A load-carrying pallet includes a rectangular deck and blocks arranged under the deck to provide runners along its side edges. More blocks are located between the runners, yet are spaced from them to support the center portion of the deck, the endmost of these center blocks being located along the end edges of the deck. Between the ends of the center blocks and the runners are entry slots which extend beneath the deck for the full length of the deck for accepting the tines of a forklift at either end of the deck. Moreover, the center blocks are arranged to provide cross channels which are perpendicular to the entry slots, and these channels align with side entry blocks in the runners. The side entry blocks permit the tines of a forklift to enter the cross channels and pass beneath the deck from either side edge of the deck, thus providing the pallet with the capability of four-way entry. Some of the blocks may be formed in an extrusion process from a cellulose material which is bonded together in a tubular configuration by a resin. Others of the blocks may be cut from paperboard honeycomb material.
