Abstract: A pallet which comprises a four sided platform with forklift tine receiving channels disposed at each side of the platform is disclosed. Horizontal surface engaging wheels are disposed on the bottom of the platform for supporting the platform and for enabling the platform to be moved along a horizontal surface. Vertical surface engaging rollers are disposed on the first and the third sides of the platform for preventing frictional engagement of the first and the second sides of the platform with a vertical surface. An automatic connecting and retracting means is positioned at the second side of the platform for enabling the automatic retraction of the connecting and retracting device upon contact of the device with a wall.
