The pallet has a left outrigger attached and extending transverse to the convex spine, the left outrigger stabilizing the pallet with respect to terrain, as well as a right outrigger attached and extending transverse to the convex spine, the right outrigger stabilizing the pallet with respect to terrain. The pallet can have a coupling extending from an end of the convex spine, wherein the coupling is arranged to take a crane hook in engagement to pull the pallet.
