A dismantlable pallet including a substantially planar, upper load bearing member with a reinforcing internal frame; a substantially planar, lower supporting base with a reinforcing internal frame configured to improve the structural rigidity and load bearing capacity of the base. The pallet further includes a plurality of spaced apart support members sandwiched between the load bearing member and the base defining apertures between the load bearing member and the base, rendering the pallet releasably engageable with conventional and compatible load transporting apparatuses; and at least one releasable fastener to secure the load bearing member to the base with their respective reinforcing internal frames and the support members sandwiched between the member and the base wherein the load bearing member and the base are made of a rubber compound selected from the group including hardness, tensile strength, tear resistance, abrasion resistance, temperature resistance, impact resistance, slip resistance and moisture resistance.

The presently disclosed pallet is made of plastic, optionally recycled plastic, is low weight, and can handle weight up to more than 2.75 tons as a stacking load. The pallet has a unique design of ribs forming an upper deck and a lower deck to hold the required load. The upper deck and lower deck of the pallet are separated by a group of legs. Cross ribs are provided in each of the upper and lower decks and are oriented perpendicularly to reduce the weight of the pallet without significantly reducing its strength.
