Abstract: A multi-component pallet includes a first deck and a second deck. The first deck can be configured to be removably connected to the second deck in a first position for use in the load-bearing assembled state. The first deck can also be configured to be nested with the second deck when the pallet is in the unloaded, disassembled state. The first deck and the second deck can be configured such that the volume of the pallet in the load-bearing assembled state is greater than the volume of the first deck and the second deck when they are nested in the unloaded, disassembled state.

Abstract: A cargo support device in the form of a pallet or a container includes a platform having a cargo support surface, at least one base member for ground support projecting from the platform, the at least one base member having a curved recess formed therein for external access thereto, the curved recess being defined by walls extending into the base member and defining a positioning surface, a receiving surface and a lifting surface.
