Abstract

A modular pallet is made up of plural injection molded plastic pallet members, each of which has a plurality of posts spaced apart from each other and depending from a deck portion of the pallet member. The pallet members may be rectangular, square or of irregular shape but operable to provide either a square or rectangular shaped pallet when arranged in predetermined patterns in opposing deck sections of the pallet. The pallet members have cooperating projections and recesses formed in respective ones of the posts and the pallet members of one deck section overlie and interlock with at least two pallet members of the other deck section. Releasable fasteners comprising deflectable tines may be projected through openings in the cooperating projections and recesses of each pallet member to secure the pallet members of the opposing deck sections to each other to form the assembled modular pallet. The pallets may be square or rectangular and made up of plural identical pallet members in each deck section or no more than two different pallet members used to form a deck section.
