A one-piece pallet comprises a substantially rectangular panel which forms the load-bearing surface 10 of the pallet. Hollow feet 1 are located along the edges of the panel and a further foot 1a in the geometric centre thereof. The feet 1, 1a are disposed so as to project and taper downwardly of the panel, the latter having an opening above each foot 1, 1a. Upwardly open channel- shaped ribs 2 interconnect each two neighbouring feet 1 and further ribs 3 extend diagonally from the central foot 1a toward respective corner feet 1. Each rib 3 has, at its free end, an integrally formed stacking buffer member 3a, whose height is smaller than that of the feet 1, 1a and whose length and width are greater on the bottom side of the panel that on the top side thereof. in a stacked position of a plurality of such pallets the nesting feet of the pallets are prevented from jamming by the buffer members 3a which by virtue of being part of the ribs 3 are less liable to be accidentally damaged during handling of the pallets. <IMAGE>
