Abstract
The present invention relates to a pallet comprising at least two stringers in the form of elongate main profiles 10 which extend along a longitudinal direction L, are connected to each other and are located at a distance from each other; the main profiles have a cross section which comprises a bottom 11 and two side surfaces 12a, 12b extending from the bottom and provided with through-openings through both side surfaces 12a, 12b in order to form a channel that permits introduction of a fork. In one embodiment, the pallet comprises at least one elongate stiffening profile 20 extending above and past said opening on both sides. The pallet may comprise a load-transferring end element, which at least partially covers an end of one of the main profiles, a load-transferring stiffening element that extends in direct proximity to and along a vertically extending edge of one of the openings and a filler profile which extends along the underside of the load deck.
