ABSTRACT:
A pallet is assembled from three basic components that can be combined in various ways to produce different configurations. Several identical slats are connected in alternative positions to latches over the top member of at least two transverse runners, thereby forming a load-bearing support surface. The bottom side of each runner includes uniformly-spaced blocks for elevating the support surface over the ground and providing clearance under the top member for engagement of the pallet by the fork of material handling equipment. Identical slats are also connected to the bottom of these blocks to provide continuous bottom surfaces in the longitudinal direction of the pallet. An additional basic component, a foot-frame member that is adapted to fill the space between pairs of blocks in the underside of the runners, can be added or formed integrally with the runners to provide a continuous bottom surface also in the transverse direction of the pallet.
