ABSTRACT:
A wood pallet includes a top deck, a bottom deck and spacer members. The top deck includes a pair of end members, a pair of side members, and a plurality of intermediate load supporting members. The side members include means forming inwardly facing recesses for receiving the end members, the recesses including end facing abutments to engage the inside edge of the end members so that inwardly directed forces are transmitted into and partially absorbed by the side members. The end members include beveled ends which are received against complementary beveled surfaces within the recesses to assist in securing the end members to the pallet. The bottom deck is provided with a relatively large surface area, but with openings to accommodate the wheels of a hand transport. The top and bottom decks are separated by means of spacer members including longitudinally extending stringers on which are mounted blocks of plywood. Nine plywood blocks are installed at the corners of the pallet and intermediately of the end and side members to provide an eight-way access to the pallet by the tongs of a fork lift. Corrugated fasteners are used to assemble both the top and bottom decks, the corrugated fasteners being installed on the interior surfaces of both decks.
