A metallic pallet (20) having generally planar top (22) and bottom (40) sides. Corner pieces (56) join the top (22) and bottom (40) sides and provide controlled deformation in the event of corner impacts. Spacer block (78, 80) function as risers to establish a space between top (22) and bottom (40) sides for receiving forklift tines (24). The top side (22) is formed in a rectangular formation with long (28) and short (30) rails establishing a perimeter and a cruciform inner frame members (32, 34). The rails (28, 30) and inner frame members (32, 34) establish four bounded interior fields (38) which are filled with die cast aluminum quarter panels (84) the quarter panels (84) are stitch welded about their periphery to the inner edges of the rails (28, 30) and inner frame members (32, 34) to create an integral, rigid top side (22) which is easy to fabricate and exceptionally strong. An RFID tag (58) may be located in a hollow corner piece (56) for tracking purposes. |
