COMPOSITED FOUR-WAY PAPER CARGO PALLET

摘要

A pallet is constructed of paper. The pallet design involves a central platform or deck (200) constructed of a honeycomb filler supported by a set of runners (204) extending from one edge of the central platform to the other and is bounded on all of the bottom surfaces by a single corrugated sheet (206). The runners (204) are then modified by cutting away appropriate portions (304) to form a four way pallet. The cut (304) portions are then reinforced by addition of reinforcing corrugated sheets. The upper surface of the central platform (200) may be covered with a corrugated sheet (202) or heavy sheet stock. Additionally, the upper and/or lower sheets (202, 206) may be folded over the edges of the honeycomb core and fastened to the other side. The design permits a flexible and inexpensive method of producing either four- or two- way pallets.
