INTERLOCKING MODULAR PALLET APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION

摘要

An interlocking modular pallet apparatus (10) and method of construction which includes plastic modular platform sections (12, 13, 14, 15) aligned in a two-by-two arrangement with interlocking flanges (18) between the adjoining surfaces of the platform sections. A plurality of leg structures (44) extend down from the lower surface of the platform sections. A center conical support structure (44) with a locking lip or tab (72) is formed by the adjoinment of the platform sections. A band or ring (46) of durable material, e.g. metal, is placed onto the conical structure to draw and lock together, via the locking tab and ring, the adjoining platform sections. A series of upper and lower frictional, rubberized pads (20, 21) are aligned and interlocked through the lattice holes along the perimeter of the pallet lattice.
