Abstract: A nestable pallet includes a top deck which has an upper surface and a periphery, and also includes at least one foot member which extends from the periphery of the top deck. The foot member has a cutout which extends to the upper surface of the top deck, and which may be directed outwardly from the top deck. The cutout is arranged to receive a corresponding foot member of another pallet which is positioned thereabove in a nested orientation. The foot member may be disposed along a side of the top deck, or in a corner of the top deck. The pallet may also include at least one non-peripheral foot member extending downwardly from the top deck.

Abstract: A nestable pallet includes a top deck which has a substantially planar upper surface upon which a plurality of objects. The top deck has an upper surface and at least one opening formed therein. The pallet also includes a foot portion corresponding to the at least one opening. The foot portion has an inner surface, an outer surface, and an upright member which projects upwardly toward the top deck and has a hollow area disposed thereunder. In a nesting orientation, the hollow area receives the upward projecting member of a subjacent pallet. Preferably, the upper surface of the top deck portion is flat and substantially planar, upon which a plurality of objects are capable of resting. The opening, the inner surface and the upright member define a pocket for receiving the foot portion of a like pallet in a nesting orientation. In another embodiment, the pocket includes at least one aperture for drainage. In still another embodiment, the pocket includes at least one nesting stop portion.
