Abstract
A system for storing cylindrical objects includes at least two article supporting pallets having mating projecting noses and oppositely disposed recesses. The pallets comprise at least upper deck boards for supporting the articles on the one hand and engaging a supporting surface such as a floor on the tops of risers or other vertically disposed restrainers on the other hand. The projecting noses and opposed recesses are preferably tapered for ease of alignment. The pallet is dimensioned so that the pallet has a width dimension approximating two and three quarters the diameter of a selected article, a length dimension approximating two diameters of the selected article and the nose projects approximately one half the diameter of the selected article. The system also encompasses the use of a series of pallet sizes, wherein each pallet differs from the other by about 15 percent in size, which permits the user to achieve optimal storage density for a broader range of diameters for such articles.
