Abstract (en)

[origin: US2005193926A1] A pallet is constructed of a molded fibrous panel material comprising a sheet portion defining opposite planar surfaces, and a grid of intersecting ribs projecting from one of the planar surfaces of the sheet portion, the sheet portion and ribs being integrally molded from fibrous material. The pallet comprises a horizontal portion of the molded fibrous panel material forming an upper support surface of the pallet, and at least two spaced runners joined to the horizontal portion for engaging the ground to space the horizontal portion above the ground. Each runner comprises at least two vertical portions of the molded fibrous panel material arranged in parallel relation and bonded to one another. In one embodiment, a single panel member is folded along a series of parallel fold lines extending across a width of the member, so as to form the runners and the horizontal portion from the single member.
