Abstract
A recyclable, heavy duty, lightweight, moisture resistant corrugated fiberboard pallet is provided for improved performance of a pallet in various commercial and industrial applications. All major components are made of double walled, corrugated fiberboard that has been laminated for moisture control, and are connected with adhesive. A top pallet assembly is composed of two rectangular support sheets and load sheet. Attached to the bottom of the pallet top assembly are a series of runners. Each runner is comprised of a single sheet of fiberboard, scored and folded so as to form a four-sheet thickness, comprised of eight walls of fiberboard with corrugation vertically placed, and providing superior crush resistance when supporting heavy loads. Attached to each runner is a runner brace. Each runner brace is scored and wraps around a runner, with excess fiberboard being used to connect the runner to the pallet top assembly. A pallet bottom is secured to the lower surfaces of the runner braces.
