  • Publication number: 20070266909
    Abstract: A pallet includes a platform having a plurality of openings for carrying an object thereon, and a plurality of legs attached to the platform for supporting the platform above a surface. Each of the legs is positioned in a respective one of each of the platform openings and includes a cone having an upper end proximate the platform and a lower end for resting on the surface. The upper end has a diameter greater than a diameter of the lower end so that a second like pallet can be nested within the first pallet. Each leg can include a bull nose positioned proximate the lower end for providing a stop for the second like pallet nested within the first pallet in order to facilitate separation of the second pallet from the first pallet.
