The pallet 1 is of a rectangular parallelepiped with a square top face, which is a plate 2 on which a heavy matter of a wheel 15a is placed. The pallet 1 has outer edges 27a to 27d, which are the side faces of the pallet 1, on which recessions 12a to 12h are formed so that each face has respective recessions by the same number and at the same position. When the pallet 1 is used, for example, the pallet 1 is set in the container at a position where the outer edge 27a is counter to a side wall of the container. Then a stopper member is fitted from above into the recessions 12a, 12h to keep the pallet 1 prevented from moving toward the side wall via the stopper member held in the recessions 12a, 12h.
