An apparatus includes a pallet bottom with a first side with a first edge, a second side, a third side with a third edge, and a fourth side, where the first side is adjacent to the second side and opposite the third side and the second side is opposite the fourth side. Each side includes an opening for receiving forks. The apparatus includes a first edge board along the second side connected between the first and the third edges, a second edge board along the fourth side connected between the first and third edges, and a deck plate connected to the first and third edges. The deck plate spans between the first edge board, the second edge board, the first edge and the third edge. The deck plate engages the first and the second edge boards at least at a mid-section of the first and the second edge boards.
