Twin sheet pallet

A plastic twin sheet pallet comprising an upper plastic sheet and a lower plastic sheet fused together at selected interfaces, characterized in that:

• the lower sheet has a generally rectangular configuration and includes generally parallel upstanding sidewalls, generally parallel upstanding end walls, and a plurality of separate, flat, laterally spaced, parallel bottom walls extending from end wall to end wall, the underfaces of the bottom walls defining a pallet footprint comprised solely of a plurality of separate, flat, laterally spaced, parallel surfaces extending from end wall to end wall of the sheet;
• and
• the upper sheet has a generally rectangular configuration and is positioned over the lower sheet and selectively fused to the lower sheet to define a platform surface for the pallet.

A twin sheet plastic pallet comprising:

• a generally rectangular lower plastic sheet including upstanding sidewalls and upstanding end walls and defining a plurality of separate, parallel, upwardly opening longitudinally extending U-shaped grooves extending from end to end of the sheet and a plurality of downwardly opening U-shaped grooves interspersed between the upwardly opening grooves and opening in the end walls of the sheet;
• and
• a generally rectangular upper plastic sheet defining a top wall providing a platform surface for the pallet and a plurality of upwardly opening U-shaped protrusions extending downwardly from the top wall and sized to nest within the upwardly opening grooves of the lower sheet whereby, with the upper sheet positioned over the lower sheet and the protrusions positioned in the upwardly opening grooves, the sheets may be fused together to form double thickness U-shaped wall structures at the interfaces of the protrusions and the upwardly opening grooves.

A twin sheet plastic pallet comprising:

• a generally rectangular lower plastic sheet having parallel, alternate upwardly opening grooves and downwardly opening grooves extending from end to end of the sheet;
• and
• a generally rectangular upper plastic sheet having a generally planar top wall and a plurality of upwardly opening protrusions extending downwardly from the top wall and nestingly and fusedly received in the upwardly opening grooves in the lower sheet.
