ABSTRACT:
A low-profile, flat twin sheet thermoformed pallet adapted to carry and store relatively, heavy, bulky manufactured components having a high load profile relative to the low flat pallet profile. The disclosed pallet exemplary embodiment is particularly constructed for shipping and storing automotive vehicle passenger seats. The disclosed embodiment is a vehicle standardized pallet having cooperative seat load nesting compartments and a permanent on-board seat belt latching system capable of removable receiving and securely attaching, with the same extendable belt latch operating procedure, any one of the various different types of vehicle seat constructions, in pallet load groups of one or more, with the seats resting on their feet, and occupying predetermined positions in a given orientation thereon corresponding to their desired vehicle assembly orientation and sequence in use. The pallet thus provides, in a grouping of pallets, a vehicle seat shipping package bar-code identifiable in advance for shipment from the seat manufacturer to the vehicle final assembly plant under just-in-time inventory supply system conditions so as to automatically deliver to the appropriate assembly line station the correct selection of seating components for a given vehicle option in a rapid, reliable, automated and economical manner.
