A pallet for carrying articles stacked upon it formed from a plurality of platform runners which extends parallel to one another along a first axis which define a support plane on which the articles will be rested. A plurality of support runners extend parallel to one another along a second axis defining a base plane on which the pallet will rest. The support runners are disposed on the same side (usually the lower side) of the platform runners with the axes being non-parallel to one another. Adhesives means join the platform runners and the support runners at their intersections. The runners have an axially extending cavity, and there is a rigid closed cell structural foam core which fills these cavities to resist compressive deformation of the foam filled runners by forces exerted on them. The foam filled runners all have substantial resistance to bending forces. Alternatively, the foam filled runner may be considered as a covered foam body.
