ABSTRACT:
A pallet constructed from paperboard has longitudinally extending runners formed by three spaced apart runner sections, each section being formed from paperboard cylindrical cores, the sections of each runner being connected together by a connecting member positioned on the upper surface of the runner sections and formed from elongated arcuate segments of a hollow cylindrical paperboard core. Deck members also formed from elongated arcuate segments of a hollow cylindrical paperboard core have arcuate slots extending transverse to the direction of elongation and are of a configuration conforming to the contour of the paperboard cores. Each deck member is positioned on the connecting members with the connecting members received within the slots and secured thereto. The spacing between the central member and the other two members permits the tines of a pallet jack to enter the space for lifting the pallet by engagement with the connecting members. The use of the connecting members not only provides a lighter pallet, but also raises the height of the deck so that there is sufficient height for receiving the pallet jack tines.
