POF 0103 PCA RECYCLABLE PLASTIC PALLET ABSTRACT Pallets (20) upon which objects (22) may be stacked and to which a wrapping sheet (24) of stretch film, or a strap (102), may be secured to retain the objects (22) in relation to the pallet (20), is disclosed. The pallet (20) has rails (30,32,34) with perpendicularly extending slats (36) secured thereto. The rail (30) has an anchor (66) about which the wrapping sheet (24) may be frictionally and wedgingly retained. The anchor (66) may include either an elongate channel (70,72) or tongue (66) or both. The rails (30,32,34) may have ends with corner supports (60) which cooperate with one another to prevent objects secured atop pallet (20) from moving laterally or longitudinally. Corner supports (60) also allow the pallets (20) to be stacked one on top another. The ends of the rails have grooves (90) formed therein so that the wrapping sheet (24) may be stretchably secured within the groove (90) thereby impeding the wrapping sheet (24) from moving upwardly when wrapped about the pallet (20). The rails (30,32,34) may have stakes (50) formed therein which are received into apertures (54) in slat (36), preferably in a press fit and interlocking manner. Further, the stakes (50) and apertures (54) are heat-staked together to further secure slats (36) to rails (30,32,34). At least one of the rails (30,32,34) or one of the slats (36) may have a plurality of spaced slots (104,124) extending therethrough for cooperatively and releasably retaining strap (102) in a self-locking manner.
