PCT No. PCT/AU97/00382 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 22, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 22, 1999 PCT Filed Jun. 17, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO98/03408 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 29, 1998A pallet having a load-carrying surface (2) constructed of a substantially flat impervious material having a multiplicity of upstanding projections to prevent slippage on the surface while permitting cleaning of the surface. A ground-engaging part (8) of the pallet has at its underside an array of apertures so configured that when two like pallets are arranged in stacked configuration the projections on the load-carrying surface of a lower one of the pallets will engage within the apertures in the ground-engaging part of the upper of the two pallets to prevent slippage of the upper pallet relative to the lower pallet. Preferably, the ground engaging part of the pallet includes an array of substantially parallel reinforcing ribs (10) and the apertures are defined between adjacent ribs.
