Abstract

A plastic pallet including a square upper plate part and lower plate part, and columns connecting the upper plate part and the lower plate part. Fork insertion apertures are formed between the columns in the side faces of the pallet. Rectangular reinforcing frames are multiply formed surrounding the cross-section of the fork insertion apertures orthogonal to the fork insertion direction, and a hollow portion is formed inside these reinforcing frames, along at least three sides of the reinforcing frame.

Claims (8)

1. A plastic pallet having an upper plate part and a lower plate part arranged parallel to each other, and a plurality of columns connecting the upper plate part and lower plate part, and fork insertion apertures being formed between the columns,

wherein corresponding to at least one of the fork insertion apertures there is formed at least one reinforcing frame surrounding a cross-section perpendicular to a fork insertion direction of the fork insertion apertures, and a hollow portion is formed in an interior of at least one portion of the reinforcing frame, and

wherein the reinforcing frame has an upper horizontal beam formed along the upper plate part, a lower horizontal beam formed along the lower plate part, and a pair of vertical beams connecting the upper horizontal beam and the lower horizontal beam, and at least three of the upper horizontal beam, the lower horizontal beam and the pair of vertical beams have a hollow portion for communicating with each other.

2. A plastic pallet according to claim 1 , wherein of the upper horizontal beam, the lower horizontal beam and the pair of vertical beams, a section which does not have a hollow portion in the interior has a width smaller than that of a section which does have a hollow portion in the interior.

3. A plastic pallet according to claim 1 , wherein the upper horizontal beam, the lower horizontal beam and the pair of vertical beams all have hollow portions for communicating with each other.

4. A plastic pallet having an upper plate part and a lower plate part arranged parallel to each other, and a plurality of columns connecting the upper plate part and lower plate part, and fork insertion apertures being formed between the columns,

wherein corresponding to at least one of the fork insertion apertures there is formed at least one reinforcing frame surrounding a cross-section perpendicular to a fork insertion direction of the fork insertion apertures, and a hollow portion is formed in an interior of at least one portion of the reinforcing frame, and

wherein a gas inlet for communicating the hollow portion with the outside of the plastic pallet is formed in an outer face of the reinforcing frame, and a non-slip member to close the gas inlet is attached to the upper plate part or the lower plate part.
