Abstract: A pallet sheet has a substantially planar, centrally located base region, and a pair of upwardly angled edge portions. The upper surface portion of the pallet sheet is provided with a plurality of upwardly oriented collapsible cleats for enhancing cushioning and frictional characteristics, and in addition, upwardly and downwardly oriented cleats are also disposed upon the upper and lower surface portions of the upwardly angled edge portions so as to provide enhanced gripping characteristics for the pallet sheet by a gripper bar mechanism of a motorized transport vehicle. Still further, a support system is provided for supporting a plurality of pallet sheets thereon wherein the oppositely disposed edge portions of the pallet sheets can be maintained at their desired predetermined angle.

Abstract: A new and improved tier sheet comprises a three-layer laminated extrusion comprising outer layers of a suitable polypropylene homopolymer, and an inner core layer comprising a suitable polypropylene copolymer blended with a suitable elastomer selected from the group comprising SANTOPRENE®, KRATON®; ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA), and a thermoplastic olefin (TPO).
