ABSTRACT:
Pallets for material transport and to be handled with forklift trucks comprising deckboards nailed to vertically disposed stringers and including means for engagement and lifting with the fork of a forklift truck having metal U members positioned at at least the two sides or two ends of the pallet and extending a distance above the deckboards sufficient to position and retain cargo, the ends of the U members disposed substantially completely through the stringer at the stringer ends to provide reinforcement to the stringers. Metal reinforcing pins can be disposed completely within the stringer to provide additional reinforcement of the stringers without weakening of the deckboards or interfering with nailing and repairing operations.
