Abstract
A pallet is made of corrugated material having two horizontal, upper and lower deck members. The deck members are substantially parallel to one another. The deck members are separated along their length by a center support member, two vertical side support, stringer members, and at least three separate internal members, or runners, that support the entire length of the top horizontal member. Two of the runners form a center support, and two of the runners form diagonal supports. Each diagonal support member forms a leg of an isosceles triangle with each vertical side support stringer member forming the other leg. The diagonal support members give added strength to the pallet and assist in distributing the load placed upon the pallet.
