PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problems that conventional pallets used for the transport or the storage of cargo are mainly made of wood, and in order to maintain the strength, the members are thick, and the self weights are heavy, and therefore, workability is unfavorable, and the weight reduction is desired, and also, at the time of storage when not being used, the conventional pallets have a structure only good for stacking, and the stacking volume cannot be reduced, and the pallets are stacked high in a working space, and there is even danger for collapsing, and also, the wooden pallets for export packaging have troublesomeness for being applied a fumigation-treatment affecting the circulation cost, and the improvement of the material and the shape of pallets are required. SOLUTION: For the material of this pallet, in a plastic containing reproduced materials, an aggregate for keeping the strength, and an extender or the like for reducing the cost and weight are mixed, and in addition, a thermal extrusion-molding is performed at around 200°C in order to further reduce the manufacturing cost. Also, a flat plate used for a platform and the posts are separately manufactured and assembled. The post is made into a conical shape to have a nesting function, and can be stacked without disassembly. Thus, the reduction of a space at the time of storage is realized, and the pallet can cope with accidents resulting from side slip or collapse. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
