Abstract: A transport and storage device comprised of individual, modular components connected to each other, preferably in the form of easily connected profile sections. The transport device may include a goods holding device forming the pallet deck, and a support device around the sides of the holding device, which support device includes a plurality of sections each including a base, a footing section extending upward from the base, and a supporting member mounted to the footing section for receiving and supporting the holding device. The sections of the support device may be provided with grooves, or drilled or punch openings, into which tongues, nuts or screws can be inserted, which are used to connect the components of the system according to the invention, thus insuring easy assembly, disassembly and interchangeability of the components of the transport and storage device.
