A draw pulling pallet and method of making same, wherein the pallet is constructed of a thin flexible sheet of resinous material, preferably thermoplastic synthetic resinous material, which has been roughened on one side to prevent slippage of cargo therefrom. In preferred embodiments, the side of the sheet is roughened by longitudinally extending grooves and/or rhomboid pattern grooves. Preferred embodiments also include markings indicating the direction which the pallet is to be pulled. In one preferred embodiment, these markings are in the form of arrow shaped embossments and in other preferred embodiments, these markings are in the form of longitudinally extending colored embossments adjacent one side of the pallet. Preferred embodiments of the pallets also include perforations for accommodating drainage of water therefrom. Also, the pulling end or edge of the pallets includes reinforcements in the form of bevelling of the thin sheet of material and/or in the form of reinforcing bars mounted in a flanged-over edge of the sheet. These reinforcements, particularly the reinforcing bar and adjacent flanged-over edge portion of the sheet also serve as attachment points for clamping means of a truck or the like which is to pull the pallet during conveyance of goods stacked thereon.

A method of making a draw pallet comprising:
In a method for conveying stackable cargo in which stackable cargo is stacked on a draw pallet and said draw pallet together with the stack of stackable cargo thereon is transported by transportation means adapted to carry said draw pallet and said stack the improvement wherein said draw pallet comprises a thin flexible sheet of high-strength resinous material, and roughening means on one side of said thin sheet for limiting sliding of cargo stacked on said one side, the lateral edge portions of said thin flexible sheet being formed substantially completely from said thin sheet of resinous material, said draw pallet defining perforations through the central portion of said thin sheet for accommodating drainage of water therethrough.
In a method for conveying stackable cargo in which stackable cargo is stacked on a draw pallet and said draw pallet together with the stack of stackable cargo thereon is transported by transportation means adapted to carry said draw pallet and said stack, the improvement wherein said transportation means is a lift truck, said draw pallet being slidably pulled onto a supporting base of said lift truck, said draw pallet comprising a thin flexible sheet of high-strength resinous material and roughening means on one side of said thin sheet for limiting sliding of cargo stacked on said one side.
