A load handling pallet comprises two pleated sleeves (1) secured to the bottom of a load supporting member (2). Up-bent lips or taps (9) serve as guides for the entry of forks of load handling equipment into the sleeves. Each sleeve has side walls formed from two parts (3 and 4) hinged about a crease line (5). The parts (3) are hinged at each side to a base part (3a) and the parts (4) are hinged at each side to top flanges (4a) which may be double thickness as shown. The tabs (9) are provided at an end of a sheet member (9a) which is positioned between the top flanges (4a) and the pallet base (2). The base part (3a) can be provided with a cut-out part (3b) to prevent snagging by the forks of a lift truck. The parts are retained by staples (10). The sleeves may be secured directly to the lower surface of a load and be provided with entry guides for the lift forks. <IMAGE> |
