Abstract
A hollow molded unitary plastic pallet is provided for use in handling and transporting cargo, particularly with forklift trucks. The pallet comprises upper and lower surfaces with legs disposed on the lower surface. Reinforcement of the pallet is achieved by means of holes through the pallet surfaces and by means of reinforcing grooves disposed on the legs and on the lower surface of the pallet. The grooves on the lower surface extend from the holes to the legs and continue down along the length of the legs to their bases.
