A three-piece lightweight pallet involving the use of a basic pallet member constructed from a pair of generally flat, die cut panels of essentially rectangular configuration, with a plurality of longitudinally disposed structural members created on the inner surface of each panel. During the creation of a basic pallet member, one of the panels is turned such that its structural members are disposed in an angular relationship to the structural members of the other of the panels. A spaced plurality of slots are formed in the structural members of each basic panel member, with such slots in the structural members of one panel positioned to coincide with the slots of the structural members of the other panel, so that when the two panels are aligned and pushed together, the slots of the structural members of one panel enter and interfit with respective slots of the other panel. The interfitted panels, upon thereafter being placed inside an encapsulating member constructed of lightweight material, form an integral, three-piece pallet unit of considerable strength. Preferably the plurality of longitudinally disposed structural members are made up of separate, longitudinally extending legs whose inner surfaces have been secured together either by adhesive means or by mechanical means. Generally rectangularly shaped apertures are provided in the basic pallet member that are intended to receive the forks of a fork lift truck, which apertures align with similar apertures in said encapsulating member at such time as latter member is installed around said basic pallet member.
