ABSTRACT:
A pallet capable, when supporting a load, of being alternately lifted and transported by a forklift having prongs or manually rolled across a floor. The pallet includes interconnected upper and lower planar members which form a pallet assembly featuring recesses for accommodating the prongs of the forklift. The pallet assembly further includes a mechanism for connecting a handle assembly near one end of the pallet assembly. The pallet assembly farther includes a pair of wheels mounted near the opposite end of the pallet assembly. The wheels are mounted so that when the pallet assembly lies horizontally on the floor the weight of the pallet is largely supported by the lower planar member while when the pallet is tilted so that the end away from the wheels is lifted the pallet is supported by the wheels so that the pallet and its load can be readily manually rolled on the floor.
