<p>A paperboard pallet has a sheet (A) of cardboard forming a pallet platform (12) supported above the floor by a plurality of skid runners (B). The skid runners (B) each comprise a continuous U-shaped channel member with a pair of outwardly extending flange portions (34, 36) which have an open top channel in which supporting cores (40) are received, the cores (40) mating flush with the bottom of the platform (12). The flange portions (34, 36) having tacking surfaces which are attached to the bottom of the pallet platform (12). The tacking surfaces extend the length of the channel members and provide spaced apart tacking surfaces, staples may also be inserted, which resist twisting of the skid runners (B) relative to the pallet platform (12) in the yaw, roll and pitch direction. In particular, the unitizing, tacking surfaces resist twisting in the yaw direction to prevent destruction of the pallet should the runner (B) be struck by a fork of a lift truck. Score lines (14, 16) are formed in the pallet platform to form unitizing flaps (18, 20) which fold up to meet the stacked material and by means of wrapping facilitate the provision of a unitary package. The skid runner (B) terminate short of the score lines (14, 16) to facilitate nesting of two palletized packages one on top of the other.</p> |
