Abstract
A combination knockdown pallet structure and article container is disclosed wherein the knockdown pallet structure comprises a base panel and a pair of pockets which are secured upon undersurface portions of the base panel so as to accommodate rigid support members for accommodating the fork tines of a forklift truck. A pair of cross-brace members are pivotally secured at first end portions upon the bas member so as to be movable between first operative position and a second inoperative position in order to permit the entire pallet structure to be rolled up, folded, or otherwise knocked-down. The article container is pivotally or removably secured upon the base panel so as to provide access to the cross-brace members.
