A structurally supporting pallet article including a rectangular shaped body having a specified thickness and a plurality of downwardly extending support locations. A processor controlled receiver is incorporated into the body for providing at least one of tracking and identification of cargo supported upon said body. Visual identification of a selected pallet article is facilitated by the inclusion of illuminating elements. A second embodiment discloses a pallet having a three dimensional shaped body. A sensor is integrated into the body for determining when the body is immersed in a body of water. A plurality of bladders are supported within the body in first retracted positions and which, upon being triggered by the sensor, are deployed in outwardly expanded fashion through openings along the body. A propulsion and steerage mechanism is integrated into an underside of the body.

1. A structurally supporting pallet shaped article, comprising: a rectangular shaped body having a specified thickness and including a plurality of downwardly extending support locations;a receiver incorporated into said body for providing at least one of tracking and identification of cargo support
1. A structurally supporting pallet shaped article, comprising: a rectangular shaped body having a specified thickness and including a plurality of downwardly extending support locations;a receiver incorporated into said body for providing at least one of tracking and identification of cargo supported upon said body;said cargo including a plurality of part supporting template portions seating upon mating recessed and locating channels configured into an upper surface of said insert, said channels each being arranged in a closed perimeter to establish a recessed interior for fixing in position a selected template portion;concave vacuum portions incorporated into said recess located and perimeter extending channels, a perimeter extending rubber gasket surrounding said channel and said template portion underside, a vacuum generating structure incorporated into said body and communicating with each of said concave vacuum portions; anda plurality of surface located manual engaging/release valves incorporated into passageways leading to fluid communicating inside or underside locations associated with each of said vacuum generating portions, said valves being manipulated in a first direction to create a vacuum holding seal for retaining the template portions and their hollow sealed interiors, said valves further being manipulated in a second direction for de-pressurizing the vacuum force associated with a given surface located item or template and in order to permit removal thereof from said body. 2. The article as described in claim 1, said article operating as a reinforced pallet and further comprising a plurality of edge or corner defined mating locations established between upper and lower surfaces, such that a second identically configured pallet is capable of being seated in supporting fashion upon a first pallet. 3. The pallet as described in claim 1, said insert exhibiting a specified shape and size and further comprising at least one of a galvanized steel, corrugated paperboard, honeycomb paperboard or like rigid and structurally supporting material. 4. The article as described in claim 1, further comprising a plasticized material encapsulating said body. 5. The article as described in claim 4, further comprising an aggregate material entrained within said plasticized material. 6. The article as described in claim 1, further comprising at least one antenna extending from said receiver and communicating with a remote transmitter. 7. The article as described in claim 1, further comprising a plurality of bladders expanding from a stored position within said insert to an expanded and deployed position outside of said insert in order to establish buoyancy upon a body of water. 8. The article as described in claim 7, further comprising a sensor in said insert for determining the existing of the body of water and for deploying actuation of said bladders. 9. The article as described in claim 7, further comprising a propulsion and steerage mechanism incorporated into said insert and projecting from an underside location. 10. The article as described in claim 1, further comprising inter-attracting magnets disposed in upper and lower surface proximate locations of said pallets for facilitating adhered stack ability. 11. The article as described in claim 9, said magnets further comprising upper surface located and spring loaded magnets in combination with bottom surface recessed magnets of opposite polarity which, upon stacking atop an identically configured pallet, draws said upper spring supported magnet of a lower pallet into seating contact with an opposing and underside situated magnet associated with a upper pallet. 12. The article as described in claim 1, further comprising at least one audio-visual output incorporated into said insert for identifying the location of said pallet upon receipt by said receiver of a location querying signal from said transmitter. 13. The article as described in claim 12, said output further comprising a plurality of edge located LED illuminating elements. 14. The article as described in claim 2, said mating locations further comprising pluralities of upper rim edges and lower recessed edges for establishing multiple stacking of a plurality of pallets. 15. A pallet, comprising: a three dimensional shaped body;a sensor integrated into said body for determining when said body is immersed in a body of water;a plurality of bladders supported within said body in first retracted positions and which, upon being triggered by said sensor, are deployed in outwardly expanded fashion through openings extending along perimeter extending edges of said body such that said expanded bladders define an end-to-end perimeter contacting and extending arrangement in order to support said body upon the body of water in a buoyant fashion;a propulsion and steerage mechanism integrated into an underside of said body and which is actuated from a retracted position to a deployed position for navigating said body upon the body of water;said three dimensional shaped body further including upper and lower identically constructed and stacked bodies, magnets being disposed in upper and lower surface proximate locations of each of said stacked bodies and facilitating inter-attraction between said bodies in a non-use condition; andsaid upper surface located magnets each further including an underside positioned biasing spring which, said lower surface located magnets further including recessed magnets of opposite polarity so that, upon stacking the upper body atop the lower body, said upper surface located and spring supported magnets of said lower body are drawn into seating contact with said opposing and lower surface located magnets of said upper body. 16. The pallet as described in claim 15, further comprising a receiver incorporated into said insert for providing at least one of tracking and identification of cargo supported upon said pallet. 17. The pallet as described in claim 15, further comprising at least one antenna extending from said receiver and communicating with a remote transmitter. 18. A pallet, comprising: a three dimensional shaped body;a sensor integrated into said body for determining when said body is immersed in a body of water;a plurality of bladders supported within said body in first retracted positions and which, upon being triggered by said sensor, are deployed in outwardly expanded fashion through openings extending along perimeter extending edges of said body such that said expanded bladders define an end-to-end perimeter contacting and extending arrangement in order to support said body upon the body of water in a buoyant fashion;a propulsion and steerage mechanism integrated into an underside of said body and which is actuated from a retracted position to a deployed position for navigating said body upon the body of water; andsaid three dimensional shaped body further including upper and lower identically constructed and stacked bodies, magnets being disposed in upper and lower surface aligning locations of each of said stacked bodies, a selected one of each of mating pair of magnets being influenced by an underside positioned spring into contact with the other selected magnet to facilitate inter-attraction between said bodies in a non-use condition.
