Platform for the lifting and handling of goods
First Claim
1. In a platform for the lifting and handling of goods, comprising a base frame, a frame forming a loading plane, both frames being made of a polymeric material, and being superimposed on one another, and uprights extending between and connecting the frames, the improvement wherein the frame forming the loading plane is formed by a pair of spaced apart superimposed reticular structures which each comprise a network of intersecting elongate members, the members of each reticular structure being staggered with respect to those in the other such structure and the reticular structures being connected at least by means of joining elements connecting the structures at locations where the elongate members of one structure cross those of the other structure forming the loading frame itself as a rigidly braced three dimensional reticular framework structure.

Abstract
A platform for the lifting and handling of goods comprising a base frame, a loading frame, both made of a polymeric material, and superimposed on one another, and uprights extending between and connecting the frames. The loading frame is formed by a pair of reticular structures, which are superimposed on one another. The intersecting elongate members of each reticular structure are staggered with respect to those in the other such structure and the reticular structures are connected to form a rigid construction at least by means of joining elements connecting the structures at locations where the elongate members of one structure cross those of the other structure.
