Abstract

An enclosed pallet unit comprises an assembly of two basic components that are twin sheet molded from high density polymer sheet material. Substantially identical pallet platforms serve as both the floor and roof of the assembly. A plurality of substantially identical load bearing wall units are slide bolt locked to both the floor and roof pallet platforms. Each load bearing wall unit is divided into two, twin sheet panels that are joined longitudinally by a strip portion of the opposite side sheets being fused together to form a hinge axis. A wall unit is socketed in receptacle channels adjacent each corner respective to the floor and roof pallets with each panel of a respective wall unit radiating substantially 90° from the panel hinge axis. Additional wall units may be used midway along either or both pairs of pallet edges with one panel of each wall unit aligned parallel with the pallet edge and the other panel of a respective unit turned substantially 90° to the pallet edge.
