Abstract: A modular pallet comprised of a plurality of elongated runner beams arranged in spaced, parallel relation, interconnected by a plurality of transversely positioned elongated slats. The upper surfaces of the runner beams include a plurality of upper recesses, adapted to receive a respective connector portion of an upper slat. End blocks and an intermediate block depend from the lower surface of each runner beam. The blocks include lower recesses to receive a respective connector portion of a lower slat. Front and rear entry openings exist between parallel runner beams. Side entry openings exist between the blocks of a runner beam. In this manner, the front, rear, and opposing sides of the pallet may be engaged by the forks of a forklift or a pallet jack. Structural reinforcement in the form of diagonal bracing and vertical walls is provided both in the runner beams and in the slats.
