Claim 1

A platform structure of the pallet type having a lengthwise and a widthwise extension and on one side thereof a load bearing sheet structure with a load bearing face and a back face and on the opposite side thereof at least two leg formations defining therebetween entry ways for a lifting fork prong and wherein each leg formation is made of at least partly corrugated sheet material, wherein, according to the improvement, each said leg formation comprises a pair of spaced apart coplanar flat strip portions attached to said back face of said sheet structure, and between said flat strip portions and integral therewith two contiguous V-profiles extending lengthwise and parallel to each other, each V-profile having a free vertex edge at a distance from said back face, said two profiles defining a valley of triangular shape therebetween and opening away from said back face, the aperture of said valley being defined by the distance between the free vertex edges of said contiguous V-profiles and within said valley a triangular reinforcement inserted therein, said triangular reinforcement having its base side closing said aperture and cooperating with said free edges of said V-profile to define together therewith an increased resting surface for said platform structure, and to prevent deformation of said V-profile.
