Abstract: A novel platform made of paper materials for the storage, stacking, handling and transportation of goods comprises a top deck comprising a plurality of top deck boards (20a-20e) and a plurality of support beam assemblies (30). The plurality of top deck boards (20a-20e) are attached at regular intervals and perpendicular to the plurality of support beam assemblies (30). In the platform, the top deck boards (20a-20e) and the support beam assemblies (30) are both constructed solely from a combination of a plurality of longitudinal elements having a L-shaped cross-section. The novel platform may further include a bottom deck (40a-40c) comprising a plurality of bottom deck boards which are also constructed solely from a combination of a plurality of longitudinal elements having a L-shaped cross-section.
