Abstract
A lightweight, completely recyclable paper pallet (10) is provided which can be produced, shipped and stored as two die cut pieces (24, 26), and which can be readily constructed without gluing to form a complete pallet (10). Preferably, the pallet (10) includes a planar main panel (12) having a pair of laterally spaced apart, side marginal, box-like underlying support sections (18, 20); a box-like central support section (22) coupled to the main panel (12) completes the construction. Interconnection of the marginal support sections (18, 20) and central support section (22) is accomplished by means of notched locking elements (106-120, 174-188) passing through strategically located slots (38-60) in main panel (12) and interfitting with upright notched reinforcing panels (70-84, 140-146) provided along the length of the supports (18, 20, 22).
