Abstract: A load-handling pallet includes a load bearing platform, a base member, and a plurality of block elements. The block elements are arranged to interconnect the load bearing platform to the base member. In one embodiment, snap-fit connections are provided between the block elements and both the platform and the base member. The snap-fit connections are arranged to be engaged by a movement perpendicular to the plane of the platform. The snap-fit connection is facilitated by inserting spigots, projecting from opposing sides of the block elements, within apertures formed in the platform and base member.
