Abstract
A pallet having a top section and trusses which form support members in a bottom section is disclosed. The trusses can facilitate maintenance of a pre-load in the top section of the pallet. The trusses extend from the top section to a supporting surface upon which the pallet rests. Leading edges of the trusses can be curved in order to provide the pallet with skis. The curved leading edges facilitate movement of the pallet along the supporting surface.
