  • Patent number: 5505140
    Abstract: A pallet for the storage, transportation and unloading of equipment includes a support plate, a supporting structure, an opening and a movable ramp. The supporting structure extends from the support plate for supporting the support plate above a support surface. The supporting structure defines the opening which extends at least partially through the supporting structure. The movable ramp has a first end and a second end, and is movable between a storage position in which the first ramp is positioned within the opening while storing and transporting the equipment and a use position in which the ramp extends outwardly from the front edge of the support plate for unloading the equipment. The pallet may include, in place of the supporting structure, a plurality of spaced apart supporting members and a central member. The supporting members extend generally parallel to and are spaced from the plane of the support plate. The supporting members extend between the first and second side edges of the support plate.
