pallet with support elements configured as one-piece skids, and related manufacturing method

摘要

A pallet (10) includes a base layer (20), a cargo layer (30) and spaced apart support elements (40) positioned between the base layer (20) and the cargo layer (30) and forming a gap (50) therebetween for receiving a lifting member. The cargo layer (30) includes a pair of spaced apart connector boards (32) and a pair of spaced apart end deck boards (34) orthogonal to the pair of connector boards (32). Each support element (40) extends in length between the pair of spaced apart end deck boards (34) and is configured as a one-piece skid, and includes an open recessed channel (60) therein to receive a respective connector board (32) from the cargo layer (30).
