Abstract: A plastic pallet comprises a plurality of longitudinal spaced apart and parallel base members; a plurality of longitudinal spaced apart and parallel cross-members disposed transversely over the base members; and a plurality of compression cups or cylinders for snapping the components together. The base and cross-members are extruded polyvinylchloride. Each of the base member has a substantially "I"-beam cross-section with a web portion disposed between substantially trapezoidal upper and lower flange portions. The base and cross-members each includes a plurality of longitudinal openings for making the pallet lightweight and rigid.
