Benefits of technology

[0006] It is thus an object of the invention to provide an easily assembled and repairable plastic pallet (FIG. 1) that includes two or more plastic runner rails (FIGS. 2&4), with multiple top / bottom molded on pegs (FIG. 4) for board mounting (FIGS. 5&6). When two or more plastic runner rails (FIGS. 2&4) are secured to multiple cross boards (FIGS. 5&6) you form a pallet (FIG. 1). Accordingly, an easily assembled and repairable plastic shipping pallet (FIG. 1) is provided.

Problems solved by technology

Wooden pallets can be expensive, often break and become unusable after one or more uses, and can create disposal problems.

Embodiment Construction

[0017] (Added) This section was added to get a better understanding on how to put together and take apart this repairable plastic pallet.

Assembly of the Repairable Plastic Pallet:

[0018]“Board / Slat (FIG. 6) will be used in conjunction with runner / rail (FIG. 4) to form an assembled pallet (FIG. 1)”.

[0019] Step 1: Refer to Drawing (FIG. 4) of a Runner / Rail. [0020] A. “I suggest assembling bottom side first”. Take 3 runner / rails (FIG. 4) placing on a flat surface notch side up. [0021] B. Be sure pegs are facing in same direction. [0022] C. Only on one end of each runner / rail, the first 2 pegs are turned in opposite direction than the others. (When the board (FIG. 6) is mounted this prevents the jarring loose caused by a the entrance of a forklift or pallet jack).

[0023] Step 2: Refer to Drawing (FIG. 6) of a Board / Slat. [0024] A. The board / slat (FIG. 6) will only go on in one direction. [0025] B. Place the board / slat (FIG. 6) on the runner / rail (FIG. 4). [0026] C. At this point the ...

Abstract

An easily assembled and repairable plastic pallet that include two or more runner rails (FIGS. 2&4) and / with multiple plastic cross boards (FIGS. 5&6) secured perpendicularly to the opposite side rails (FIGS. 2&4). This construction allows for rapid and easy repair of a pallet (FIG. 1) that may become damaged. The plastic cross boards (FIGS. 5&6) and runner rails (FIGS. 2&4) are all ribbed out for the sole purpose of lighter weight. The repairable plastic pallet is made of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) or Polypropylene (PP) in virgin or recycled material along with a foaming agent or a gas to form a stronger and lighter weight pallet. Therefore, not ruling out the uses of other types of materials possibly used in the future.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to an easily assembled and repairable plastic lightweight shipping pallet. [0002] 1. Technical Field [0003] This present invention relates to various shipping pallets and more particularly to an easily assembled and repairable plastic shipping pallet that includes two or more plastic runner rails (FIG. 4) each including multiple top and bottom pegs for board mounting. When two or more plastic runner rails (FIG. 4) are secured to multiple plastic cross boards (FIGS. 5&6) top and bottom you form a pallet (FIG. 1). [0004] 2. Background of the Invention [0005] Wooden pallets can be expensive, often break and become unusable after one or more uses, and can create disposal problems. Therefore, it would be desirable to have “my invention” a repairable plastic pallet that could / can be used for multiple uses and if damaged, repaired on site. My invention is a repairable plastic pallet that is recyclable, eliminating a disposal problem. Thi...
