ABSTRACT:
This invention pertains to a one-piece molded pallet-container made of a foamed plastic. In a preferred embodiment the pallet provides a stacking capability with a series of like pallet-containers. The container may have its base formed with entrances on all four sides for the placing and positioning of the forks of a fork lift truck. The base or bottom of this molded pallet-container has reinforcing ribs extending downwardly particularly at and forming the support portion for the forks of the lift truck. The exterior of the walls of this pallet-container are formed with ribs providing side wall strength to the container for a full load of fluid or similar material exerting a side thrust on the walls. In a like manner, the ribs on the bottom also provide strength and rigidity to the bottom member. The bottom support surface and the outwardly extending portion of the bottom are adapted for placing on and transport by a roller conveyor. In a variation of the contemplated four-way pallet-container, a two-way entry for a fork lift truck is provided.
