Abstract
A pallet includes a planar portion for supporting articles and feet extending from the bottom of the planar portion. The upper surface of the planar portion includes recesses formed therein having center islands extending upward even with the supporting surface. The feet include bottoms having a center recess and rim extending around the recess. The rim of the feet extend into the recess on the upper surface when the empty pallets are stacked and the center islands extend into the bottom recess of the foot to provide nesting and to prevent lateral sliding of the pallets.
