Claim 0:
1. A pallet assembly for carrying at least one object, comprising:
a pallet to support the at least one object on a receiving surface thereof, the pallet including at least one socket;
at least one positioning rod operable to restrain a lateral movement of the at least one object on the receiving surface, each positioning rod of the at least one positioning rod including a main body and a positioning pin secured to the main body, the positioning pin operable to be removably received in a socket of the at least one socket in one of a plurality of rotationally-fixed positions relative to a pin longitudinal axis of the positioning pin and with the main body extending above the receiving surface to restrain the lateral movement of the at least one object,
wherein the main body of each positioning rod of the at least one positioning rod is rotationally asymmetrical about the pin longitudinal axis thereof, and the positioning pin is operable to be selectively repositioned within the socket of the at least one socket between at least a first position of the plurality of rotationally-fixed positions with the main body in a first orientation and a second position of the plurality of rotationally-fixed positions with the main body in a second orientation different from the first orientation.
