The disclosure relates to a pallet extender for mounting at an end of an aircraft cargo pallet comprising, a first elongate load support panel, hinges on one elongate edge of the panel to mount the panel along an end of a pallet to pivot about an axis extending along said edge of a panel. A second elongate panel, extends along the other elongate edge of the first panel and is connected thereto by a hinge to allow the second panel to pivot with respect to the first panel. Locking means act between the first and second panels to lock the second panel in any one of a plurality of different attitudes with respect to the first panel. Support structures are provided at both ends of said one panel extending to one side of the panel, and brace means connect the support structures to the pallet to support the panels at a required attitude with respect to the pallet. The support structures have mountings to support the second panel in a horizontal attitude when the first panel extends upwardly and outwardly of the end of the pallet supported by said brace means.
