The top deck is formed substantially of a second material, and has a generally flat platform for receiving, storing, or transporting one or more goods. The top deck also has a top pedestal portion including an upper receiving track. The bottom deck is formed substantially of a third material. The bottom deck has a generally flat base. The bottom deck also has a bottom pedestal portion including a lower receiving track. Together the upper receiving track and the lower receiving track define a channel for receiving the reinforcement structure. The top deck and the bottom deck define a plurality of apertures.
