Abstract
The embodiments describe various pallets and methods for constructing such pallets. An exemplary pallet may include a composite board having a foam core and a facer material coupled therewith. The composite board may define a roughly flat top surface that is configured to support one or more goods or other objects placed thereon. A plurality of composite blocks having a foam core and a facer material coupled therewith may be coupled with a bottom surface of the composite board to support the composite board above the ground. The plurality of composite blocks may also be arranged with respect to the bottom surface to allow forks of a fork lift to be positioned under the bottom surface of the composite board so that the pallet may be lifted and/or transported via the forklift.
