  • A) a generally planar load bearing platform structure formed as a unitary, molded plastic structure including an upper wall structure defining a platform surface at its upper side for receipt of a load and a bottom wall structure integral with said top structure and defining the bottom of said platform structure and spaced beneath said upper wall structure to define a void between said top and bottom wall structures; and

    B) an insert positioned beneath said upper wall structure in said void and having a convexly bowed configuration with its downwardly disposed opposite ends supported on said bottom wall structure but free to move relative to said bottom wall structure and its raised central portion disposed proximate the underside of said upper wall structure so as to tend to flatten in response to placement of a load on said platform surface.
