ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a pallet which generally comprises a bottom deckboard, a stringer layer, a covering board, and a top deckboard. The bottom deckboard is provided with a folding flap at each side which is provided with several stringer openings that are spaced from each other. The top surface of the bottom deckboard is disposed with a planar reinforced board. The stringer layer can be attached to the top surface of the planar reinforced board by means of starch glue that is harmless to the environment. The stringer layer is configured by several individual stringer units that are disposed in parallel and spaced from the other. Each of the stringer units is spaced with a space that equals and aligns to the opening of the folding flap of the bottom deckboard. Each of the stringer units is provided with a cutout at the side that serves as an introducing hole for supporting paperboard. At least a covering board 3 is attached to the top surface of the stringer unit 21 with its bottom surface. The covering board includes a covering sheet and a reinforced board. The covering sheet can be made from erected corrugated paperboard. The top surface of the covering board is attached to the bottom surface of the top deckboard. The top deckboard includes a folding flap at both sides. Each of the folding flaps is provided with several openings that are aligned to the cutouts of the stringer unit. The loading capability of the pallet made thereof is excellent and is harmless to the environment as it is recyclable. The overall economic profit may thus be increased.
