Application April 17,
pallets such as those that are transportable by fork-lifting trucks and accommodate the larger pallets.
My invention has for its object the provision of a pallet of a transfer platform type that may be made entirely or mainly of heavy guage wire and which is of great strength for a given weight of material.
s the forks of lifting trucks elements of the structure.
The pallet has a deck having deck areas at A and B, the areas B being spaced from the wider II at the lighter mesh l0. formed of lighter heavy wires I I and and ends.
The underframe or base for the deck sheets may suitably be d mainly of guage wire and comprises a pair of longitudinal] -extending floor wires ,or rods I1 adjacent to each longitumesh wires l l 5 welded thereto at the edges 1947, Serial No. 741,983

sheets be The load can thereby I claim as my invention:
1. A pallet having load-receiving areas that are formed by deck portions that are spaced laterally of one another, to provide which lifting forks can enter raised and said areas, leg members, and connecting the leg members at which lifting forks can ing carried by said areas.
2. YA pallet having load-receiving areas that are formed by deck portions that are spaced laterally of one another, to provide openings through which lifting forks can enter raised and lowered, to planes above and below said area, leg members arranged in rows parallel to the said deck portions and laterally thereof, for supporting the deck members, the leg members ineach row being spaced apart to permit the movement of lifting forks horizontally into horizontally and be members for supporting the deck transversely-extending tie bars at a plane below that enter beneat horizontal direction, and tie memtransversely of the said openings and connecting the leg row with those of another row, at a plane below that at which lifting forks can enter beneath lading carried by said areas.
3. A pallet having load-receiving areas that are formed by deck portions that are spaced laterally of one another, to provide openings hrough which lifting forks can enter horizontally and be raised and lowered, to planes said areas, leg members arranged in rows parallel to the said deck portions .and in rows .laterally thereof, for supporting the deck members, the leg members being spaced apart to permit the movement of lifting forks into said openings and beneath the deck portions, from another horizontal direction,
deck portions and connecting members of the first-named rows at a that at which lifting forks can enter the leg plane below lowered, to planes above and below the deck portions,
tie members extending 4O beneath lading carried by said areas, and other tie members extending parallelto said deck portions and connecting the lower ends of the legs, at a plane below the first-named ti whereby lifting forks may be entered horizontally above the said other tie members and be engaged beneath the said deck portions.
4. A pallet deck portions of lattice form that are spaced laterally of one another to provide'spaces for the vertical movement of lifting forks, to planes above and below the deck surface, a plurality elements for supporting each deck portion and spaced longitudinally thereof, tie members connecting the legs of each deck portion to the legs of other deck portions, at a plane approximately mid-way between the uppermost and lowermost planes of the pallet structure, and diagonally-extending brace rods connecting the intermediate deck portion to the lower ends of the legs of the outer deck portions.
5. A pallet having load-receiving areas that are formed by deck portions that are spaced laterally of one another, to provide openings through which lifting forks can enter horizontally and be raised and lowered, to planes above and below said areas, leg members for supporting the deck members, tie bars connecting the lower ends the legs, and tie rods extending transversely of the load-receiving areas at a, plane approximately midway between the uppermost and lowermost planes of the structure and being secured to the legs.
