Pallet construction with RFID/GPS tracking, light and sound locating features, in combination with magnetic stack-ability

摘要

A stackable and nest-able pallet construction including a rectangular shaped insert incorporating structurally supporting and reinforcing members. The insert has a specified thickness encapsulated within a plasticized material and includes a plurality of downwardly extending support feet. Either of edge or corner defined mating locations are established between upper and lower surfaces, such that a second identically configured pallet is capable of being seated in supporting fashion upon a first pallet. To facilitate multiple (non-use) stackability, inter-attracting magnets can be disposed in upper and lower surface proximate locations of each identically configured pallet. The magnets may further include upper surface located and spring loaded magnets in combination with bottom surface recessed magnets of opposite polarity which, upon stacking atop an identically configured pallet, draws the upper spring supported magnet of a lower pallet into seating contact with an opposing and underside situated magnet associated with an upper pallet.
