Abstract: A collapsible multi-level pallet having a collapsed position and an erected position includes a lower goods-supporting platform, an upper goods-supporting platform, a goods-supporting leaf and a plurality of legs. In the collapsed position, the upper goods-supporting platform, leaf and legs lay flat against the horizontal lower platform. The footprint of the collapsed apparatus is no greater than the footprint of the lower goods-supporting platform. In the erected position, the substantially vertical legs support the upper platform in a horizontal position above the lower platform, and the leaf is pivoted from the upper platform into a fixed position over the lower platform. The extended leaf is supported by a pair of deployable legs. A locking mechanism is used to lock the apparatus in the erected position. Goods may be loaded onto the upper and lower platforms of the erected pallet.
