Plastics pallet

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A pallet of plastic material, comprising an upper loading surface being defined about its periphery by side edges; a plurality of blocks secured to the pallet and extending on the underside of and projecting down from the upper loading surface; located underneath the upper loading surface and spaced inwardly from the side edges thereof, there is at least one oblong shaped reinforcing channel; walls which are attached underneath the upper loading surface for defining the channel; the channel having an upper side that is at least partly defined by the upper loading surface, the channel being shaped and adapted for removably receiving a reinforcing member; a reinforcing member in said channel; means for locking the reinforcing member in said channel in a removable way, the locking means comprising one of the walls that defines the channel being recessed, whereby the reinforcing channel for accommodating the reinforcing member takes an undulatory configuration in its longitudinal direction, so that the wall clampingly engages the reinforcing member.
2.
The pallet of claim 1, wherein the wall that is recessed is recessed at spaced apart locations along the channel for defining the undulatory configuration.
3.
A pallet of plastic material, comprising an upper loading surface being defined about its periphery by side edges; a plurality of blocks secured to the pallet and extending on the underside of and projecting down from the upper loading surface; located underneath the upper loading surface and spaced inwardly from the side edges thereof, there is at least one oblong shaped reinforcing channel; walls which are attached underneath the upper loading surface for defining the channel; the channel having an upper side that is at least partly defined by the upper loading surface, the channel being shaped and adapted for removably receiving a reinforcing member; a reinforcing member in said channel; means for locking the reinforcing member in said channel in a removable way, the locking means comprising one of the walls that defines the channel being recessed on the side facing the upper loading surface and another of the walls that defines the channel being recessed on the side thereof away from the upper loading surface, whereby the reinforcing channel for accommodating the reinforcing member takes an undulatory configuration in its longitudinal direction, so that the reinforcing member is removably clamped in said channel
