Abstract: An air cargo pallet in which a square or rectangular thin light metal plate is trimmed along its edges by profiles which are riveted to the edges of the plate and have miter cut sections adjoining at the corners. Shear is resisted at the junctions of the miter cut sections by insert parts which are flat, elongated and fish shaped and which have a pointed end and a recess at the opposite end, each defined between flanks forming a vertex at 90.degree. and braced between internal and external corners of the walls of a hollow space within profiles.
