More Information
Summary:A non-wood pallet (110) includes a support sheet (112) and at least a pair of channel members (114) disposed on the support sheet (112) for creating a pair of channels for receiving tines of a forklift. Each channel member (114) is secured to the support sheet (112) by at least one pair of tabs (118) each formed by a generally U-shaped cut line extending through the support sheet (112). The cut line (120) has spaced opposite ends between which a hinge line (124) extends, the hinge line (124) being formed by the support sheet (112) being locally crushed, with resultant thickness reduction, along a path extending between the opposite ends of the cut line (120). Opposite ends of each cut line (120) are curved away from each other so as to lengthen the hinge line (124). The tabs (118) are fastened to the channel members (114) by fastening devices such as elongate fastening members (116) (e.g., adhesive tape), staples, adhesive, hook-and-loop fasteners, or the like.
