Abstract: A shipping pallet assembly which has the versatility of being interengaged with another identical pallet deck to serve as a base member or with separate foot members. The versatile shipping pallet assembly offers the advantages of reduced tooling costs in that two tools can produce the "two way" pallet and another tool to produce the separate but attachable feet. Additional advantages are in the use of covers for placement over the foot wells to prevent small parts from entering; strips to retard movement of containers and removable portions which permit the conversion to a smaller size pallet deck or openings for the wheels of a hand pallet truck.
