Abstract
A pallet system comprising a pallet and a support therefor, the support comprising two parallel opposed horizontal rails of channel section, open towards each other and spaced to receive opposed side edge portions of a pallet moved in a horizontal plane between the rails. The pallet bears on substantially the full length of the lower flanges in a stowed position and is prevented from significant upward movement by the upper flanges. The upper flanges are cut away at one end to expose to view from overhead the corresponding ends of the lower flanges, so that a pallet can be lowered to rest two of its corners on the exposed ends of the lower flanges and thus be located before horizontal movement into the stowed position.
