Abstract: A unitizing frame for a pallet, which can be quickly assembled and disassembled from the pallet, utilizing a pair of like panels having a width substantially equal to the lateral dimension of the pallet, the panels being fabricated of square tube stock and including hollow side frame members extending the length of the panel. A pair of panel support bars, of length equal to the other dimension of the pallet, has integral laterally extending plates for frictional engagement with upper and lower surfaces of structural components of the pallet when the bar is manually applied to the side of the pallet. A pair of the plates on the upper ends of the bars has welded thereto upstanding elements for removably interlocking with the lower ends of opposing side frame members for unassistedly holding the panels upright. Rod members, having downwardly turned ends, cross-brace the tops of the frames by insertion of the downwardly turned ends into the hollow tops or into slots in the sides, of opposing side frame members.
