Abstract:
1. An expandable modular interlocking pallet system comprising: a plurality of elongated modules each sized to be a fraction of a desired pallet size, each module forming a support of such strength for a load, each module further having on a first side at least two female tracks and a second side opposite the first side at least two male tracks such that the female tracks and male tracks of adjacent modules are adapted to interlock as desired to assemble a pallet of said desired pallet size; each elongated module also having at least one slam latch and a striker, wherein said slam latch is nested in the elongated module and adapted to be mechanically biased against the striker of an adjacent module, to engage the striker of the adjacent module, and to inhibit vertical separation of the modules to lock the modules together to form said pallet, and to disengage the striker to permit disassembly of the elongated module as desired; and each elongated module also having passageways adapted to permit placing of forks of a fork lift under the modules as assembled into said pallet.
