having a top planar loading surface and a lower surface and four side walls meeting in corners to form a rectangular structure. A functional rectangular section is placed in each of the four corners of the pallet, one section along each side wall generally midway between the corners, and at least one section substantially centrally of the pallet. Each section includes an upper surface coplanar with the loading surface and having a plurality of closely spaced recesses extending downwardly from the loading surface and terminating in a bottom spaced above the lower surface of the base. Each section also includes a plurality of hollow tubular legs conforming to and extending below the recesses and aligned so as to permit the legs of one pallet to freely slide into the corresponding recesses of a second pallet to form a nesting pair of pallets with the bottom surface of the upper pallet being supported by the top loading surface of the lower pallet. The nestable arrangement of recesses and legs become nonnestable and stackable upon rotation of alternate pallets 180.degree. about a vertical axis perpendicular to the loading surface.
