Abstract
An adjustable cover is provided to protect articles loaded onto pallets for transportation or storage, the upper surface of the loaded articles being planar and rectangular. The cover has four cover components, each comprised of a semi-rigid sheet having a straight outer edge that attaches to a rigid angle member. The cover components are adapted to adjustably interleave upon the rectangular upper surface of the loaded articles in a manner whereby the angle members abut against the corners of the rectangular upper surface. The cover is placed in an intervening position between the load of articles and strapping bands which generally are employed to secure the load to the pallet.
