A pallet includes columns, an upper deck, and a lower deck. The upper deck links upper ends of the columns such that upper surfaces of the columns and upper deck form an upper deck surface. The lower deck links lower ends of the columns such that lower surfaces of the columns and lower deck form a lower deck surface. Fork insertion structures receive forks of a lift apparatus inserted thereto from four sides of the pallet. Outer circumferential projections are formed along a peripheral edge of the upper deck surface, including an extended portion extending outward from the peripheral edge, and a support portion protruding upward from the extended portion. The support portion has a first height in an insertion-corresponding region, and a second height in a general region, the first height being equal to a thickness of the lower deck, the second height being greater than the first height. |

1. A pallet in an approximately rectangular shape in a plan view, the pallet comprising:
four corner columns that are provided at four corners of the pallet; four middle columns, each being provided in a middle between each pair of the corner columns arranged along a side of the pallet; a center column provided at a center of the pallet; an upper deck configured to link upper ends of the corner columns, the middle columns, and the center column, such that upper surfaces of the corner columns, the middle columns, the center column, and the upper deck form an upper deck surface on which an article is mountable; and a lower deck configured to link lower ends of the corner columns, the middle columns, and the center column, such that lower surfaces of the corner columns, the middle columns, the center column, and the lower deck form a lower deck surface which is grounded to an installation surface; and fork insertion structures defined by a lower surface of the upper deck, an upper surface of the lower deck, and side faces of the corner columns, the middle columns, and the center columns, the fork insertion structures being configured to receive forks of fork-equipped lift apparatus which are inserted thereto from four sides of the pallet, the four sides of the pallet constituting an outer circumferential surface of the pallet, wherein the lower deck has a thickness which is smaller than a thickness of the upper deck, wherein a height of the pallet which is a distance between the upper surface of the upper deck and the lower surface of the lower deck is equal to or smaller than 100 mm, wherein the pallet further comprises outer circumferential projections formed along a peripheral edge of the upper deck surface, the outer circumferential projections including:
an extended portion extending outward from the peripheral edge of the upper deck surface; anda support portion protruding upward from the extended portion, wherein the support portion has a first height in an insertion-corresponding region which is a region located above the fork insertion structure, and a second height in a general region other than the insertion-corresponding region, the first height being equal to a thickness of the lower deck, and the second height being greater than the first height. |
