Abstract: Pallets/spacer assembly, comprising a substantially rectangular pallet (2) and four spacers (1), one spacer being fitted at each corner of the pallet. Each spacer has a first wall (3) and a second wall (4) secured together at right angles. Each spacer has a first part (11) and a second part (12), only the second part having a third wall (5) secured to a free edge of one of the first and second walls at a right angle. The length (a) of the first part (11) is at least half the height of the pallet, and the length (b) of the second part (12) is at least twice the height of the pallet. Staples (10) fasten the first part to the pallet. A fourth wall (6) is secured to a free edge of the third wall (5) and to a free edge of the first or second wall to which the third wall is not joined, the fourth wall having a length equal to the length of the third wall. A fifth wall extends diagonally between two corners of the spacer.
