Abstract
A multiple section pallet assembly having a primary pallet member fitted with adjustable article attachment brackets thereon to accommodate and attach a wide range of articles such as vehicle seats of varying sizes. For seat attachment, a support tray and support pedestals adjustably secured to the brackets have connector pins to fit into associated pin openings in seat structure so that the seats can be readily and securely mounted on the pallet member for conveyance and subsequently easily removed therefrom. The primary pallet member can be readily fixed to a bottom sled to form a pallet assembly. The sled has laterally spaced openings for forklift handling. The sled also provides protection for the primary pallet member including conveyance on a work line and allows the article to be readily placed or built-up on the primary pallet. In the event automatic handling is used, the primary pallet is separated from and used without its sled for completed seat conveyance or for seat built-up and subsequent handling and conveyance.
