Abstract: A loading plate structure adapted together with other loading plate structures of the same design to form a stack, which includes a preferably rectangular or square-shaped normally horizontal loading plate which at each of its corner sections has connected thereto a supporting post of square, rectangular or any other polygonal cross section. Each post has preferably detachably connected to its top and bottom section the free ends of the two arms of a U-shaped yoke. Each yoke projects from the post to which it is connected in the direction to the adjacent yoke, and the transverse section of each U-shaped yoke which interconnects the pertaining two arms is spaced from the pertaining post by a distance that is less than half the distance between the two adjacent posts between which the respective U-shaped yokes project.
