ABSTRACT:
A pallet constructed of a base sheet of material formed to provide elongate, laterally spaced, channel-shaped support members and projecting outer edge margin portions. Elongate reinforcing beams of folded sheet material and upright cylindrical tubular members are placed in the support members to reinforce the base portion. A platform sheet overlies the base sheet and reinforcing members, with end margin portions of the platform sheet extending outwardly beyond opposite ends of the base sheet. The outer edge margin portions of the base are folded downwardly onto the top of the platform sheet and adhered thereto for transverse reinforcing. The end margin portions of the platform sheet may be folded upwardly at a substantial angle relative to remainder portions of the platform sheet to provide reinforcing between the spaced support members. Openings are produced in the undersides of the channel members and reinforcing members to permit the forks of a forklift truck or other lifting structure to be inserted transversely of the pallet. A method for producing such a pallet also is disclosed.
