In the embodiment as shown in Figure 1 , three spacer sections 16 are included, each having three feet 14 formed together as a single spacer section. However, more or fewer than three sections 16 may be used for the pallet 10. Also,- each spacer section 16 may have more or fewer than three feet 14. Moreover, although the feet 14 in each of the sections 16 form a single row in the embodiment of Figure 1, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the feet within one modular spacer section may be distributed in multiple rows and columns.

  • the spacer section 16 may be cut from a larger piece having unitarily formed feet distributed in two- dimensions, i.e., a piece having a matrix of feet.

  • each of the feet 14 comprises a hollow body, in which a hollow extrusion 15 is formed.
  • the extrusions 15 help strengthening the feet 14 without interfering the nesting of the spacer sections 16, as illustrated in Figure 4.
  • Figure 4 shows that a plurality of spacer sections 16 are nested. It is noted that after the pallet 10 is assembled, a plurality of pallets can also be nested.
  • the invention allows the spacer sections 16 to be manufactured stored separately from the deck 12. After manufacturing the spacer sections 16, they can be nested, thus saving storage space. Also, when nested the spacer sections are easier to transport.
  • the spacer sections 16 can be coupled to the deck 12 to form the pallets 10 in the factory, or at the packaging or shipping site.
  • Figures 5A - 5C show a method of assembling a pallet according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 5A is a perspective view of a large plastic spacer section 11 unitarily formed as one piece with multiple rows and columns of feet 14.
  • the large plastic spacer section 11 is formed using suitable plastic preforms and thermal molding to form the desired size and shape.
  • Figure 5B the large plastic section 11 as shown is cut into a plurality of spacer sections 16, each having a single row of feet 14.
  • Figure 5C is a perspective view of a pallet before being assembled, including the panel 12 provided separately. After the spacer sections 16 are cut to have the desired size including the desired number of feet for the specific pallet dimensions, plural spacer sections 16 are mounted to the panel 12 as described above. For example, in the illustrated embodiment three sections 16 are mounted to the deck panel 12. This results in a completed pallet 10 of desired size and shape starting from a simple, generic panel and preform.
  • the pallet 10 shown in Figure 1 can thus be formed using the components shown in Figure 5C , for example, by coupling the plastic spacer sections 16 to the plywood deck 12 using adhesives.

  • the present invention provides a pallet design that employs the use of a deck, for example made of plywood or similar material with equal or better performance, and which incorporates specially designed plastic spacer blocks. Since the spacer blocks are made of plastic they avoid the disadvantages of solid wood blocks described above.
  • the spacer blocks are designed to provide a modular pallet design. Since the pallet design is modular, it provides a number of benefits. More particularly, the modular pallet of the invention has a number of advantages.
  • the spacer sections 16 are lightweight, waterproof, and may utilize recycled material. In addition, the spacer sections 16 are compact and may be reusable.
  • the modular design provides a number of additional benefits, including, for example, compliance with restrictive pallet requirements, compact and nestable pallets resulting in logistical advantages over solid wood units.
  • the design is more robust than all-plastic pallets, yet can be more economical.
  • the modular design also allows many different sized pallets to be configured using a common spacer block part. The spacers can be removed from the assembled pallets and reused elsewhere, leading to improved logistics.
  • the pallets in accordance with embodiments of the invention also provide better standardization with different shipping locations.
