A shipping pallet assembly which has the versatility of being interengaged with another identical pallet deck to serve as a base member or with separate foot members. The versatile shipping pallet assembly offers the advantages of reduced tooling costs in that two tools can produce the “two way”pallet and another tool to produce the separate but attachable feet. Additional advantages are in the use of covers for placement over the foot wells to prevent small parts from entering; strips to retard movement of containers and removable portions which permit the conversion to a smaller size pallet deck or openings for the wheels of a hand pallet truck.

A pallet assembly comprising a pallet deck having a generally planar deck surface and projecting pedestals that flank and define a portion of a forklift channel, wherein: the pedestals comprise a pair of complete foot members comprising sidewalls extending downwardly from said deck surface and a bottom wall defining an end of said foot member interconnecting the sidewalls, each foot member attached at one of its sidewalls to a sidewall of another foot member and having interengaging means on said ends of said foot members opposite said deck surface for engagement in one instance with foot members of an indentical pallet deck and in another instance with a separate foot member to flank and define in both instances a forklift channel and a cut-a-way portion extending through said attachment of said pair of foot members so that upon separation a smaller sized pallet deck results with a complete foot member.
