A palletizing system for a plurality of generally parallelepiped cartons containing crushable products such as heads of lettuce. A pallet dimensioned to receive thereon a plurality of uniform size cartons in a rectangular pattern whereby orthogonal vertical confronting zones are formed intermediate the cartons. Two or more thin elongate compression resistant members and means for supporting the members on the pallet and within the zones. A rigid plate substantially congruent to the pallet for placement in bearing relation at the upper extremities of the compression resistant members so that the load from a plurality of cartons stacked on top of the plate will be transferred to the pallet and will not unduly compress or damage the cartons disposed below the plate.

A palletizing system for a plurality of parallelepiped cartons each having a length, width, and height, said palletizing system comprising a plurality of said cartons, a rectangular pallet having length and width dimensions substantially equal to integral multiples of the respective length and width

A palletizing system for a plurality of parallelepiped cartons each having a length, width, and height, said palletizing system comprising a plurality of said cartons, a rectangular pallet having length and width dimensions substantially equal to integral multiples of the respective length and width dimensions of the cartons, said cartons being placed on the pallet in four equal tiers to form orthogonal vertical zones therebetween, at least four independent thin elongate compression resistant members of rectangular cross section, said elongate members having a thickness dimension and a width dimension substantially greater than said thickness dimension, means for supporting said elongate compression resistant members in upstanding relation of said pallet in vertical planes within said zones and adjacent to respective sides of said pallet so that the width dimension is perpendicular to the respective side, said supporting means including portions of said pallet defining upward opened sockets and said elongate compression members having lower portions configured for entry into said sockets, said elongate compression resistant members having a length approximately equal to an integral multiple of the height of the cartons, and a rigid planar plate substantially congruent to said pallet for placement in Bearing upon the upper extremities of said elongate compression resistant members so as to be supported in parallel spaced relation above said pallet and to transfer the load of cartons disposed thereon to said pallet through said elongate compression resistant members.
