To complement the high speed of the advanced craft being developed by the Amphibious Assault Landing Craft Program, a need exists to consolidate cargo into larger unit loads in order to improve the material handling rates at the terminals of the ship-to-shore cycle. This report documents the design, fabrication, test, and evaluation of four prototype large pallets, 8 x 9 feet in area, each capable of carrying four standard 40 x 48-inch pallets. The prototype pallets include a wooden, a folded-plate, an aluminum, and a strongback design. Each pallet functioned well with respect to its specific design criteria; however, no one pallet was clearly superior to the other three alternatives, and none fulfilled all the design criteria.
