PCT No. PCT/GB82/00081 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 9, 1982 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 9, 1982 PCT Filed Mar. 9, 1982 PCT Pub. No. WO82/03057 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 16, 1982.A pallet carrying industrial loads includes on the base thereof, two parallel longitudinally extending sleeve members of which the sides are pleated whereby the sleeve may collapse in a vertical direction with the folded sides supporting the weight of the pallet. The sleeve incorporates an initial opening for entry of a fork lift whereby as the fork is moved into the sleeve the pleated sides allow progressive expansion. On removal of the forks the sleeve progressively collapses to provide reduced storage height and lessening the transport costs. The sleeve and pallet base may be constructed from fibreboard materials. |
