Abstract: Load supports (10), in the form of pallets, have a front plate (12), a rear plate (14), frame members (20) and an upper surface member (22). Two pallets (10) can come together as shown, one inverted relative to the other and can inter fit which results in space saving when the pallets (10) are not in use. For example, the dimensions of the front and rear plates (12, 14) allow the rear plates (14) to be received in-board of the front plates (12) and resting against the frame members (20) of the other pallet (10). Once inter fitted, the volume of the pallets (10) is less than the sum of the volume of two independent pallets.

Abstract: A pallet 10 for use with a racking system has an upper surface 12 and engagement means in the form of hooks 14 and a rear rim 16 which will engage a racking system. A continuous base 18 is spaced below the upper surface 12, in use. This allows the pallet to sit flat on a roller conveyor system, for instance. Apertures 20 allow fork lift tines to be introduced and are provided on each of the four sides of the pallet 10, for ease of handling. Structures within the pallet add to safety by ensuring that the pallet is restrained against sliding or tipping on the fork lift tines.
