According to the present invention, the load receiving plate and the can-like body can be assembled in one-touch by simply pressing the end of the can-like body such as an empty can against the can-like body connecting portion having the claw portion of the load receiving plate. Therefore, it is possible to provide a footrest for a cargo receiving, which has a small number of constituent parts, is easy to assemble and manufacture, and therefore has a low manufacturing cost. In particular, if a steel empty can is used for the can, it is possible to provide a cheap and lightweight footrest for receiving cargo, which has high practical value and contributes to resource saving.

Also, by connecting the pallet structure to the can-shaped member connecting portion of the foot material, the shape and strength of the can-shaped member connecting portion of the foot material can be utilized for connecting the pallet structure, and the foot material and the pallet can be connected. There is an effect that the connection strength of the structure can be increased and stabilized, and the load bearing strength of the pallet is increased.
