A ROTATIONALLY-MOULDED LOAD-CARRYING APPARATUS

摘要

The invention relates to load-carrying apparatus, for example pallets and shipping containers, rotationally moulded from a plastics material filled with a mineral filler. Methods and apparatus for manufacturing the load-carrying apparatus are also described. In one embodiment, the load-carrying apparatus comprises a pallet formed in two halves as two pallet elements. The plastic, rotationally moulded pallet elements form a nested configuration when stacked in the same orientation, but interlock to form a double-sided pallet when one of the pallet elements is inverted.
