Plastic pallet

The pallet of claim 7, wherein at least one of the lower surface of the top deck and the upper surface of the bottom deck have at least one channel formed therein for receiving the at least one reinforcement member therein.

A pallet comprising:

• a first deck member having an upper surface arranged for receiving a load thereupon, and a lower surface having a first plurality of cross-ribs;
• and
• a second deck member having a horizontally disposed upper portion with a lower surface, and an upper surface defined by a second plurality of cross-ribs corresponding generally to and mating with the first plurality of cross-ribs, the second deck further having a lower portion integrally formed with the upper portion to form a unitary construction therewith, the lower portion extending downwardly from the upper portion and defined by a plurality of generally parallel runners for supporting the pallet, the runners spaced apart from each other to define openings therebetween, each runner having a plurality of post members and at least one support member extending between the bottom of the post members for interconnecting the posts members in a unitary construction.

A pallet assembly comprising:

• an upper deck portion having a first mating cross-ribbed surface, and a load surface opposite the first mating ribbed surface;
• and
• a lower deck portion having a second mating ribbed surface defined by a plurality of rib members, a lower surface opposite the second mating ribbed surface, and a plurality of generally parallel legs extending downwardly from the lower surface to form a unitary construction therewith, the legs spaced apart from each other to define pallet openings therebetween, the legs having at least one post member within which some of the plurality of rib members extend to a bottom surface of the at least one post member, and a foot portion extending across a bottom of the at least one post member and forming a unitary construction therewith, wherein the first and second mating ribbed surfaces are mounted to each other for securing the upper deck portion and lower deck portion together.

A pallet for supporting goods comprising:

• a top deck member having an upper surface upon which said goods are supported, and a lower surface having a plurality of first cross-rib members forming first partial box-beam sections;
• and
• a bottom deck member having an upper surface having a plurality of second cross-rib members forming second partial box beam sections and corresponding generally to the first cross-rib members, the first and second cross-rib members attached to form box-beam sections between the top deck and bottom deck, the bottom deck member further including a plurality of runners projecting downwardly from the upper surface in a unitary construction and extending transversely across the pallet in a generally parallel orientation and having a lower surface, the runners further having a plurality of upright members and support members extending between the upright members and integrally formed therewith in a unitary construction, wherein the plurality of second cross-rib members extend from the upper surface of the bottom deck to the lower surface of the runners.

A pallet:

• a first deck member having first mating surface having a plurality of first cross-rib members forming first partial box-beam sections;
• and
• a second deck member having a second mating surface having a plurality of second cross-rib members forming second partial box beam sections and corresponding generally to the first cross-rib members, the first and second mating surfaces attached to form box-beam sections between the first deck member and second deck member, the second deck member further including a plurality of runners projecting downwardly from the second mating surface in a unitary construction and extending transversely across the second deck member in a generally parallel orientation, the runners further having a plurality of post members and support members extending between the post members and integrally formed therewith in a unitary construction, wherein the plurality of second cross-rib members extend between the second mating surface and a lower portion of the runners.
