Abstract
A pallet includes a lower panel, a plurality of feet, and a perimeter fault in the lower panel extending adjacent a perimeter of the lower panel. The pallet may also include a plurality of surrounding faults in the lower panel, where each of the surrounding faults extends around a respective one of the plurality of feet. The faults or recesses allow for an engineered region of reduced stiffness in line with the loads seen during impacts in the leading edge or feet of the pallet.
