Abstract
A pallet (10) comprising a top deck consisting of planks (20, 22, 24, 26) to the undersides of which blocks (28, 30, 32) are secured. The entire pallet is deformed to a convex form so that its length and width are reduced with respect to its undeformed dimensions. The lower faces of the blocks are joined by chordally extending strip material (18) which is tensioned by the pallet. Tensioning of the strips (18) ensures that these lie flat on the floor out of the way of the tines of a forklift truck when these are inserted below the planks to lift the pallet.
