Reinforced plastic pallet

A reinforced plastic pallet comprising:

• a bottom portion, and a top portion, joined together having improved resistance to deformation caused by at least one of static, racking, or dynamic load;
• wherein said bottom portion comprises a bottom deck and a bottom deck cover that are welded together;
• wherein said top portion comprises a top deck and a top deck cover that are welded together;
• wherein the top deck comprises a plurality of post portions;
• wherein the top deck and the top deck cover, the bottom deck and the bottom deck cover are plane surfaces arranged in a sandwich structure;
• wherein both plane surfaces are joined together by a rib arrangement;
• wherein the rib arrangement in the top deck of the pallet comprises a plurality of square ribbing portions with each square ribbing portion positioned within the perimeter of each post portion and a plurality of diagonal ribs that are formed between the post portions, wherein the plurality of diagonal ribs cross through the square ribbing portions, wherein the plurality of diagonal ribs comprise a first diagonal rib portion and a second diagonal rib portion, wherein the first diagonal rib portion comprises a plurality of ribs extending parallel to each other between two square ribbing portions and the second diagonal rib portion comprises a plurality of ribs extending parallel to each other between two square ribbing portions;
• wherein the square ribbing portions and the plurality of diagonal ribs are directly connected to the post portions in the top deck providing an improved rigidity to the area between the post portions;
• and
• wherein the sandwich structure, the square ribbing portions, and the plurality of diagonal ribs provide a reinforced plastic pallet with improved rigidity and strength to flexion of the plane surfaces and resistance to deformation.
