Abstract
A modular pallet includes a plurality of spaced substantially parallel elongated stringer members, a plurality of spaced substantially parallel elongated upper deck members and a plurality of spaced substantially parallel elongated lower deck members. At least a portion of each of the upper/lower deck members, between first and second upper/lower deck member mating sections, is shaped to be perpendicularly received by upper/lower grooves in the elongated stringer members and interlocked at the first and second upper/lower deck member mating sections to different ones of the elongated stringer members by movement of at least one of the stringer member and the upper/lower deck member with respect to each other.
