Abstract: A pallet system includes a pallet body. The pallet body is formed from a first, independently formed first portion and a second blow molded second upper portion insert molded to the first portion. The pallet body may have two to eight recesses for forklift truck fork access. The second upper portion has a generally rectangular surface for carrying loads. The portions may have anti-skid properties, for example, a knurled topside surface or rubber coated bottom. At least one foot is attached to the second upper portion by insert molding. At least one runner may be attached to each foot to form part of the first portion. At least one stringer is attached to each runner to add further stability to the pallet. The runners and feet have channels or protruding members to effectively mate with the second upper portion. The system may also have top cap and tie members to affix the cap to one or more pallet bodies.

Abstract: An apparatus for allowing pre-assembly of a wheel and wheel spacer and a method of using the apparatus are disclosed. The apparatus provides a structure within the hub of a molded plastic wheel and a structure on a spacer segment for engagement of the two parts. A variety of embodiments are described in which the spacer can easily be snapped, screwed, or pressed into the wheel. This allows pre-assembly of the spacer and wheel so that when needed, a spacer need not be found or acquired, but is readily available to the user.

Abstract: A pallet system has a pallet body that includes a first portion with an outer surface and an inner surface that has at least a portion distant from the outer surface and a corrugating form. The pallet body also includes a second portion with an outer surface and an inner surface that has at least a portion distant from the outer surface and a corrugating form. The inner surface of the first portion is connected to the inner surface of the second portion between each respective corrugating form. Channels and protrusions may also be used to add strength and support to the body. The portions are connected at tack off points.
