Abstract
A molded plastic rectangular pallet has a deck made of corrugated thin sheet material. A multiplicity of corrugations, and preferably all of them, run continuously across the deck and parallel to a line connecting the diagonally opposite corners of the deck. The pallet, when predominately plastic, preferably has a metal deck and a base comprised of rails having steel reinforcing beams. Eight columns extend upwardly from the rails for supporting a frame which forms the periphery of the top. The deck edge is preferably inset from the outer edge of the top of the pallet, and the deck has a flat flange which is attached to the frame or to a subframe mounted within the frame.
